care to elaborate?

Not that I'm on his side, but what you're asking for is an inherently difficult thing to do. Nobody exactly keeps open books on how precisely they are breaking the law.

Also if he were to name names, you'll cost those people their jobs (legitimate or illegitimate they may be) and/or he ends up on the wrong end of a lawsuit when the illegitimate employer is made aware, covertly lets go of those illegal workers, and then claims defamation when nothing is found to be wrong.

thats really what you gathered from that post???

Prior to government handouts, people with no skills, worked no skill jobs. it was a net win for the country as people who were unemployable had jobs. with government handouts, at the bottom of the scale it is easier for people with no skills to collect a check from the government (OUR pockets) while at the same time forcing employees to hire illegals to do the job "americans dont want", this has the double negative of burdening our system even further and taking money out of our economy as a large number of migrant workers send their money back home, taking it out of the american economy.

why cant these people on welfare be given jobs "americans wont do" and start contributing "their fair share"???

I dont disagree with your point on the market. My issue is that you dont want a free market, you want to artificially increase the wages of employees who dont deserve it.

Lets look at it like this. Lets say they do jump from 10-15 bucks overnight. well, what about the people who were making 15.25? are they getting a 5 buck an hour raise as well? or are they now considered minimum wage jobs?? If ive worked to get out of a min wage job and to make 5 bucks over, shouldnt I also get a raise to offset the difference? and so on and so on.

so now we have people who worked hard to get their raises getting shit on

So you'd prefer the opposite order? Wars first, offshore oil exploration later?

explain to me why gas in NY (yesterday) was 3.84, no service. But in NJ, it was 3.31 full service??? how can NJ afford to pay their full service attendants, and give us cheeper gas than in NY

What's the alternative? Do you think you can convince everyone that deprivation is better than plenty? Do you think the government will suddenly start adopting sound economic policies rather than economic policies to satisfy greed and envy and entitlement and grievance and short-term political goals? What would cause that to happen? And if it happened, what would cause it to continue?

No, but i can tell you when I worked at a mcdonalds as a kid, min wage was 4:80 or something close to that. NY raised it to 7 bucks, the cost of all the food rose by a dollar overnight, the dollar menu was taken down and 3 people did get fired.

Personal stories are by no means indicitive of the entire situation, but thats one example of what happens when you raise min wage

really? I had no idea that gas stations owned people in the past. I thought we were free to come and go as we please....

Really? I dont believe that at all. one should not be paid 20 buck an hour to pick apples, or take an order at mcdonalds, the job is not worth that much, if it were our food would cost double and we would be in the same boat. just because you now make 50 grand instead of 25 sounds good, but if the cost of everything goes up to match that change, whats the point??

no, what you describe is your fearful thoughts of what libertarianism actually is. Do yourself a favor and actually read their platform instead of insulting people you dont understand. www.lp.org. Educate yourself, you might stop sounding like a smug jackass

how can you blame the republicans for the state of nasa? bush had the funding in place when he left office, obama gutted the program, and made one of NASAs missions, sorry their "formost" mission is increading the relationship with muslims. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

explain to me what reaching out to muslims have to do with space travel????

there is alot of blame to go around, but a lot of it belongs on obama

which is EXACTLY why I feel you living where you do, with your peers should have more say in your own life than a couple of rich people in washington who are out of touch with the realities of where you live.

finally someone understands the reason we are in this mess
