California Pizza Huts lay off all delivery drivers ahead of minimum wage increase
Fast-food workers in the state are set to get a pay bump of close to 30% in April as the minimum wages rises from $16 to $20 an hour.finance.yahoo.com
I imagine they both already have an automation plan ready to go to eliminate jobs.Are there people that actually believe the result of increased minimum wage will be companies eating the losses?
"Under the bill, most of California's fast-food workers will be paid at least $20 per hour next year. And a separate bill will increase healthcare workers' salaries to at least $25 per hour over the next 10 years.
Chains such as Chipotle and McDonald's said they planned to raise menu prices as a way to offset the costs of higher wages in California.
The law affects 557,000 fast-food workers at 30,000 restaurants in California."
Obamacare and medicare....socialized healthcareHow has socialism bankrupted us when we’re not socialist?
So you mean the welfare state. Yes, screw the poor; let them starve or die from untreated disease. We can get rid of libraries and public roads and parks while we’re at it.Obamacare and medicare....socialized healthcare
social security....socialized retirement
food stamps...socialized food program
housing...public education....minimun wage....
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The United States spends approximately $2.3 trillion on federal and state social programs include cash assistance, health insurance, food assistance, housing subsidies, energy and utilities subsidies, and education and childcare assistance. Similar benefits are sometimes provided by the private sector either through policy mandates or on a voluntary basis. Employer sponsored health insurance is an example of this."
It's not captialism that spends a country 34 trillion into debt with nothing to show for it. Dems have the US taxpayers in the biggest debt trap in the history of the world paying about a trillion dollars each year (and growing) just to pay the interest stealing ungodly amount of wealth away from the taxpayers,
Not all gov't spending (building roads) is socialism. True compassion is getting everyone a job so they can take care of themselves not by filling up welfare rolls.So you mean the welfare state.

You got the roads part right. I agree that gainful employment is the ideal, and we should push harder for that instead of handouts. But a lot of folks who can’t hold jobs still have bills to pay.Not all gov't spending (building roads) is socialism.

why can't people hold jobs and should taxpayers be penalized for their inability to hold down a job?and we should push harder for that instead of handouts. But a lot of folks who can’t hold jobs still have bills to pay.
It's been the Dems plan for decades to entrap as many people on gov't welfare to buy their votes..and it's worked

people save their own money for their retirement and can buy disability insurance to protect if they become infirmed. Study after study has shown people are better off saving for their own retirement.Age and infirmity are two reasons. There are others.
actually government funded roads are socialism. just because they are a net positive doesn't mean its not socialism. Except for issuing permits/licenses I am not really sure what any government does that isn't socialism.Not all gov't spending (building roads) is socialism.

Is it a bigger kindness to try and lessen the disease, or to try and lessen the chance of getting the disease?So you mean the welfare state. Yes, screw the poor; let them starve or die from untreated disease. We can get rid of libraries and public roads and parks while we’re at it.
33% of our population receive some for of welfare. we are far far beyond the "others".Age and infirmity are two reasons. There are others.

I would disagree. Building roads is a basic function of government. All those who drive on the roads pay taxes/fees for the building and maintanence of those roads. Roads do not take wealth away from one who does not benefit and give to another that does benefit...roads benefit all who pay the taxes. Even though users pay taxes to build the roads all use, each user must buy their own vehicle. Socialism is taxing one person's money away so another person can have a vehicle for nothing.actually government funded roads are socialism. just because they are a net positive doesn't mean its not socialism.

Until post WW2 there were very very few public roads or means of transportation, rail or water. and the few that were were tolls that paid off the work. you can thank Eisenhower for that particular bit of socialism growing into the monster it is today.
