Obama's reference to moochers
Obama said, “By telling hard-working middle-class families that the reason they are getting squeezed is because some moochers at the bottom of the income ladder, because of minorities and because of immigrants or because of employees or because of feminists, because of poor folks who aren’t willing to work, they have been able to promote policies and protect special interests and those at the very top of the economic pyramid. That’s just the truth. I hope you don’t mind me being blunt about this, but I have been listening to the stuff for a while. And I’m concerned when I watch the direction of our politics. We have been hearing this story for decades, tales about welfare queens, talking about the takers, talking about the 47 percent. It is the story that is broadcast every day on some cable news stations, on right wing radio. It is pumped into cars and bars and VFW halls all across America and right here in Elkhart. If you are hearing that story all the time, you start believing it. It is no wonder people think state government is the problem.”
I'm feeling just a bit tweaked right now.
My mother taught me that if I didn't have something nice to say, to not say anything. OK, I'll just grumble under my breath.

Where we are headed that will end.
In the USSR there was no welfare system. the govt told you what your job was and where to live.
your choices were do it or die.
They must have taken me seriously I mentioned if I saw my name as one of their members again I would next call an attorney. Given the social media exemption for claiming non existent members that may not work anymore.
When raised to high people get laid off when too low they look elsewhere to work.
When not enough workers available wage offers go up when too many they go down.
But the idea or glimmer of one is tying minimum wage to welfare payouts as a percentage in such as way as to make work more profitable and make welfare more temporary. - using supply and demand as should be
Now the start point is cost of living equals a living wage and begins at the bottom which of course is where the starter worker/employee begins. Living wage, family wage and retirement earning wages are the main bums strived for. Except the family now includes some unknowns against which no form of birth control can protect except physical surgery
Start point.
Minimum Wage = value of total welfare (not unemployment) times 1.5 plus unemployment, and unemployment medical, and taxes. Make it worth while to work.
Value of Total welfare equals Cost of Life that which it takes to exist and includes all forms including job retraining or relocation.
Cost of Life is that amount needed to exist and is also a Tax exemption under both income tax and end user consumption tax. The thought is government has no business taking what is needed to 'live.' Food, air, water, shelter, medical and education.
Under both types of taxes the Right To Live exemption is right up on top and 100% none of this fourty percent of trickery. Per Adult Per child and per older child in school to age 23. Same as now.
In the end user consumption tax system that single contribution paid at point of sale is automatically not charged one twelfth each month for any of the RTL listed items. Income tax system it's exempted automatically the reverse of with-holding.
The minimum wage slash maximum welfare total may be adjusted locally by the State or County. NYC obviously costs more than Podunk, Flyover. Let NYC pay that extra bill but the RTL exemption minimum would not change.
Run numbers through that in any direction one can come up with the answer to any of the missing parts. And yes i threw in some extras.
One point five? Who knows? It might be two point five? or point seven five. The rule is enough to encourage, almost force people to go back to work and get off welfare.
already moaning about how he's "really gonna
miss Air Force One"....Counting the days...
Woof! Woof!
By the way, I'm amused when elitists like Mrs. Clinton denigrate denizens of Home Depot or Wal-Mart. These are the very people, the mid-section of America that the candidates need in order to get elected, but whom they think are low-life, bible-thumping, gun-toting, slobbering defectives. If anyone would ask, I would pick any ten people at random in Wal-Mart over ten of the most feted politicians in Washington. And, I'd do better solving problems than the Washington Weasels.
I suggest that we are almost out numbered by moochers in And out of government...
Mickey & Minnie are the biggest moochers ever. Counting the days....
