Current Events > The problem: People currently working are making less than those on unemployment

(+) Yeah! (+)

The solution (according to Republican lawmakers): "I've got it! Let's remove benefits for those on unemployment so everyone is broke!"

Liberals: "Hey, all these people have a broken leg..."
Conservatives: "Hold my beer..." *breaks everyone's leg*

Yeah. Let's just keep creating money till the dollar loses its value and most people can't afford food. That'll work

Or maybe tax the people that have third-yacht money. Don't have to create money from thin air with this one.

Yes it's called the CERB here in Canada

Working aged adults playing at parks, beaches etc all day every day during work hours

Some of these people if they have big families get $10k+ a month ($2000 per person including college aged kids)

6 months of this

Enough is enough.

Its the same old shit, Republicans hate people being paid livable wages. Propose raising minimum and theyll say things like you think person working (job) should be paid as much as an EMT?!?!?! without pausing for a second and wondering why EMTs are only making that much

basically shut up die on the streets and pretend nothing before the 80s ever happened

---

I feel like there's some kind of medium between "more than you could possibly make as a wage slave" and "70% of minimum wage." Maybe even reward people who are working on a sliding scale...

Let's make the lower class poorer. That will solve everything!

You arent wrong but essential is code for disposble its some eugenics shit. Kill off the "unskilled labor" and medical professinals and force the useless buracrates into their positions while convincing them essential oils will heal you and bring back the company town system

Re-adopt the gold standard = problem solved.

Make anyone who has over a billion dollars surrender all their money to me.

These topics always end up with the same old back and forth arguments, when all that's needed is for the ultra rich to be taxed more(i.e. actually taxed something) and it would solve 99% of the problems.

But, fuck it, lets argue forever without actually getting anything done right?

seriously? you didn't get enough of a beating in your own flopic?

Somehow liberals got the idea that just because you have a job you should be entitled to a livable wage.

The dollar will never lose value as long as we believe it still has value. America can win!

You need to upgrade your gamefaqs name. To at least a 10.

Most people dont care about longterm consequences of something so long as they think their doing something morally right, or by hiding behind a feelz good narrative.

People living on minimum wage is a favorite it seems, even though almost nobody actually is......

No, liberals don't think you need the job. That might be fine except they also think we're in a post work world or rather would be if rich people weren't being mean, so we get an image of people not aspiring to much of anything with their lives, leaving those working having to do so much they end up killing themselves with work related burnout illnesses.

Im outdated, just like my political views. We dont need to be raising taxes on the rich, theyve earned their money. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!

Lol, what beating? The only person who made a real counter point was the guy who said we aren't (literally)printing money. Which while correct is just circumventing the point.

The rest were just morons asking me to post proof of inflation that hasn't happened yet.

if you ignore everyone who explained why i was wrong, you'll see i was completely right all along.
