The FACTS of COVID are that it is an East Coast problem in Democrat strongholds

Great, show me where I personally called someone a liar but better yet show me where it is federal gov't responsibility to set minimum wages and to pay teachers with federal tax dollars. Yes the Federal Govt has the authority to set the minimum wage but that is no longer necessary as the cities and state can do that and have all over the country as 29 states have their own minimum wage and some cities as well have their own. Big gov't liberals like you don't understand that reality

What are you talking about???
I didn't say YOU called anybody a liar , Maybe you should learn to read.
and as for the teacher thing read my last post
Have a nice afternoon

OH so you know ALL about how the education system works all over the country.
I don't think so
in some states like NC it is run by the county in other states it is run by local school districts , where the tax payer has to go vote on the School budget every year. If the budget isn't passed by the tax payer they have to go back and redo it until it gets passed
and in the area I live in pretty much each town has their own school district and they set the pay scale for teachers and I have seen many times over the years if a teacher doesn't perform up to the standards set by the school district they won't have a job for long.
A lot of times it depends on the teacher and their record and if they slip they are talked to and told to up their game and get back on track or they are gone
Maybe your school districts should try it and maybe they can raise their standards and their rating
Have a nice day

Obviously I know more about it than you, teachers are funded by property taxes and those property taxes are created by the local community and county leaders. Taxpayers elect the school board and approve their budgets but you and the radical left obviously believe a federal bureaucrat who doesn't pay the state and local taxes is better prepared to fund schools. Wow, this defines liberalism and why you have zero credibility

How harsh are the penalties you envision for refusing to take the vaccination?

I like what Israel has done. There are no penalties for not getting vaccinated, but admittance to certain businesses are restricted to those who are.
No fines
No jail time
Just restrictions

OK You originally called for harsh penalties. Did you misspeak?

 

[minnie616]

.....

You are stunningly young and ignorant of the freedoms you have and the responsibilities that go with it

...

Sorry if the truth hurts, being young and ignorant seems to be a trait of far too many as you show with the minimum wage debate, the covid19 response and who has that authority

Name calling and insults speak not to the character of the target, but rather the attacker.

 

[Ethel2]

I think that the activity restrictions will be sufficiently cumbersome.
No one should be forced to accept a vaccination.
But that choice should come with consequences:

No entry into indoor public areas such as supermarkets, restaurants, theaters etc
No entry to planes, buses, Uber etc
No public schools for your kids
Your business may decide you can’t work there any more
Etc

But no jail time and no fines

So you advocate that every single business, grocery stores .... be required to hire security guards specifically to check people's vaccination record? How about if they are wearing a mask like they are today?

I see you don't know as much as you think you do,
at least not about the school taxes around here and how they are levied
we have school taxes . our schools are not funded by property taxes.
yes these taxes were created by the community leaders
each town around here has it's own school district and sets it own school tax rate every year , it all goes by the budget , if it gets passed
Then they figure out a ratio on property values
and who the heck brought up the Federal Gov, funding anything
Yes the state does get money from the Fed. and that is dived up by school districts the larger districts get more seeing they have more students to teach
and when it comes to CREDIBILITY you should take a close look at yourself
Have a nice night

You must be so proud, how long are you going to continue to buy liberal rhetoric and ignore liberal results? this is the problem with the left, they never hold their own responsible and always blame someone else, you are good at doing just that.

Says you, but that is not the way it works. States manage the state minimum wage, but if the Federal minimum wage is higher, then under the FSLA, workers covered by it are paid the higher of the two. There are a handful of states that do not have a state minimum wage, so in those states employers are required to pay eligible employees the Federal minimum. In the states with minimum wages below the Federal wage, eligible employees have to be paid the Federal wage. Big civics knowledge boasters like you don't understand the law as it stands.

YOU should be sorry for thinking you know everything about other states school systems and how they tax for funding their school system

What makes the federal decision better than the state? I understand the law, you do not understand control and power. So much for states rights

Post where funding schools is in the Constitution thus Federal responsibility

Your ignorance of funding is staggering

Masks are less effective than vaccination. The best vaccines now are about 95% effective.
Like I said, I prefer the approach Israel is using. NO ADMITTANCE means NO ADMITTANCE. To enforce this there will need to be a security guard at the door. Its a small price to pay for the safety of both the customers and the staff indoors.
Remember: you have a choice!

It may come as a surprise to you, but YOUR interpretation of civics and taxes is not the ONLY acceptable one. You are no more knowledgeable than the rest of us here. Most everyone here pays attention.

That the law was passed suggests having the federal government take the lead was the way to go. The fact there's been no massive effort to undo it suggests this is less of an issue than you think.

I understand the law, you do not understand control and power. So much for states rights

Then write your congressperson about it. Make sure to include a sticker of the Gadsden flag when you do so they know you mean business.

Silly things those federal laws. If you disagree why not take the US Government to court all the way to SCOTUS and see what happens? It's amazing that you're arguing for a minimum wage BELOW $7.25 an hour. I've never heard anyone suggest that before. What do you think the absolute minimum wage should be for anyone working in the US?

I think you misunderstood his post. He said nothing about Federal funding for schools. You did. He said that in NY the way people are taxed to pay for schools is different than in Texas and I'm pretty sure that there are many states who collect taxes for schools other than property taxes. You made the blanket statement that ALL states use property taxes to fund schools.

 

[Tbird19482]

What are you talking about??????
funding for schools? what funding?
Everybody knows funding for schools comes from either Property taxes or dedicated School taxes
Again who said it had anything to do with the CONSTITUTION?

It would be pleasant when you demand that someone do you a favor and post something that you at least say please? Is courtesy a freedom you prefer to not employ? It's an interesting insight into who you are.

That was in the 40's not now, 29 states have set their own minimum no need for federal actions

Big government liberals like you know better than the states
