OH MY G-D!!! THE MINIMUM WAGE LAWS ARE SOCIALISM!!!

[SammyBlue]

This CNS guy on the Majority Report is an asshole!!!

on edit: Now, homeless people WANT to be homeless??? WHAT IS THIS FUCKING DOUCHEBAG SMOKING??????

[Archae]

1. Who is this CNS moran?

CNS has so many...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. White phosphorous?? It is rather hard on the brain.... on the

other hand, corporate welfare is socialism of the highest order... up to and including no bid contracts, and jobs doaled out to your pals in bidness.

3. He Knows He's Lying

He is paid to lie.... he's probably been lying for so long, he has started to believe in his own bullshit. He sounds so sincere too.... that's how good liars do it. They make themselves believe in the lie.

[Canuckistanian]

4. Thom Hartmann had a good point

The guy actually agreed that child labor should be illegal, then Thom said "A-Ha!, then you DO believe in regulation, then."

[ikojo]

5. Used to be called conservative news service

I don't understand why they are given time on air america. Aren't the network news and NPR enough?

Rush and his ilk don't have liberals on their shows.

[smokey nj]

9. Thom Hartmann often invites conservatives to be on his

program and engage in debate. Generally, it's good natured, but this guy is just a nasty, talking point spewing monkey. I can't stand when Thom has him on.

6. I'll make him a deal

I'll take that characterization if he admits that having no minimum wage law results in feudalism.

[Up2Late]

7. Wait a few more minutes and he'll say Cigarettes are a legal product...

...so how could they be bad for you? :crazy:

I agree with those above that said they are paid to lie, because they are.

[Monkeyman]

8. I like to him to meet the two homeless Iraqi Vets who where

On the streets last week. I think they kick his butt all the way to Iraq

[azurnoir]

10. Heard these A**holes say

social security and medi-care were communism

[fordnut]

11. Gas

If a person makes minimum wage that person has to work an average of 14 hours just to fill their car up that leaves 26 hours if they work a forty hour week to live on,you know pay rent utilities car insurance and buy food.How can anyone live like that?

[Charlie Brown]

12. you could make a good argument that laws against abortion and gay marriage

fit this guy's definition of "socialism."

I have a feeling he has no problem with either of those.

[smokey nj]

14. He opposes regulation of the free market.......

He's perfectly happy with regulating individual behavior for the good of society. You should hear him discuss the need for abstinence-only sex education.

[Drum]

13. No, I think that a "maximum wage" ceiling would be closer to

communism (as in what does a private citizen need with more money than $xxx?)

Having NO minimum wage is more like social Darwinism, aka Only the Fit Shall Survive.

America is better than either alternative...America enables people to get a start and have a little stability (aka Fairness) and their ingenuity can take it from there.

[brokensymmetry]

15. Well, I suppose the minimum wage is socialism.

So is Social Security and Medicare. Medicaid is, certainly.

Requirements for workmen's compensation - that's socialism too.
As are a lot of consumer protection laws.

Good. Maybe we could use a bit more socialism - say, for
universal health care, a living wage, and aid to education.

We've permitted the right to frame arguments whereby they
define a term - in this case, socialism - as bad, such that
we recoil from it. Maybe it's time we embrace it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Minimum wage is part of the supply and demand formula

That's why they need more illegal immigrants. The more that come in, the more they can dick around and keep the MW down. Someone needs to tell that asshat he needs to take an economics course.

[brook]

17. Please.

I beg you ( and everyone else) to call it a "living wage". "Minimum wage" is just that - a wage that does not provide the basic necessities of life and is designed to keep people in perpetual poverty.

Thanks.
