1. Agreed.
2. True, but paying someone $15/hour to pick lettuce is going to be passed to consumers with higher prices. It's the reason I'm against a $15/hour minimum wage: all it's going to do is raise prices.
Better to enact Immigration Reform with work visas and beef up E-verify to ensure everyone who works in the US is legal to do so. That hasn't been effectively done because too many people, both Left and Right, are benefitting from this form of slavery - illegal immigrant workers.
3. An excellent question I'd like to see both of you answer.
Dutch: "2. True, but paying someone $15/hour to pick lettuce is going to be passed to consumers with higher prices. It's the reason I'm against a $15/hour minimum wage: all it's going to do is raise prices."
Jack: Yes. It will raise prices for the Consumer.
My Question to you: 'At which segment of the Economy will you oppose Third World Labor'.
Dutch: "3. An excellent question I'd like to see both of you answer."
Jack: Post #64 "In my view, unless the 'Left' can figure out how to bring the 'American Dream' back to the Working Class, we're going to face another demagogue like Trump in the Future.
(70 million people ... they all can't be 'White Supremacists', 'Jesus Freaks', and 'Billionaires')"
--->Post Game Analysis. Trump gets the Klan, the 700 Club, and the Business Roundtable. WHO are all the OTHER motherfuckers?
My Conclusion: The Working Class that don't see the American Dream is their Future.
*I think we had a discussion about this, and like others, you said 'They should get a better education'.
