Because it isn't a smart approach.

@MrGrass97 , Kyle has essentially no understanding of economics.
1
@a_can_of_soda , actually if you understood economics you would be more moderate.
1
@kyle9401 , Bernie is a radical no matter where he is.
1
@MrGrass97 , I actually provide a lot of evidence here. You just refuse to read it. In fact, in another comment section I provided two studies.

That is the problem with polls. They are vague questions on complex issues being asked to people who don't understand them. When more information is given people's minds change.. The same will be with healthcare.
1
@Robert Gomez , so it taxes are used buy people hookers to "help them" would you support that? Your idea of government is very vague.
1
@Robert Gomez , they aren't now, but they could in the future. That is the point. You need a stronger standard than just "help people".
1
Again with this all or nothing mentality. Keep pushing this Kyle, you are going to lose.

@lastguyminn2324 , the ACA was not middle ground as no republican voted for it. The ACA was just more government involvement which is the problem to begin with.
1
@lastguyminn2324 , no Republican voted for it because they did not agree with it. You guys point to the individual mandate claiming it was a "right wing idea" when the ACA isn't. One portion of a large bill does not make it right wing. Mitt Romney was dealing with a left wing legislature in his state. Also, Obama never once consulted Romney when designing the ACA. So no, the ACA was not a right wing idea. You are grasping for straws there. That is like saying No Child Left Behind was a left wing idea because it kept the Department of Education.

Uh, the majority does not want that.

@rynegreen7902 , the min. wage leads to higher prices and higher unemployment for the low skilled who are typically poll.
1
@Boutneus12 , because people don't support those radicals.
1
@flaviusaetius5701 , it isn't that easy. Businesses simply can't afford higher wages.
1
@jojoboko6990 , when you include PPP the Australian min. wage is not that high. Plus, there is more to the economy than just the min. wage. For example, Australia, arguably, has more economic freedom. But way to take a complex economy and reduce it down to just the min. wage.
1
@jojoboko6990 , also, I said higher unemployment for low skilled workers. We have seen this as when the min. wage was introduced black teen unemployment went up. And in states with higher min. wages usually have higher teenage unemployment and a study showed that a higher min. wage led to lower job opportunities for those without a college education. You said "higher employment in Australia" when I pointed to a specific target group, the group most effected by the min. wage the most.
1
@jojoboko6990 1. And I am saying that the cost of living in Australia is high as is. So what's your point? 2. Yes, I mean the poor. The fact is the min. wage harms those who are supposed to help. 3. Economic freedom means less restrictions so they can overcome high costs in other areas. 4. Yes, the min. wage leads to higher prices and higher uenmployment for those who are low skilled. I agree it is complex, but in looking at low skilled workers you are looking at a target group. There is a correlation between high teen unemployment and higher min. wage in the states. Walter Williams, Prof. of George Mason, has stated in the past that the min. wage increased black teen unemployment when it was established. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-BGi4NIFww Many studies who say employment is not harmed typically look at overall employment and not target groups. Now there are other factors involved but with a very few rare exceptions I see no benefits in raising the min. wage.

@laserramon9926 , uh, not really. But whatever makes you feel good. I feel I gave a strong counter argument and cited an economist.
1
@carldean3159 , define "living wage". You claim you understand "basic economics" but then use a very subjective phrase like "living wage". Also, if increasing spending power leads to economic growth, why not $1000/hr?
1
@carldean3159 , ok, what is that minimum requirement? A 2 bedroom home or a studio with 3 roommates? And what do you mean "survive"? These people are alive.
1
@laserramon9926 , Limbaugh won't debate you because you are irrelevant just like Kyle is irrelevant to Ann.
1
@MisterTrotts , velocity of money? Really? You are going to pull that? Also, if the poor spend their money that quickly and that much than they are poor for a reason, they are bad at money management. Also, Christina Romer did the math. If you go to a $9.50/hr min. wage and assume that all the money goes from the top to the bottom it will grow the economy, at best, 0.02%. I think you need to learn economics.

Kyle is an idiot when it comes to healthcare.
1
@ded4lyfe1 , a "moral agreement"? How far are you willing to take that? Should we allow homeless people to live in your home because it is "moral"?
1
@MrGrass97 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4326121/ You can also read that. Defining healthcare as a right is nearly impossible.
1
@ravenhopkins347 , it won't save money.
1
@ravenhopkins347 , that isn't what that study said. I suggest you read it again. And that UMass study was not more reliable. It had vague conclusions and made way too many assumptions to be taken seriously.
1
@MrGrass97 , saying it is a "right" in the US means you are entitled to it just like you are entitled to a trial by jury. If someone refuses to do jury duty they go to jail. These words have meanings and that is important. Bernie and Kyle saying it is a right is them using emotions as they cannot argue the issue.
1
@MrGrass97 , Medicare for all proposals expands the payroll tax meaning that businesses will have to pay more. Also, I support removing the employee based healthcare situation. I feel that will solve a vast majority of our problems. To do that we need to eliminate the payroll tax which will establish a free market in healthcare.
1
@MrGrass97 , employee based healthcare insurance is not the free market when it happened because of a tax.
1
@MrGrass97 , I never said taxation was theft.
1
@ProperlyGaming , rights are things that government cannot take away without due process. Learn the law.
