Looking for a big increase in the minimum wage? Don't bank on it
Mon Mar 18, 2013
- If the minimum wage increases to $10, I will have no minimum wage workers i my company. For the service they perform, I can spend $30,000 one time on equipment and eliminate about 15 part-time positions that currently cost me about $110,000 per year in direct cost and another $15,000 in labor additi …
Wealthy spoil their kids, even if they don't intend to, survey says
Thu Jan 10, 2013
- Most have access to the American Dream. Very few ultimately have the combination of hard work and knowledge that it takes to realize it. I t hink it was Bear Bryant that said the "Luck is where opportunity meets preparation". If you don't prepare yourself, you will never be "lucky" because you will …
Obama mocks Romney's 'binders' comment at post-debate rally
Wed Oct 17, 2012
- Do any of you idiots even care how stupid you sound? Romney said he had a binder full of prospects for the jobs. Big deal. There is absolutely nothing sordid about "women in binders". I'm afraid Obama and the democrats have dumbed down the electorate to the point that we as a country are toast. Say …
Vote: Do you agree with Supreme Court ruling on health care law?
Thu Jun 28, 2012
- If they can threaten you with a penalty (excuse me, tax) for not doing what the government wants, what is to stop them from getting involved in every aspect of your life. They could say, "Don't eat red meat", or "allow that homeless guy to live in your home", or "you cannot marry that person". If yo …
Great divide for Obama, Romney: investment, profits, 'fairness'
Wed May 23, 2012
- Nerm L, You are living proof that just because a person can put a sentence together does not mean he has a frickin' clue about anything. Your post made absolutely no sense to me, and it shouldn't have to anybody else with the least bit of business knowledge. The fact that 10 people liked your commen …
Supreme Court expresses skepticism over constitutionality of health care mandate
Tue Mar 27, 2012
- What concerns me most is not the requirement that everyone buy health insurance, but the requirement that I, as an employer, must pay for health insurance for my employees or pay a stiff fine. I am trying to figure out what individual will have to pay for his own healthcare. If the employer must pay …
Here's where the gap is widest between rich, poor
Fri Mar 9, 2012
- It is true that having money makes it easier to earn money. It is also true that if I become rich, my kids are more likely to be rich as well. Why should my kids not be able to benefit from my hard work when I die and pass the wealth to them? Nobody ever said that an average man of average intellige …
Police arrest Occupy DC protesters after they refuse to dismantle structure
Sun Dec 4, 2011
- Perhaps what needs to change is work ethic, pride, and self-sufficiency. We have reached a point where too many people have no idea how to take care of themselves. They have always relied on Uncle Sam, or mom and dad, to provide for them. The change needed is for these folks to go home, clean up, an …
American taxpayers getting off easy
Thu Dec 1, 2011
- I wonder who pays the bulk of the taxes in those other countries. In the US, half pay no federal income taxes. If that is true, then the half who do pay are paying way more than their fair share. If you want to compare apples to apples, make everyone pay an equal share of income in taxes. I imagine …
Thousands protest Wisconsin anti-union bill
Wed Feb 16, 2011
- My only problem with your comments is the last sentence. Why should workers be entitled to take from me, the business owner, every dollar down to the one that actually puts me out of business. Allowing me to stay in business only to provide jobs, but not make a decent profit, will not work. Without …
