We need more conservative outlooks and less socialist policies, they just don't work here in USA. No, they are not. They will be without healthcare or without basic services. Yes, just what we need! Let poor children starve! Let children and the most vulnerable in our society go without healthcare and clean drinking water...the most basic needs. Brilliant!

People were already out of healthcare with obamacare so it's not any different. And I don't see what healthcare has to do with starving, I know a girl that got on crack(and her baby addicted to crack, I'll link you the article from my state if you don't believe me) and she just got a job at Chick-fil-A. It's possible if people try, I'm not going to feel sorry for people who dont try and help their families. if that makes me a bitch then so be it There's nothing we can really do. our own politicians don't even listen como estas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But $11/h for example instead of $8/h in some States wouldnt hurt! I neither Support Socialism or Capitalism. I think a balanced moderation between the two is ideal I wanted to quote you because I agree 100% 😁 $11 is what people need to protest for. there'speople that don't even think there should be a federal minimum wage (a lot of my libertarian friends do) como estas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who didn't have state subsidies, in some states, were seeing increased rates. The states that were agreeing to help take care of their residents were having success and covering millions of people with affordable healthcare. People who don't try? What do you want a eight year old to do? Work at McDonalds or in a factory? FFS, this isn't a third world country! And yes, you said it. Of course there is something we can do, we live in a country with first amendment rights and protections. We can contact state representatives, protest, march, get involved and vote! They listen when they think they aren't going to get reelected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are States in which $11/h might be too much for them So im not saying Federally it should go that high (maybe $9/h to $10/h) but then individual States can raise it higher Here in Canada im not even sure if we have a Federal Minimum Wage as its never talked about. If there is one pretty much every Province has set it higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
