No they should be thrown out of office for violaiting their oath to uphold the constitution if they took one and should be fired and never allowed to hold another government office if they were not required to take an oath.

However for those who do not accept the faith truth of natural law still applies. The law of gravity cannot be defied. Socialists can lie about the benefits of their flawed system but it cannot work as it attempts to defy natural law.

Minimum Wage is one of the best examples of government failure. When a bunch of evil politicians start arguing for increasing the minimum wage their very own arguments prove that it does not work. If minimum wage laws work why would the minimum wage be set at $7.25 per hour. If they work you would set it at $100 per hour.

It is much easier simply to ignore them…or not have any in the first place!!

I wrote about compromise yesterday…you may find it a good read…

The problems in the U S today are because people are indoctrinated with socialism and Marxism in our government run schools. It is what you learn outside of school that prevents you from supporting people like Oboma, Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, or any of the other big government candidates.

Face it most jobs can be done well with a 6th grade education and 30 days of on the job training. If I am not mistaken the Mennonites only run their schools to age 16. (Perhaps that is equal to a masters degree in government schools!) I would guess the unemployment rate among Mennonites is 0%.

Santorum is just another police state supporter and a warmonger, just another big government politician trying to destroy the Unites States to set up one world government.

You should be ashamed.

Don’t be blinded by supporting a political party.

I disagree with may other points you make, especially in relation to Mr Gengrich’s qualifications for public office, but for now, and in this matter you nailed it.

Thanks for the ongoing discussion!

As usual, your insight penetrates well beyond the symptom to the big three, viz. cause, effect and motive.

What makes uncle Tom’s poisonous seeds so deadly is the avuncular style which he adroitly uses to inculcate the GOP’s problem/reaction/solution rhetoric into the fertile minds of sponge-boobs who seem to be more focused on Superbowl Sunday than how the rent-seekers and their country-club-Republican disseminators advantage ignorance.

Tom Sow-well sows the seeds of misinformation well on the ignorance farm better know as amerika.

lots of the blue collars you cite are similarly cartelized. but it is still possible to do business, get good work at better pricing, with unlicensed entrepreneurs. my mechanic is in that latter category.

some run-on sentences can outrun the synapses that conceived them……

You can’t hire a plumber, an electrician or an auto mechanic for $7.15 an hour. We are willing to pay those people a lot more for their expertise. Employers pay more for skilled workers, too.
So, the best way to help those who are only making the minimum is to provide them with knowledge, skills and experience so they can command a higher wage.

But our public education system has failed to do that. If employers have to provide the training, they should be allowed to pay a lower wage. Wage + training + experience is worth more than wages alone.

When you raise wages, the cost of goods and services go up. Extra $$ aren’t worth much if they don’t buy anything! The Minimum Wage earner thinks he got a raise, so he doesn’t see the need to improve his skill level, which is the only way he will ever improve his earning potential.

Did anyone benefit from raising the minimum wage? To find out, follow the money.

The more $$ you earn, the more $$ you pay in taxes.

Look at the whole banking/ Wall Street issue of the last decade.

Perhaps more folk picked up Romney’s index as a real eye opener than I had thought?

No wonder the Marxist in the White House hates the Constitution. Let us stand firm against the Evil living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

see rothbard’s “education: free and compulsory”. see john taylor gatto.

sowell’s credentials indicate “economist”, but this screed is not economics. it’s politics (power). as usual.

when the fed reserve, & fiat currency supplantation of sound money, is taken for granted, as sowell does here, and one altogether necessary follow-on response to the institutionalized embezzlement that these two things are, namely wage indexing (a la minimums, but don’t forget maximums, either, as during ww2, when “benefits” packages, revolving around employer provided insurance were fabricated in the competition for employees that wages no longer facilitated, as wages were capped by state/gov edict), in favor of trumpeting con-servative “values”, then the lie is glaringly obvious.

a parasite does not want to go so far as to kill its host; a parasite wants to draw out the feast for as long as it can. embezzlement is a kind of parasitism. wages without some, little, indexing to partially offset the value, the purchasing power, being sucked out & away from the currency by the parasite, would kill the host too quickly. so minimum wage, already an index, is to be indexed to an exponent (since it has contented, & distracted, the host body so well already…).

sowell foments the followers, with recycled regurgitation. he is at symptom level – which is really tactical level, of those who butter his bread.

for econ, study the austrians, not apologists, like sowell.

Therefore he is UNFIT to carry the Republican banner.

The minimum wage law is a socialist vehicle that has probably destroyed the job prospects of countless millions upon MILLIONS of poor people.

The law is championed (mostly) by millionaire politicians, most of whom have never (or ever could) run a business on their own.

One of the glories of capitalism is that people get paid what they’re worth. Not always right away, but eventually. Capitalism rewards the diligent and punishes the lazy, which is how it should be.

The only way for poor folks to become independently wealthy is to eschew EVERY form of liberal entitlements… walk the straight and narrow… be diligent… and seek to develop their God-given talents.

I am politically conservative. Should he win the Republican nomination, it will be VERY difficult for me to vote for the likes of Mitt Romney, a man who doesn’t appreciate the raw power and potential of capitalism.

If capitalism is in any way flawed (which, as an economic system, it is NOT), it is only so because men are by nature fallen and sinful creatures of Adam and Eve.

That is what God’s Word, the Bible, teaches.

Free market capitalism is the economic system taught in the Bible… which is one of the reasons why traditionally Protestant Christian nations (as America once was) have ALWAYS surpassed those of Roman Catholic nations, and others.

The gains of 2010 for EVIL (aka adults), will be rolled back.

The risk that the central bankers, the zombie bankers, the Wall Streeters, and the Conservative establishment Occupying the White House, may be held accountable in this world for the Stealing, Poverty, and Death caused by their economy will be rolled back from one in bizzzillion – back to blaming those awesomely EVIL people we are conservatives – like the truck drivers, construction workers, and small businessmen and the old sales manager trying to eke out a living as my local Walmart Greeter.

Rombama represents the climax of the “Conservative Ascendancy” – if elected he will reset the mark – EVIL Conservative will be those monsters who DO NOT want you shipped to a camp.

That’s it.

The real hope here is that A) Obama will destroy the economy on his watch and B) the Ideologues wake up and realize they have been on the wrong team all along – thinking windmills are dragons and then C) the adults start rebuilding out of the mess.

Otherwise – we will simply live out all the socialist dreams of the Lib-tards transferring all of the nation’s remaining wealth to the “True Owners” – those with the power to decide who gets what.

If you don’t believe in a Higher Power, I suggest you drop the scales from your eyes and stop Rombama.

Knowing the electorate consists of liberals, conservatives and ideologues, they have the numbers: 30%Liberal vote for Obama as the “Conservative-lite” (he’s conservative because the commie-pinko fantasy hasn’t created heaven on earth yet – except for those who get the free money) the conservatives (20-45% depending on “definition” vote for someone who is not trying to destroy them, just as they did in all of the election cycles back to 1980 and hope they get “lucky.”

Meanwhile the ideologues read the tea leaves and the runes and vote Against Anything but Perfection by voting for the Least Good Enough. Which in this election may be none of the above. If by some internet magic, Romney gets elected – no harm done to them since he will immediately try to be the Conservative from Central Casting – cutting an irrelevant million here and there with the hope of putting grandma or a man with Downs syndrome in the gutter to prove how vile Conservatives are. While doing so, he may come up with some great ways to give his cronies and their friends even more spectacular IOU’s in trillions of USD without a hyperinflation or a melt-down.

Ahh… a win-win for the Conservative establishment of Obama and his anti-socialist billionaire friends.

This has a huge impact on the Senate, House, State, and Local elections.

Big business can and does pose just as great a threat to individual liberty as big government does; Of course, in amerika big business has merged with big government in the worst of all possible relationships: Some call this criminal act against natural law “crony capitalism;” however, a far more accurate term is crony corporatism.

I pose another question: What responsibilities does corporatist amerkia have regarding you? Currently, that all depends on what the collective murder of crows who run Orwellian amerika decide at any given moment. Currently, one of the primary “responsibilities” is for the public skools (sic) to educate (brainwash) the serfs into behaving like a “responsible” citizen, e.g. “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your [ crony corporatist ] country.” Of course, there are many more examples.

Conclusion: The transnational corporations and their government partners in crime whose primary motive is to amass ever more power and money will do anything to achieve and maintain a hegemonistic market.
