Its a fact? What do you mean? It's a fact that you stop at a red light and go at a green light too. That doesn't mean society didn't decide that was how we would do things.
Marxist? Awesome. From each to each?
Failing to protect property rights is unjust. Without justice there can be no civil society. Why bother funding such a government?
So Buffet wants the Buffet Rule for the same reason conservatives want a flat tax? Then you guys should be jumping all over it!Really, no idea what I'm talking about? I can't believe that. You know perfectly fine that if people that are right below him get taxed along with him it will hurt them more than it hurts him and thus it works to his advantage. Maybe if you thought about the argument put out by liberals on the flat tax it would of been obvious?

That is just absurd. You're being ridiculous. Teachers range between lower middle class and middle class. It's like you live on a different planet than I do... Do you not know any teachers or something?
Er what? Marxism? Failing to protect property rights? Where did you get that stuff from lol?
Property rights is crafted out of the natural order.
So you're telling me that, say for example, the rules that say that corporate boards need to have an audit committee and that that committee be made up of "outside" directors only, the rules about how those members get selected, what responsibilities and powers that committee has, and what qualifications they need to have, are somehow naturally occurring rules that existed somewhere on a stone tablet somewhere before society wrote them down? Um... That's crazy talk.
No, I think upper class Americans like you have no contact with the real America. The average American family have an income of 45K USD. If they got 100K USD in household income, they wouldn't know what to spend it on. I live on 10K, and I live better than many others down here. Costs here in Auckland are approximately the same as America, but wages are lower.
And right now I am talking about household income. Median personal income is 26K. But somehow, earning 90K, and 120K with compensation is not rich? Please get in touch with real America.
Did I mention that rule? Nope.
When the student/teacher ratios get toward 1:1 - hell, even a large family at 5:1 - then you let me know and we'll have something to talk about.Sorry but I disagree with this. There are plenty of home schooled children that do just as well, if not better than public school children scholastically speaking. And those parents don't have a teaching degree. Hell, I'm a better teacher than my sons first grade teacher. She just tried to get him to learn reading by rote instead of actually figuring out how to sound out the words. I know this because I spent a day with him in his class watching how he was doing and how the teacher was teaching.
Am I backing the Republican Party? No, I am not.Populist conservatism is just ridiculous. Get a clue. You're backing the party that is fighting tooth and nail to squeeze working class people for every penny, you're fighting against the right of working class people to negotiate more effectively for a better slice of the pie, you're complaining about teachers getting paid too much of all things... All so we can further enrich the super rich. And yet you have the audacity to come in here pretending to be a populist looking out for the little guy? Sorry, but it just doesn't pass the laugh test.
If you want to start with the ones influencing the government that's fine with me. That's not all of them by a long shot but at least it's a beginning!

You aren't really responding to my position. Whose proceeds they are is a decision we make as a society.
Let's see how much profit he makes from his property without some else's labor.Yes, that's how our legal system works. When a person buys something, they become the owner. Are you proposing a change to this?
Am I backing the Republican Party? No, I am not.
However, I do not like public unions much. Why? Because public union workers earn substantially more than non-union workers, and demanding more. Working class Americans will end up paying, because taxing rich Americans won't bring in much revenue.
So you are ignorant of Marx?
Nonsense. First, private schools oddly get public money (tax dollars) in some areas. And they are selective. This means they get skewed results because there are so many schools that do not take poor perfroming students. What is better with them is the student. They offer nothing different in methodology, and often do not have teachers who are in any way better. In fact, some are quite a bit worse, as noted by them lacking credentials. MAke the students the same, and the results will be the same, if not the public schools actually doing better.
You seem to have no knowledge or understanding of either public or private schools, or the problems faced in education. This is part of the problem. Too many who know nothing keep trying to force changes that will not help. Next time your car breaks down, take it to Hairstylist, as you promote knowing what you're doing doesn't matter.
Loved all of his films. You cannot do better than Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly in DUCK SOUP. Great stuff.

First, off. The aims of the research, and my aim wasn't the same. I was just interested in one thing. Who is richer? Right to work, or states who are not right to work. For doing that, my data is complete. RTW states are richer.
His research has the aim, does right to work benefit a state. I looked through his research, but his findings do not support his conclusion.
He is like many famous "experts", both on the left and the right, a fraud. That is how you become famous as a scientist in America.
In a recent Economic Policy Institute study, a pair of economists conducted a rigorous statistical analysis to measure the impact of right-to-work laws on wages and benefits (Gould and Shierholz 2011). As shown in Table 4, this analysis controlled for more than 40 different factors, including the age, race, ethnicity, gender, education, industry, occupation, urbanization, full-time status, and cost of living of workers in different states, compared with the National Institute for Labor Relations Research and Mackinac Center studies, which did not control for any factors. Thus, the EPI analysis comes as close as possible to holding “all other things equal” in measuring the impact of right-to-work laws. The authors reached the following conclusions:
Wages in right-to-work states are 3.2% lower than those in non-RTW states, after controlling for a full complement of individual demographic and socio-economic variables as well as state macroeconomic indicators. Using the average wage in non-RTW states as the base ($22.11), the average full-time, full-year worker in an RTW state makes about $1,500 less annually than a similar worker in a non-RTW state.
When a person sells something, the proceeds are his. He owned the item, and when he sells it he then owns the proceeds. That's how our legal system works.
So when a businessman sells the inventory that he owns, why would anyone but him be entitled to the proceeds?
Are you suggesting a change to the legal system in which one does not own the proceeds from items he sells?
that evasion is rotting in its grave.
