WingNuts ripped a new one .......

[SPN]

I was watching THIS VIDEO on YouTube, and I began to think of the line from Pulp Fiction.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Here's hoping this is just the beginning of the Democrats dealing out the whup-ass in liberal doses! (pun intended!)

Go Teddy! 8)

Very hard hitting oratory!

The old liberal lion is still able to dish it out. The structure of the speech was good too - adroit use of repetition as a rhetorical device.

[ReformedSocialist]

Go back to the 80's and you'll see Ted was spewing the same
crap at Reagan back then..

I have no time for a man that leaves a young girl to drown while he ran off and took care of his own hide first.

Besides Liberal and whup-ass don't go together

Maybe you should replace "whup-ass" with ialogue, understanding, The UN and consensus

[ReformedSocialist]

"This President should spend more time preventing Nuclear War rather than preparing for it"

That was Teddy back in the mid 80's . On the wrong side of history then also.

He's not a patch on either of his brothers.

TK goes way overboard with his rhetoric, e.g. "do you have such disdain for hard working Americans... what is the price that the workers have to pay to get an increase? what is it about working men and women that you find so offensive?" He's not dealing with the real issue, i.e. that increasing the price of labour could lead to a decrease in demand.

Giving people more spending money will INCREASE demand.

You need to demonstrate that low-skilled labour is exempt in some way from the laws of supply and demand as these laws are conventionally understood. Unless you are joking?

If you increase the supply of cash into someone's pocket, you will increase the amount they can buy with it. Henry Ford demonstrated this economic principle nearly 100 years ago.

Do catch up!

[lothario]

The "demand" I mentioned is demand for labour.

[Ronanr]

Perhaps TK did not deal with the issue because it is generally agreed to be a red herring.

I do not think many mainstream economists in the US believe that an increase in the minimum wage of two dollars will have anything but a marginal impact in demand for labour.

At the moment, the insatiable demand for lower-skilled labour is so high in the US that the influx of Latin American immigrants coming to fill it is causing social instability in some states like Arizona and California.

Also remember, it is but a cost of living increase over the last decade really, when the minimum wage went up not at all.
