    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    God , this is getting tiresome. 1. I don't really worry about the "poor" . My affiliations and my Gov't see to them. 2. I have no idea what the fast food workers in my area make...I don't eat there and I don't associate with them. 3. I don't personally know anyone who makes minimum...

    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    WOW!! You're so smart! You know everything about me, just like that. Amazing. And thank you for proving my point. We have become a society of morons. Just for the record...I am not a leftist. I probably make you look like a "New Dealer". Look it up...under "N" in the history section...

    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    It has nothing whatsoever to do with "feeling good about ourselves", its simply a realization by some people with a shred of commom sense that we can't keep shitting all over the people who are not as fortunate as we are. These aren't necessarily people who are living on the gov't dole. They are...

    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    Valid points all...maybe if we tough talking traders allowed these people to earn a more viable wage, there would be fewer poor to have to care for.

    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    I agree with you, in principal, on several points. Your premise is that executives can be trusted to ultimately do the right thing for competition's sake, if for no other reason than to stay out of jail. I might be inclined to agree with you...20 years ago. But look what is happening. Do I have...

    Minimum Wage ... Unbelivable?

    Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? I've always considered myself a rather stauch Capitalist and politically, just left of Attilla the Hun. However, I find myself disagreeing more and more with the pure capitalist model. Sure, I realize that all of you 20-something mega rich...

    Minimum Wage

    As a hard core right wing capitalist, I would like nothing more than to say.."let the market take care of wages...competition will take place among businesses and workers and wages will go up". However after quite a few years enjoying and promoting our system, I have to say 'BULLSH*T". Free...

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    IMHO, I think a missing piece of the discussion should revolve around the fact that a "share" represents actual ownership in the company, albeit a small share. It is ownership nonetheless. You don't have that with gambling. True...alot of the price movements seem to be smoke and mirrors, but the...

    I wouldn't consider it gambling in the "normal" sense. In a gamble, you place your bet and that's it. You can't change your mind and "stop out" at half time if the game is not going your way. But you can exit a trade when new information presents itself. In the strictest sense, driving to work...
