Would have been nice if they just ended it after the first paragraph and said "look this whole thing doesn't really matter much either way, so why we find something else to bicker over?" Probably would come off as a bit of a downer though.

No correlation to job cuts.

78 years of minimum-wage hikes have produced zero evidence of the "job-killing" consequences these headline writers want us to fear

Na, that's the line he has issue with, cause it goes on to explain that 8 of the 24 raises hurt the economy, but those don't really count for various reasons. And 16 of the 24 had higher employment after 12 months or something like that (paraphrasing from my phone).
So, you can see how he felt that the headlined conclusion of the article was a bit much, given the data they later explain?

comes in. It's a false dichotomy. Basically evidence (and decent evidence, don't mean to discount it) that the opposing side's argument is wrong, followed by poorly supported arguments about why their side is right. Just a couple examples of poor arguments:
Quote:
Wow. If the US economy were 9% bigger than it is today, it would have created about 11 million additional jobs. Imagine how great that would be for both American workers and businesses.
Quote:
No, their core claim is that the minimum wage always hurts the whole economy — that it will always reduce growth— that it is always a sure-fire "job-killer."
Not to say those are necessarily wrong, just that when they transition from addressing 'no correlation to job-killing' to 'let's raise the minimum wage' the evidence grows sparse.

I hate people that make reasonable, well-thought out and researched opinions that make me look uninformed!

Depends whether or not you plan on remembering this talking point but forgetting everything else.

Look, I will remember this, like I remember everything else.
I went to the zoo once, and saw the elephants, so I literally remember everything.

She doesn't support a livable wage, she supports job creation.
So, if I understand correctly, lot's of ****** paying jobs you can work while you starve to death.

To be fair, she's still pretending to care about small business, wherever that's even still a thing-- because god forbid Mom & Pop have to pay their own grand kids enough to move out of the basement.

The Republican dominated Kansas state legislature has voted to overturn Governor Brownback's tax cuts, citing large shortfalls in the state budget, damage to state services like education, road repairs & pension payments, and a failure to stimulate the economy or create jobs.

In Brownback's defense, who could have possibly seen that you'd need money to pay for things?

Slave labor is making a strong comeback. Probably worth looking into if you're building a wall anyway.

To be fair, this is Kansas we're talking about.

One of the more conservative states in the nation? Yeah, that's true.

Well someone has to reign in those Libertarian-leaning types. Going on about their utopias and tax-free prosperity all the time.

Well. More or less. Just watch Ron Paul talk about taxes and public funding sometime and then contrast it to what most Republicans say. It's not surprising at all to have disagreements over where to draw the line on taxes and funding in a heavily conservative state. Just as there are presumably lots of Democrats who disagree on where to draw the line on such things as well.

Whoa! Hold on one second here! Are you saying not all Democrats are the same?

Sure, in theory. But we all know in reality that liberal liberal liberal.

Democrats are a monolithic block of liberal communism but Republicans are replete with shades and swirls and untold depth.
