This should be a law

The CEO of Disney isn't paid an hourly wage!

And that $27/hr figure is the average hourly wage for all workers including salaried workers. If you bothered to read the methodology, you'll see that BLS explains that figure includes salaried workers, extrapolated out to an hourly wage.

You don't know what you're talking about.

But Conservative states get far more funding than they contribute.

That's what makes them welfare states.

Here, you are redefining the term 'welfare'... All states receive money from the federal government... All states are technically welfare states...

What makes a state a welfare state is if it takes more from the Treasury than it contributes.

Nearly every single red states is a WELFARE STATE.

In fact, most red states literally use welfare from the welfare block grant to close the deficits caused by their tax cuts.

Not according to anyone's standard but the one you just made up on the spot.

Nearly every single red state uses welfare from the welfare block grant to pad their budgets.

In fact, that's why Conservatives changed welfare to block grants; so they could use those block grants to keep their tax rates artificially low.

You are going to actually try to compare a national GDB with the GDB of a single State???

BUT, but comparing "GDP GROWTH" is magickally different than comparing GDP, ya see?? The growth of something somehow magickally doesn't make reference to that same something...

Again, which is a trend that started during Obama's first term.

Also, that figure isn't the wage for hourly workers, it's the average hourly wage for all workers, extrapolated out hourly. So in that $27/hr figure includes the CEO of Disney.

Nice try with the cherry-picking. Unfortunately, you're not clever enough to pull it off.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no, it doesn't. CEO's are not paid hourly wages...

We don't complain about that.

Pointing out that most Conservative states are welfare states doesn't mean we're complaining that they're welfare states.

Why do you think it is?

Because there have been several threads on this forum about that very topic.
