 very low price and not realizing how valuable his item really is and when the person leaves they are so statically happy that they're going to make a big profit off this sucker's product and they all do it. They all do it and that's another bad aspect of, negative aspect of capitalism. Because the stone sticks, is the nail sticks between two stones so the sin stick to buying and selling. Yeah. That's what God says. That's from the Bible, yeah. Yeah. Good God said. Yeah. That's only one verse. So like I tell the teabaggers online, open up your Bibles because God is definitely, he's not political but he's definitely not a conservative. God is apolitical, has nothing to do with politics except that he raises up kings and leaders and he makes sure they're the worst that can be. Why is that? Because he's got punishments to undergo here. You mean all the cruel, selfish, greedy monarchies throughout the world are allowed for a reason? God allows evil. He's allowing it all to happen. He allows evil. You are supposed to resist it and overcome it. That's your test. So all this bad news we hear on a weekly basis throughout the world, in our end times, is allowed by God for a reason? Correct. Is it part of a test? Yes, it's not a test, but only for the elect. So you have tests and rewards, okay. Only for the elect. Yeah, not for... Not the vast majority of humankind. Not Joseph. Which will not be resurrected until the great white throne judgment after the millennium. Yeah, not Joe Sixpack that says he's born again and he repented and he goes to... And he will be part of the rapture? And is the rapture... Yeah, that's right. The only ones part of what is termed the rapture are the elect. They are already proving themselves. Now speaking of... Oh, by the way, I just want to salute my friend Paul Terrace O'Walkowinsky who has made it back to Perth, Australia safe and sound from his Indian Club World Tour 2013. And I would like to salute somebody who is actually making made sense when I when I listen to the commercial. Speaking of porn stars, the chubby guy, the son from porn stars was advertising Dr. Bill, the old fashioned stainless steel razor that I went back to that I'm using, the one that takes the flat blade with the two blades, two sides have a blade like I use Wilkinson sword. That you use the brush with? No, I'm actually using the nature's gate shave gel that you gave me a while ago and I love it. I hate that stuff. Oh, I love it, man. Oh, it's so slick. Yeah, well it's silicone. Is it silicone in it? Yeah. Yeah, but organic silicone, right? I don't care what the hell it is, it's silicone and the more water you put to it, the more No, I don't think I don't think nature's gate would use silicone. So when you try to, when you try to like wash it off, you're making it more. Now the reason why you got to wipe it off at the end as a consumer advocate, which we are, I want to salute the actor of not the actor. The man from porn stars for bringing it to the public's attention that the reason why these other razor blade companies have started to make multi blade disposable razors is so they can charge you more money for more blades, but professionals like you said, barbers are still using the single blade to get a close shave and I get the closest shaves ever with the old fashioned razor with the Wilkinson sword blade and That used to be a commercial. Oh, the two sword, the sabers, but the point I'm making is it's economical to use because it's almost one month now and I've been, I'm still getting shaves from one side of the Wilkinson sword blade almost a month. One side of the blade is not dull yet. Every week it's as sharp as can be and it, I'm just, it's not getting dull and I have a feeling the reason why it's not getting dull is because with the old fashioned razor you're able to open it up and rinse and clean it out during the shave under, under hot water. You can't do that with the double or triple or quadruple bladed disposable, you just can't clean it out. But with the old fashioned razor you can clean it out and by keeping this blade clean, I believe in using warm or hot water. I think this is the reason why I'm, I have a whetstone but I can't do, I can't, my grandfather used to and I just can't seem to sharpen it. The double-edged razor? No, I tried many, many positions, many ways. I just, I just can't sharpen the dull blade but hey, I'm getting almost a month out of one side of the, of the blade. Thank you. So I'm, I'm shocked that it's, that it's really lasting that long. I mean, you know, and the only thing I can think of is the fact that you're able to clean it constantly as you're shaving. I mean, the muscle. You're leaving stuff on there. It does corrode it. See, that's, that's what I'm getting at. Debris left on a, on a metallic, on a razor blade must oxidize the metal or corrode it in some way. Pitch it. Pitch it. It pits it. Pitch it. Pitch it. Pitch it. Pitch it. Pitch it. Okay. Let me see how we're doing in terms of readings because we had a long William H. Morrill. Oh, shit. We only have room for one. Oh, I guess I pick a doozy now, I'll pick a letter or two, pick a doozy. Yeah. A letter or two. Okay. Okay. That way we know it will end with a blast eventually. Let's see what we got. I have a question to all proponents of a minimum wage hike. Why limit minimum wage to a subsistence level of $8.25 per hour? Let's just make it $50 per hour. That sounds appropriate to the high cost of living. This guy is being sarcastic. I know he is. Okay. The stroke of the pen move all struggling minimum wage workers to the middle class. Well, the fact of the matter is, but the fact of the matter is, this is my question regarding welfare. Why is it that we indulge in subsistence level welfare? Why don't we bring those people up to middle class? Those people are just existing. They're not on poverty anymore. They're not really living. But we've taken them out of poverty. And when you take them out of poverty, more money is put back into the economy. Yeah. And they join the ranks of the suckers that pay the tax burden in America. Yeah. The middle class. Heck, let's make it $500 per hour. This guy, a wise guy or something. And make them all millionaires. After all. What does this guy have? Is this guy financially independent? He sounds like one. After all, if raising the minimum wage is a good thing, raising it more is even better. Is it not? This guy, I wonder if he's a tea bagger. I denote a little sarcasm in his letter. Of course. We may have to pay $10,000 for a fast food and murder. But it's all for the sake of the underprivileged. He's a wise guy. I want to knock this guy out for sure. Give me his name at the end. So we should all be honored to do this sacrifice, right? Sacrifice him. Price controls in the Soviet Union brought constant shortages of everything from toilet paper to bread. Price controls in the United States have brought shortages of gas and long lines. Actually, we had price controls during World War II. Restrictions on wages during World War II brought employer-provided health insurance and the current mess. No, the current mess is because they don't want to pay anymore for health insurance for their workers. That's the current mess. Well, I guess this guy would be in favor of no rent control either. Of course. Let people pay $5,000 for a studio apartment. Let the market determine. The market? Yeah. You know, the market is probably rigged. It's an illusion, number one. It's a market. Okay. It's freedom for the people that own the businesses and the real estate to rip off their consumers. It's freedom to rip you off blinds, Highway Robert. Show me one example where price controls worked, and don't dilute yourself. Minimum wage is a price control on labor. Would he work for minimum wage? He don't have to. He has enough smarts to get good pay. Don't you understand? So he has his. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about the Republican argument. So this piece of shit has his, and he doesn't care if others don't have theirs. That's correct. That's very correct. How astute of you. Sound like a guy from the Jesse Ventura, the conspiracy theory. Which one? There's a guy who says that. Oh, yeah? Jesse Ventura. He tells it to Judas Sopang, the black girl. The black girl. Yeah. It is one particular informant that Jesse has that he was on, occasionally he's on his show. How astute of you for saying that. Yeah, but is he saying it's like I did in sarcasm? Well, I'm usually on the money. This argument that they use constantly should be well known by everybody. I don't have to accept minimum wage, my boy, because I'm spotted in you and I have a better job than you because of that. And because I am not a reason. Because he feels he's better. He's better, smarter, harder working. So he has all these advantages over unfortunate people, underprivileged or whatever you want to call them poor. So therefore if he has a business, of course he made his money honestly without screwing anybody over, I'm being sarcastic. And if you don't know, then you should not vote on this question. By the way, this question is on the ballot. Minimum wage? Yeah. Believe it or not. How many questions are on New Jersey ballot? Three. I didn't get mine yet, but I will read. Even though they use a microscopic font, I will read them. Well you can get it by a day where they're pretty explanatory in the introduction to each one. Okay. The one sentence that leads into them. So if you read them, you should be okay. So what I'll do is I'll just write down on the outside of the ballot the question number and whether it's yay or nay. For me, of course. And I will joyfully join you at the ballot box and cast my vote for the constitutional amendment to trigger automatic cost of living increases to minimum wage. That's the... Oh, that's cool. That's the one. I was going to knock him out if I saw him at the ballot box. No, no. All right. All right. Actually, the minimum wage is long overdue for a humongous retro raise. Humongous. Retro raise to cost of living increases. Humongous. This 11 dollars... It's never kept up. This 11 dollars in change an hour still does not keep up with the high cost of living. It's probably somewhere, I don't know, so many figures bandied around, but I would figure it's probably somewhere near $30 that you would need to bring it up to be fair. To be fair. Equal to the high cost of living. After all these years. Yeah. I mean, come on. You have rents out there, one bedroom apartment for over $1,000 a month, $1,200, $1,500. Come on. Give me a break. Well, you see, that's what happened. Prices went up, but wages didn't over those 30-some years. Wages have been stagnant since the 70s. And now in the old days, the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, the 60s, and part of the 70s, when profits went up, wages went up. That's how the economy worked. Until the 80s. And who was our president in the 80s? Saint who? Saint Ronald Reagan. Thank you. Well, well, I don't recall. Well, I noticed one thing about the middle class suckers who call themselves teabaggers, you know, who vote Republican or conservative. I know a few. They're not financially independent at all, but for some reason who knows they're conservative. The one thing they have in common is they all feel everything that's American is the best in the world, and you can't ever say that somebody else does anything better than the United States. And they're always coming to the defense of everything that happens in the U.S. of A. Like I mentioned, I mentioned the fact that the minimum wage in Australia is much higher than the United States. So this gentleman that I know, Ken Thieson, automatically says, no, but the rents in Australia are like astronomically higher than the U.S. Like I don't think so. You mentioned $5,000 for a month for us. Well, try living in New York City. Yeah, for a little rat hole, a studio was not a studio anymore in Manhattan. It's half that. Get out of there, Smokey. Get him out of there. Get out of there. Leave. Leave. You're feral bastard. It's just a... Touch somebody else's food. This cat I call Mini the Moocher because he eats all the other cats' food. Because he's a Moocher. Yeah, he likes to eat all the other cats' food and he's selfish. He's gluttonous. He's probably a... He opened his food up. It's the same damn food, you know? He's probably a Republican cat is what I'm trying to say. Figuring all the figures up and et cetera, et cetera. The richest country on the planet is Norway. And it also has the highest tax structure. Yeah, but the people with higher income pay the tax burden, right? Of course. But everybody pays tax. But that's a fair taxation. And they have health insurance and they have this and they have a great welfare system. And so does Canada and Europe and Australia. They got the national health care. But in America, I mean, our welfare system is set up for the big corporations. The welfare system, the people who really get help from welfare are the rich. In subsidies and bailouts. So the poor just get a few crumbs like my grandfather used to say. They don't really get help from any of these government programs. They get like a pat on the back and a few crumbs. And the taxes on the rich are supposedly 30, I think it's 39.6 now. But none of them pay that. Yeah. Okay? They have tax attorneys. So they don't pay taxes. That's great. They've been on a tax vacation for the past 30 years. Getting back to apartments, a rat hole half the size of a studio in Manhattan is like $2,500 a month, maybe even higher. I mean, why? Because New York is a tourist trap. It's the Big Apple. I mean, look at, with the job market being the way it is, how on earth could Americans afford the rents? And if you have a house, how can you afford the property taxes with the mortgage? There's no jobs out there. But oh, tea baggers still say there's plenty of jobs out there. Well, then again, we get back to the same old, same old deference to the capitalistic system. Why is it that we have to depend on some stupid private corporation to grant us our survival? No, we should have certain human rights in this country. And some of those rights are health care, good health care, and good education. Those are originally supposed to be rights. What about the right to live, I say, without going to some corporation and begging for a job so that you can survive? Why is it that the corporation does not come to you and beg you to work for it? Yeah, they scold those, like, headhunters. They go out and they only hire professionals that way. You mean contract employees? I don't know. I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the corporation. Yeah. Why is it that it never seeks you out? Corporation. You have to go. If Walmart moves into it down, oh, boy, it's going to provide jobs for everybody. Oh, big deal. So then the people move there to get the job at Walmart. Listen to me. Why is it that a corporation doesn't move where the jobs are? I have to use the chalet in this case. I have to use calming down. Even if you are fortunate enough to find one of these all-American apple pie jobs, let's say, crap job like retail in Walmart or fast food job, even if you find it and they hire you full time, which is not 40 hours anymore. No, because they don't want to pay you. You still can't live on the salary they give you, Dr. Bill. But that's my thing. You're not supposed to. The setup is wrong. The setup is not in favor of the worker. So the Walmart employee has to turn around and apply for social services. People on social security have to become Walmart greeters to survive. Yeah. That goes back to what we were saying about a happy retirement in the golden years. Ain't none. It doesn't exist anymore. It doesn't exist anymore. All right, continue. That's it. All right, now the second letter is medium, long, short. There is no second letter. That's it. I have to find one here. All right, there's no problem. It's no big deal. No, I got one here and then that's it. And that's it. That's it. Where is the outrage? The government of the United States may shut down next week. That's a good letter. And Republicans in the House of Representatives will be responsible. Sadly, however, it is we the people who will suffer. National parks will be closed. Passport applications will be put on hold. Thousands of government workers will be furloughed. Military veterans could also see delays in the processing of their benefits. They already had delays of years. I saw the backlog of veterans' benefit applications. Boxes and boxes of them, which nobody knows is there. Poor veterans. They should have died on the battlefield, correct? The poor veterans that gave up their lives or limbs. Brains. For the acquisition of some greedy old rich politicians and oil companies. It's really a shame. And then the ones that did come back alive are living in tents in the woods. It is absolutely despicable. And now they want to take away the food stamps from these veterans and their families and take food out of their children's mouths of these veterans. And they dare to do it in the name of God. And they do it holding a cross wrapped in the American flag. These are hypocrites of the worst kind. They are evil. This is an evil entity. And these morons in America that like to bust my balls on Facebook about it, they don't realize what they're saying. They don't realize who they're voting for. They're voting a vote for a conservative as a vote for Satan. Revelation 12-9. The whole world is deceived. Absolutely. I put that up there on Facebook last night in reference to something. All this is due to the fact that Republicans refuse to pay for the Affordable Care Act which was passed by Congress and upheld by the United States Supreme Court. This is akin to the spoiled brat taking his ball home if the game isn't going his way. That's how they are. I'm taking my marbles and going home. Somebody took my toy. I'm going to take the tantrum now. That's how Republicans are. Heaven forbid they should repeal automatic pay raises on congressmen and senators. Heaven forbid they should repeal that, which they should. Your editorial calls this one of the most irresponsible votes in recent memory by extremists in the Republican Party with little regard for the consequences of their actions. I am sorry to say it is also American voters who should be held accountable. Until we vote for politicians who are willing to compromise for the good of the country, we will get government that we deserve. Actually, maybe we should stop voting for politicians. Career politicians. Let's vote for a couple of cab drivers. Career politicians are representing the two-party system which represents money being in politics. And that's corruption. Once you take money out of politics and if Joe Paluca is brilliant and honest and Joe Paluca can get his name on the ballot, then Joe Paluca should not have to need millions of dollars to run for office. Then money won't be involved in politics. Congress and the public must understand that compromise comes from the majority and not the minority. We have seen the power struggles in the Senate and the House where both groups say my party is bigger than yours. So do it my way only. America has always compromised in ideology and concept for the good of the country. Today's Democrats want to have an unlimited debt ceiling because they like to spend money for their preferences. The Republicans want to address the wasteful spending that gets reported every year by the Congressional Budget Office and various media outlets. Gee, I wonder if it was stopping that spending when they created the
