[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3545499, member: 24302"] Yep, in order to get what he wanted he had to agree to spend a lot. But let's see how it goes with the economy. Things take time. You don't flip a switch and suddenly all the revenue is there to pay down the debt. You have to start by creating conditions that will increase government revenue. We've had this discussion before. You want to increase pay for everyone then don't just start within our borders but in your own backyard. If your employees are averaging $35k a year and you're doing $150k then give each of them more and you take less. I'm sure they'd all appreciate the extra $5k or so. Last time you said that it would cost you more than the $5k for each employee. So? Point is that liberals are always willing to spend other people's money but can be extremely tight fisted with their own. In the real world people get paid more when the work they do is highly valued. If people want more they need to prepare themselves better with the proper training. Just paying everyone a lot more to make things fairer ends up inflating the money because businesses have to charge more to be able to pay the extra. The only other way is for business owners to take considerably less and give the money to employees. That won't work because like yourself no one risks their money going into business to just get by. They want to do better. Everyone should settle for less, enjoy a nice little home and a modest little car. But no one is satisfied with that. Everyone wants the mansion on the hill, and is striving towards that. On the plus side it keeps the U.S. Dollar strong so that economic refugees such as myself can enjoy a better life elsewhere.
