Who makes up the minimum wage workforce in TX or do you care? I prefer someone with a job on their resume vs. sitting on their asses collecting over 2 years of unemployment. Shows initiative and drive. Job history was an important factor for me in hiring people.
WOW!!! look at the wording of this question.(would you rather live in a state governed by someone like Rick Perry who believes in personal responsibility and your ability to choose what is in your best interest or a state governed by Barack Obama who believes it is the government's role to decide what is in your best interest?)
Been taking lessons from Fox and Rasmussen on loading questions have ya?
It depends if i had children and wanted them to have a decent public school education or not($billions in cuts to education funding).
If i were willing to work for minimum wage(highest percentage of minimum-wage workers in the nation )Texas would be the state to be in.:2wave:
I have little doubt that you greatly prefer all the minimum wage positions that your state can offer. Thank you for confirming that.
Suggest you do some research and then put that chart into context. Thanks
The answer, before Obamacare, was (b), and I think that most Americans would say that's a better choice than (a). But it's hardly ideal.
This is what Conservative doesn't want to face. It isn't a choice between someone taking personal responsibility or suffering the consequences; it's a choice between someone taking personal responsibility OR THE REST OF US PAY THE CONSEQUENCES.
And, btw, it is this way because of Reagan's 1986 legislation that prohibited emergency rooms from turning away patients.
You're hoping that I can refute my own argument, because you obviously can't? :lol:
The truth is that, while unemployment has been falling in most states for the last two years, it has been rising in Texas.
If you have anything you would like to add please do. But I'm not going to make your argument for you.Who makes up the minimum wage workforce in TX or do you care?

Well isn't that nice.
Of course these min wage workers have the resources to just pack up and move to a higher wage state at a moments notice.

Thanks for confirming to all with an open mind how negative liberals always are as you and others always look for the negatives on every issue. In your case 550,000 people making minimum wage is a negative where as with a Conservative it is the fact that many of these are first time workers that actually have a job in the Obama economy and that 550,000 people are working and not drawing taxpayer funded unemployment.
In your case TX has a high number of uninsured which you post as negative whereas I post that quite a few of those are rich people who can afford paying their own healthcare and the poor people having many choices of taxpayer funded healthcare in TX.
In your case TX has rising unemployment with is negative but in mine TX is creating jobs and has a net job gain. TX population is growing so fast with people moving here it is hard to keep up with that population growth. Of the 117,000 private sector jobs created in July TX created almost 30,000 of them and continues to grow jobs.
In your case the TX education system is broken yet there are great colleges in TX drawing in state students and there are Fortune 500 companies moving to the state creating more jobs and tax revenue for the state.
In your case evil rich people are demonized and should be forced to redistribute their wealth, in my world rich people chosing how to spend their own money stimulates economic growth, charitable giving and that grows the economy creating jobs for people
Your cup remains half empty and proves just how miserable liberals are.
Just like a liberal, post a chart that they don't understand and ignore the charts that do. Employment in TX has grown. Percentage growth of the labor force is irrelevant comparison. TX is creating net jobs and Obama is losing them nationally. People are going to pay their higher taxes due to Obama and move more jobs to states without an income taxes further eroding the state revenues. Guess that is ok to a liberal who cares only about the liberal agenda.
Now that's funny ... you're citing a debunked article as evidence that Liberals have it backwards!http://www.fordham.edu/images/acade...ccuracy in the 2008 presidential election.pdf
Looks to me like liberals got their poll rankings reversed, Rasmussen was the best in the last election cycle.
What a ridiculous statement. If the state creates 1000 jobs and the population grows by 10,000, you have net negative employment, and that is what the graph shows. You have a habit of only looking at half of the equation.

Has it???:shock:Employment in TX has grown
Just like his bull**** claim that Rasmussen was the "number one" pollster in 2008. He says a lot of things which aren't true.Hhmm...Has it???:shock:

Over-the-Year Change in Unemployment Rates for States
Texas adds 732,800 jobs in 10 years; no other state tops 100,000 - The Business Journals
Texas added 732k jobs in the last 10 years and 251k last year.
Whether you think they are growing because of their jobs picture or not is opinion. The fact remains they are tops in job creation and tops in population growth. Is there a correlation between the two? Its possible. Its also possibly why the unemployment numbers in the state remain high while they create so many jobs, they have a lot of job seekers. Draw your own conclusions, but to say the state isnt doing some things right is folly.
Wonder how many the city of Detroit would like right now or the state of Michigan. 550,000 minimum wage workers in TX out of a 12 million labor force. What percentage is that haymarket and who makes up those 550,000? Just another example of something you know nothing about.

A double-digit lead. But Ryan and/or Christie and/or Palin and/or The Donald may jump in too. This is an exciting election cycle.
If this were true, all these new low-paying jobs should be dragging down the wages data, right? But if we look at the wages data since the beginning of the recession (click to enlarge, states are listed alphabetically)
And it turns out that the opposite is true. Since the recession started hourly wages in Texas have increased at a 6th fastest pace in the nation.

Let the idiots demonize TX, makes them feel good and after 2 1/2 years of Obama they need something to feel good about because the record is a disaster.
