Speak eloquently of patriotism, fairness, balance, equal rights, safety and such and all along the way seek only the naked self interest of power, riches and fame. The Unaffordable Care Act

How about if we corparations could come up with some really mind blowing wealth making plan, where we end up owning everything as if we could just print as much money as we wish? As well lets actually make a situation where every human has to work just gain debt? oh and why not put some paid dummys on tv to tell everyone all sorts of crazy lies and weird shit, call it 'the news' lol or something. Surely a get together to arange something. ps. ignore this i thought i was in another century.

obama shouldn't demand high taxes for revenues instead encourage the corporations to provide descent wages. Foreign investors don't invest in America if taxes are too high, impossible higher demands of entitlements

[Borak Obummer]

So how much would you consider a decent wage? $10/hr, $20/hr $100/hr...how much do YOU think is a decent wage.

Corporations don't leave this country seeking lower paying wages in foreign countries. They leave this country because the US has the highest corporate taxes in the WORLD and the most restrictive regulations anywhere. In America...you can make as much as you are willing to work for WITHOUT people like you dictating what is a "decent wage" Don't like the wage...go work somewhere else.

I believe that every American job should pay decent wages. I believe that corporations that chose to take their industry out of the United States in favor of low paying wages in foreign countries should be taxed heavily and tariffs imposed compensating for the loss to the economy Corporations that remain here should receive large tax breaks.

I do not think every American job should pay the same, I however feel they should pay a competitive wage. Cost of living has soared wages have declined.

We do have a part time low wage epidemic.....1st correct thing you've ever said. But it has nothing to do with Unions. 40Million unemployed workers trying to get one of the 250k jobs being created has a little more to do with it... SIMPLE Supply and Demand. Look it up.......you'll learn something.

So do you believe then as Obama does when he says " From those according to their abilities, to those according to their needs?"
