Raise The Minimum Wage!

Dearest little Darla, you obviously cannot keep up... but I will give it one more try.

He called people in their 20's children. You stated 'people in their 20's can't be called children' (we shall ignore the absurdity of that comment of yours). I then stated that the ACA states that children can stay on their parents insurance until 26.

Do you see yet? I was showing you another example of people in their 20's being called children.

I know you got lost again at 'Dearest', but if you keep trying really hard, you might make it through all of the above. Then you can take it to your masters and learn what it is you are supposed to say in return. Or maybe Code Pink can give you something to chant, that way you won't feel so overwhelmed.

Right so anyway are you going to answer the question or are you still too scared to?


The following statement is T (for True) or F (for False) Superfreak:

"thats simply because the majority of people earning only minimum wage ARE children...."
 
It matters to me. "Most people making minimum wage are children" is a lie disseminated by the right wing. If it didn't matter, they wouldn't bother with that. It matters alright.

From http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2011.htm :

Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented only about one-fifth of hourly-paid workers, they made up about half of those paid the Federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers paid by the hour, about 23 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with about 3 percent of workers age 25 and over. (See table 1 and table 7.)

From http://www.healthcare.gov/law/features/choices/young-adult-coverage/index.html

What This Means for You

Before the health care law, insurance companies could remove enrolled children usually at age 19, sometimes older for full-time students. Now, most health plans that cover children must make coverage available to children up to age 26. By allowing children to stay on a parent's plan, the law makes it easier and more affordable for young adults to get health insurance coverage.

So tell us Darla, how are you not just playing semantics? He is correct. Over half the workers on minimum wage are under 25. Calling them children is not the outlandish 'lie' you want to make it out to be. You can see above even the government calls people up to 26 children.

Is it the definition of the word children that is confusing you?

LOL... your being too afraid to address your error does not mean I am afraid to answer the question above. Technically, everyone on minimum wage is a child of someone. So yes, they are all children. Your tiny little mind can't wrap around the fact that we do refer to young adults as children. You want to call it a lie, yet I have shown you multiple times that even your sainted Obama has called 26 year olds 'children'. THAT is the point that your tiny little mind can't grasp.

That is the point you are afraid to address.

No it's not confusing for me. We are all someone's child which is how you are using that word. I mean, a 90 yo is someone's child. When the right wing states that "the majority of people making minimum wage are children" they are not in any way trying to state that only 25% of people making minimum wage are under 20 years of age.

The ACA has nothing to do with it. I know that you think you are being very clever, but allowing parents to keep their children on their health care plans until they are 26 in no way changes the definition of adulthood. And adulthood has never been defined as 25 or 26 or over. You know this.

You are being dishonest again because you guys seriously believed that the majority of minimum wage earners are actually children. And you got caught disseminating false information and you are going to do anything you can to avoid admitting it.

This is nothing new SF. I am very used to it. I proved PMP wrong, both you and he know it, but you're dishonest and will never admit it. Do you think you're teaching me something here? I am fairly certain I called you a liar several weeks ago. There's a reason for that. You are one. :)

The important thing is your lies were debunked and so no one who doesn't know better read this thread, believed your lies, and spread them around someplace else.

Why would I be afraid to address the fact that everyone, including 90 year olds are someone's child?

You are claiming that with 3/4s of minimum wage earners being under the age of 20, a majority of minimum wage earners are children.

You wouldn't be able to sell that anywhere and that's why it's important that I post the facts. You can be as dishonest as you like in order to make yourself feel good. When people know that 3/4's of minimum wage earners are 20 years old or under, they will know that the majority of people earning minimum wage are not children. To me this is about debunking right wing propaganda, not getting dishonest hacks to admit they are lying or misrepresenting. You'll never do that. But I've debunked the myth nevertheless. :)
 
Dear Rune... did he or did he not state high school and college students?

If you weren't so ignorant, you would realize that I didn't defend his statistics. I simply corrected Darla who is once again lying about what someone said.

Dearest Simplefreak, had you been following Darla's comments, you would realise she was contesting this sentence;

thats simply because the majority of people earning only minimum wage ARE children....

not the one you quoted, which is where PiMP tried to move the goal post to cover his lie.

So, as I said in the first place, you are veering towards yurtdom.

Superfreak, you idiot! I now see you spent considerably more time "correcting" Darla.

Darla was absolutely correct, and you are now officially Yurt's standin, his apprentice, if you will.
 
Since 3/4's of people earning minimum wage are 20 or older, I have no idea what high school kids have to do with this.

thats because you haven't been paying attention......I am backing up my claim about the majority of minimum wage earners, and over half them are high school and college kids....that is what high school kids have to do with this.....
 
No it's not confusing for me. We are all someone's child which is how you are using that word. I mean, a 90 yo is someone's child. When the right wing states that "the majority of people making minimum wage are children" they are not in any way trying to state that only 25% of people making minimum wage are under 20 years of age.

Yes, the majority are very young adults. Why do you keep using 20 instead of 18? This is what is so funny, you are arbitrarily using an age, just as the government did when stating the majority are under 25. The majority ARE under 25 years of age Darla.

The ACA has nothing to do with it. I know that you think you are being very clever, but allowing parents to keep their children on their health care plans until they are 26 in no way changes the definition of adulthood. And adulthood has never been defined as 25 or 26 or over. You know this.

and stating 'children under 26' in no way changes it either. That is the point Darla, you are getting all enraged and fuming over his calling young adults 'children', yet when it is pointed out that the ACA does the exact same fucking thing, you say 'that has nothing to do with it'. You proclaim he is 'lying' (because lately that is all you do in your severe anger outbursts... well that and call people racists without cause) for doing exactly what the government and many others do as well.

Yes, 18 and up is an 'adult'... unless you want a beer, then it is 21. That doesn't change the fact that people, especially older people still look at those in their early 20's as 'kids'/'children'.

But do go on throwing your little tantrum. It is quite amusing watching you stomp and fume around the board like a lunatic.

You are being dishonest again because you guys seriously believed that the majority of minimum wage earners are actually children. And you got caught disseminating false information and you are going to do anything you can to avoid admitting it.

They are actually children Darla... I quoted and linked to the GOVERNMENT websites stating it. You are the only one avoiding the truth because once again you made yourself out to look foolish. You tried to play semantics with his choice of words, you got burned for it.

This is nothing new SF. I am very used to it. I proved PMP wrong, both you and he know it, but you're dishonest and will never admit it.

Once again dearest Darla, you are lying. You did not prove anyone wrong. I linked you directly to the government stats on it. So tell us again... where is your data coming from Darla?

Do you think you're teaching me something here? I am fairly certain I called you a liar several weeks ago. There's a reason for that. You are one. :)

No Darla, I don't think you are intelligent enough to be taught. Of late you are intent upon being intellectually dishonest. You throw your little tantrums and then run around screaming 'liar and racist' at those that prove you wrong.

The important thing is your lies were debunked and so no one who doesn't know better read this thread, believed your lies, and spread them around someplace else.

Anyone who actually reads the data Darla understands that it is you that is lying. Unless you have proof the government is lying about their stats?

true.....see the statistics you quoted....
 
So anyway, here is the bottom line for non-liars and people who are genuinely interested and aren't hacks.

3/4's of people earning minimum wage are over 20 years of age.

This is a fact and it is not in dispute.

The End. Thank you.

the majority of minimum wage earners are high school and college students who have not yet entered the workforce as a way to earn a living.....when not occupying Wall Street, sleeping or partying they spend their time away from class working in fast food joints.....
 
Superfreak, you idiot! I now see you spent considerably more time "correcting" Darla.

Darla was absolutely correct, and you are now officially Yurt's standin, his apprentice, if you will.

No, she is not correct moron. Go look at the links to the government stats. The majority (over 50%) are under the age of 25. So the majority is 16-24. The only thing she is ranting about is the use of the word 'children' for those who are 20-24. So I showed her that the ACA uses the same word for those 26 and under.

So tell us Dune... how is she correct? Or are you going to join in on Darla's lies?

Fact: over 50% of minimum wage earners are 16-24. A point the dimwit Darla cannot grasp.

:) Big grin.

As I said, simple fact, and it's not in dispute. The truth has a liberal bias baby and I am loving it!
