    You always claim I said stuff I never said. When I ask you to show it to me you never can and just use the old "RQAA" stunt.

    If I said it that should be easy to prove--just cite the post #.

MW kills jobs for young less educated people.
    Fascism is not welfare, but it is theft of wealth. Welfare is not conducted by the business owner, even if forced to pay people $15/hr. That employer's profit or loss determines whether it is viable to keep operating a business in that location. There's a reason restaurants (even McDonalds) are closing in those locations. The jobs there are gone. No one is getting paid anything.

    If government takes (steals) money from someone and gives it to someone else, that's welfare. Examples include SS, Medicare and Medicaid, Covid payments, payments to foreign countries for their welfare systems, agricultural subsidies, wind and solar farm subsidies, etc.

    Along the way, of course, the government collects a nice fat percentage of it to pay for all their bureaucrats and kickbacks.

    Welfare is communism. Fascism isn't communism, but it's on the road to communism. Both are forms of socialism. Both are theft of wealth. A better way to look at the minimum wage law, forcing companies to pay more than market price, is as a form of slavery, not welfare. Slavery of the business owner.

    As usual, I am not going to search through your fucking posts and show you where you said what. Anyone that wants to can go back and do that for themselves.
    You want to deny it now. Fine. Deny it. As far as I'm concerned, you now feel that $15/hr does not replace welfare. Fine. With that I agree.

    Great. Don't make claims you cannot support: posts by others, election fraud, etc.

    15 would make workers more responsible for their own lives. They would cut way back on government help and food stamps. It would increase the demand and create more jobs. It would end the soul-sucking jobs that eat at a person. It should be done as soon as possible.
