Unskewed Polling [W:536]

[Dwight]

seems to me you are looking for a guaranteed income and job for life. You live in the wrong country

It seems that way to you because you are an idiot parroting crap you’ve been fed and lapped up, as you continually demonstrate.

I competed against Wal-Mart for decades and those that you apparently know aren't full time workers making minimum wage or if they are not for long. That is a lie

Uhmm you lost.

You said you were a CEO, which would be corporate competing against corporate which is different than a mom and pop store cometeing against Walmart. Or are you lying again? Eventually you slip up and the truth is finally known.

Were you a sport's star too? Hard to tell your lies apart.

 

[Bobcat]

Walmart goes into a place and drives other shops out of business and then raises their prices. Good to know you support corporatism which is destroying the U.S. Yet again, more proof conservatism is a threat to freedom.

Yes, they do. I do not shop Walmart because of their business strategy. I try to buy from local businesses-and many times pay more because of that. Do you feel the same way about GE that is making hazardous light bulbs in China that the govt has mandated that we must buy?

Why is Walmart always the target of liberals? Why not microsoft, Apple, GE, GM, Chrysler, Sears? Could it be selective outrage based on which companies support your kenyan messiah?

 

[Conservative]

You claim that others have said things, that they have not to make yourself look good. I said we are moving in the right direction. Housing prices were artificially high, they should not get that high again in the near future. If they do, that would indicate another bubble. Yes unemployment and debt matter. But unemployment is more important to me than debt.

No, we aren't moving in the right direction, "we" are printing money, "we" are creating debt, "we" are not solving the unemployment/under employment/discouraged worker problem, "we" are going to see a devalued dollar and high inflation, "we" are seeing 250 billion in debt service most of which is going overseas. And for those results you want to give Obama four more years??

 

[JRog]

That is what you want to believe, but no rich person ever affected my wages or my wealth creation. If a large portion of the country are suffering under a recession that ended in June 2009 when do you place the blame on the leadership and those people?

No rich person affected your wages? Really? Interesting. You need to tell everyone else how you managed to exist alone in an economic bubble while still having income and making purchases.

I blame recessions on people who are in positions that they are able to affect the economy. A teacher has little effect on an economy, whereas the CEO of a Wall*Street ferm exerts massive control over the economy.

 

[TheNextEra]

Rich people very much affected my wages. They used to pay me insane amounts of money compared to most to do things like pull a dead bush out of their flower beds or trim back a shrub or mow their yards or shovel their sidewalk in the snow. I loved them for it. I could average 10 times minimum wage working for them around their houses.

$75 dollars and hour? Your lies are just getting worse and worse.

 

[Conservative]

Were you a sport's star too? Hard to tell your lies apart.

The facts are Wal-Mart doesn't pay its employees minimum wage as I know well their compensation plan so it was you that is lying all because you don't understand the economy we have in this country. If someone makes minimum wage for any extended period of time they are overpaid at minimum wage IMO

Walmart is just one example and one everyone knows so that is why I use it. I even said corporatism is a threat from Walmart to SOFTWARE (which would be microsoft). It would help if you actually read things instead of just blindly responding.

It's funny that YOU choose to support corportism like the good little conservative you are.

 

[Bobcat]

Tha Arab Spring would have happened without Obama so please take your Muslimhood BS elsewhere. It's good to know, however, you support dictatorships. Proof that Conservatism is a threat to freedom.

No, just making a point that obama supported the wrong side, and now radical muslims control those countries. He made a serious foreign policy error and americans died because of it.

Unlike many here I learned personal responsibility and how to produce results. No rich person ever changed my work ethic, my dedication, commitment, and initiative. As a progressive, what happens when you run out of someone else's money to spend?

I support freedom and free enterprise. Walmart has been successful. But I understand that the liberal mantra is to punish success and reward failure. You want to live in a socialist dictatorship--that is quite obvious. If obama gets another term, you may get your wish.

LOL this is the part where you backpeddle on your lies. Tell us about you being a CEO again lol.

Sorry I know people who have worked there at min wage and some at part time. you know **** about Walmart's compensation plan.

 

[Flyersfan314]

Many of Walmart's employees are part time. The problem is with the general economy. Wages are generally too low.

 

[Fisher]

70 bucks an hour? really now?

I had an inside track on it and charged less than having to pay contractors to come out and I was super efficient. When it came to manual labor, I was the bee's knees. I don't do it anymore though and I couldn't have maintained the average 40 hours a week day in and day out. If a banker's wife is annoying him about the yard and the banker is working 50 hours a week, the banker will pony up some money to get her to shut her mouth with as little effort on his part as possible.

No you support corporatism and giving tax breaks to them. Walmart can afford to go into a place with LOW prices and then after eliminating all the competition RAISE those prices. You want to make the U.S. slaves to it. Conservatism is a threat that needs to be fought.

Romney supports corporatism and putting MORE people out of work by supporting the corpotations.

 

[Bobcat]

OK, lets raise the minimun wage to $50/hour, OK? Now what happens? Companies will either have to raise their prices in order to stay in business or they will have to lay off employees. How does either of those help the economy?

 

[Conservative]

Ah yes, many min wage jobs and part time jobs with no health benefits. Wow that is the American dream there I'll tell ya Con. It's clear you worship at the idol of corporatism.

You asked how the rich could keep another from being rich and that is how. You eliminate any competition and then hire tham at slave wages.

You make it clear that conservatism is a threat that needs to be fought everywhere it can.

Again, you have no concept of what you are talking about. What has happened to this country when we have so many just like you? I spent 35 years in the business world and can tell you that your ignorance about business is staggering. You take information out of context and in the minority and pass it off as fact and in the majority. I do feel sorry for people like you if this is what you truly believe

Why do you keep repeating lies? I never said any of that. Corporations employ millions of people and generally pay good wages and give good benefits. Yes, some CEOs make way too much, but that is the fault of the board of directors, not the fact that corporations exist.

Exactly which "corporate tax breaks" are you so pissed about? List them and then we can discuss your issues.

 

[Conservative]

Your opinion noted, what makes you an expert on what a private company should pay its employees? Do workers have any obligations or responsibility in the issue?

 

[Fisher]

$75 dollars and hour? Your lies are just getting worse and worse.

I charged by the job not the hour thank you. The faster I worked the more my per hour would have averaged. If I had taken twice as long, I would have averaged half as much but received no more or no less. Rich people have more important things to do with their time so they will pay you more to drop everything and go shovel their elderly mother's sidewalk etc. I don't care if you believe me or not.

You say you don't support corporatism, but at the end you say you do? Can you please make up your mind.

Corporations go in and drive all smaller businesses out, which puts people out of work with high debt. That is what you support and why conservatism is such a threat.

Well, as a rule of economics, I get my income from someone else's money. So do you.
