It appears a model does not exist for business that would pay everyone a good wage. Henry Ford was a freking idiot to pay his workers so much they could buy the cars they made, he got a lot of peer hate for that snafu of the 1%ers rule. <br />I think liberals will embrace your idea on ending entitlements. at least for those who have a job under your higher wage plan, but probably not if you cut off all support for those who are laid off in a slow down, plant closing, of due to age, etc.. The tricky part will be dealing with the bone idle. Cut them off? Do you let their kids starve and go to school barefoot? Humans will steal if the kids are starving, I would, you would I bet.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-19475913299717318022012-05-30T11:59:43.310-07:002012-05-30T11:59:43.310-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-39933512789282660182012-05-30T11:52:08.099-07:002012-05-30T11:52:08.099-07:00GeG;

I consider myself to be in the middle of the two party system. This subject is funny, because as an aspiring politician (Would would probably never even make it on a ballot) one of my ideas is to slowly get rid of welfare, but you would have to increase minimum wage. And I mean big increase. I'm putting together a few ideas and doing some research for the post. How do you think Conservatives will react? Liberals as well? I'll let you know when it's done. <br /><br /><br />To answer your exact question, I have voted Republican, and I would definitely raise minimum wage.
