Now I don't know anyone who doesn't believe they are due at least minimum wage.
Actually, minimum wage is a myth. Thanks to unions you can be forced to go below it!
Eh? how so? Looking to educate myself here.
A union can negotiate the workers down to minimum wage on paper. Then can, through special union laws, force the workers to pay to work. And the union can take that fee out of their paycheck, literally lowering their pay rate. The union can be owned or controlled by the business in order to ensure that there is no voting or ability to stop the union.
Welcome to what the poor vote for in America. Unions are a very simple means of tricking the poor into lowering their value and making them thankful that it happened to them. It's like the lotto, it's a tax on the poor.
I've never been a fan of unions - and this just adds one more reason to the pile.
Yes, more mouths to feed from the same (or less) work being done. How could that possibly go wrong? Unions are just, yet another, form of welfare. but one paid for exclusively by the poor, never the rich.
Question - do you believe in collective bargaining? Why or why not?

I am amazed at how little those social services would cost. Even if they are on the low-end of estimation it would be a massive benefit for the small increase in taxes.
What Europe has taught us is that they don't cost anything, they save money. A LOT of money. That it would cost anything at all is actually fake. It would generate more money. A healthy, educated, safe populace is more productive.
Except that you now have to find work for all those unemployed insurance company workers
That's what welfare is for. I'd much prefer them on welfare than being in organized crime like they are now.
Nice!

That's why NO ONE complains about the minimum wage being too high, they complain that the minimum wage is "too close to their wage."
Definitely seen that a lot, it's weird.
I've completely missed this on Facebook somehow.

Oh it is huge. I've seen it from a lot of different people... mostly those that earn only a little more than $15/hr and/or military. I've also seen military people mocking those people for not understanding how pay works in the private world.

For example - I'm not looking to get rid of Car Insurance - that's an example that in general shows how awesome shared risk system in the private sector can be.
I don't agree. Car insurance takes more out than it gives back. It's better than healthcare, but not a good system in the interest of the people.
Several, definitely won't say most, payout something like 95% of their fees to claims. Remembering that this is a for profit system, are you really upset as a customer of that system that they use 5% for administration and bonuses? I certainly am not.
Car insurance is awesome for what it is. In general it's catastrophic coverage You're in a wreck, there are 20K in damages.. you're a person who makes $22K a year.. insurance pays the bill for your yearly fee. I consider it a good trade off.
Things like full coverage might not be worthwhile. depends on the situation. -

Things like full coverage might not be worthwhile. depends on the situation.Don't get me wrong, it is far, far better than healthcare. But the way that people have to pay I think is unethical. You can be the best driver in the world, or careful or not drive at all but you have to pay because you live in a house with a car or you are of an age or gender that they feel is a risk.

Yeah, it's not people wanting more, just wanting others to have less.
That is sad to me. Why would someone want their neighbor to have less? ... I cannot fathom that idea. I want my neighbor to do well for themselves.
For me it's closer to say, I don't need to know what my neighbor has - knowing can only serve to make me jealous - that could turn into motivation for me to do something positive about it, but in general for most people, it just makes them dislike them and want to see the fail so they then have less.

The same goes for paying into public education - no kids, decent sized house.. pay huge sums into local school district.

Which in turn makes people like me buy small houses.

I've seen the low wage workers arguing this. I have also seen high wage and business owners making the same argument. Everyone I know in the military, except for that one RWNJ who joined just to shoot people, is for a wage increase.
