Thank this man for the minimum wage

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Meeker

“It is much better to enact a minimum-wage law even if it deprives these unfortunates of work… better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent the multiplication of the breed than subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind.” Meeker

^Well it may not be PC, but he's not wrong.

Also, economics is a soft science, a social science, with minimal empirical integrity. There is no consensus among economists whether a minimum wage uniformly increases unemployment because of the labor supply-demand curve. Using that reasoning is like an undergrad physics student doing physics problems with perfect sphere or cube shaped objects with no friction and no air resistance. It's a very bad representation of the complexities of reality... like most models in economics. It's probably the only "science" where whether you are liberal or conservative impacts your "belief" in certain facets of the subject matter. That's not science.

This is an interesting argument. I find it queer to suggest that the minimum wage prevents the miltiplication of the breed by in subsidy thereof, unless one wrongfully equates the abatement of symptoms with cure of the disease or if s/he embraces the false hope that an altered environment will necessarily alter the nature of the breed. Trust not to hope, the breed will flourish and bankrupt the state.

Not my argument, Meekers original intent of the minimum wage. Since then, the progressive left have utilized the breed to multiply loyal voters. I guess they evolved on the issue since they have discovered a benefit for their existence.

Royal Meeker was a beast hes too right for this country.

There are no more great minds in America because we are all poisoned as infants by very heavy metals and a heavy brain inflaming vaccination schedule as soon as we are born. It is a scientific fact that brain inflammation is not a really normal thing as an adolescent or child, but inflaming an infants brain (proven fact from hardcore vaccination schedule) is somehow ok? "The rewards outweigh the risks".

But what if you made up said risks? Bam!

neurodevelopmental disorders in middle-class to upper-class families at a breakneck rate the past 40 years only further cements my belief. God bless Royal Meeker.

Italian and Irish immigrants mostly consisted of layabouts who derived no pleasure from actual work.

Unionizing was the only rational step for these two do-nothing ethnic groups.

Note the lack of Anglo-Saxon unions and mobsters. What these other mass migrant ethnic groups had in common was that they are natural born layabouts, hence getting in bed together in mob unions and fighting for layabout rights.

When the Anglo-Saxon workers and bosses disagreed, it went on to turn out that these 2 layabout groups were barbarous enough to get violent about their right to lay around. Hence said broken legs and beatings.

No Irish need apply
Unions offered jobs I guess, while Irish were turned away in most cases due to racism (Not even considered white). Obviously not all Irish joined unions, but a big factor of it being they that did were driven to it as the only opportunity to work. Interesting some people still hold the sentiment (most likely just trolling), considering the deep history of the Irish contributing to the rise of America becoming the innovative superpower in the modern world.

And not just from the point of a mass immigration, but even from the Constitutional Convention in which Irish participated in the founding of our nation, that being half of the foreign born delegates were from Ireland.

That was irritating looking for a decent vid that didn't run long, they were all gangs of ny clips 1 minute in after an Irish jig intro heh. Nuhistory.

Speaking of NY, TRUMP in a landslide!
From the polling, I liked the "Which ONE of these four candidate qualities mattered most in deciding how you voted today?" under the "Tells it like it is" part. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...n/primaries/NY
Donald got 91%
Kasich 9%
Lyin' Ted 1%

Note: 101%... that 1% must have been a pity vote added in by the electorate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
