FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

or Fredo. That was a real side-splitter...

 

Or . . .or . . . .

They just wait for some other poor sucker businesses to boost wages so those workers can buy products.

 

My wife made pot roast tonight.

 

Yeah, they'll remember he took a drink of water. Meanwhile, Obama took us to four straight TRILLION dollar deficits. How dare Rubio sip water!

And Democratics bitch when we call their voters "low-information" voters. :

 

And as history has always proved, it's not the one you claim.

 

Argument for minimum wages.

Australia's is more than $15 an hour. It doesn't seem to have hurt employment opportunities.

Maybe the answer is a tiered approach with kids earning less than adults.

 

Any good ones like Rubio's?

 

Yeah, it wasn't taking a drink that was funny. It was the lunge to get it.

 

Fortunately, Woodall isn't my congressman. He believes if you can't afford health care you should die.

Maybe Az was perceiving above-it-all-ness in some of your posting. Anyhoo, don't stick me with anything regarding Henry Ford. I was speaking of the principle of the thing. Tho paying a wage that'll keep workers happy isn't a bad place to be coming from.

 

Or maybe he gets tired of having every one of his posts challenged, while mountains of spurious partisan bullshit go unremarked. Anyhoo:


The mythology around this story holds that Mr. Ford wanted to pay his workers enough so they could afford the products they were making.

In fact, that wasn't his original reasoning. But others made the point, and, in time, it became part of Mr. Ford's rationale as well. The idea became a linchpin in an industrial philosophy known as Fordism.

More production could lead to better wages, which in turn would lead to more spending by the public, yet more production and eventually even higher wages.

''One's own employees ought to be one's own best customers,'' Mr. Ford said years later. ''Paying high wages,'' he concluded, ''is behind the prosperity of this country.''
