the minimum wage is 0 dollars. If your labor is worth less than 7.25 an hour, no one will hire you.

@ComradeRagdoll You must now know history very well. Communism and socialism are responsible for mass starvation. When all the smart people leave, everything falls apart.

taxing the rich at 70-90%?? are you out of your mind. Maybe for a very short period of time, but anyone knows the rich would just stop working at that point. Look up the laffer curve, as taxes go up, people stop working.

@ShinyNix86 Unions destroy industries. If my starbucks unionizes, i will just go next door to the non-union place or make it at home. The owners will lose their shirt on the investment and fire everyone.

@MrMarinus18 unions do help to keep wages up in other countries because labor is too expensive here, companies just ship jobs overseas and lay off everyone here. Good point.

@MrMarinus18 believe me, when things go bad here, and they will, I am am going to leave and let everyone starve here.

Look up the laffer curve, After like 50% taxes, people stop working. Tax revenue goes down, social services get cut. People move out of cities or stave. They tried to confiscate land in russia in the communist revoluion. The farmers burned their tools and moved away and 10s of millions starved as a result.

@Attaxalotl They have tried taxing the rich over and over. They just stop working. If I was a millionaire, i would stop working too. Look up the laffer curve. As taxes go up, peoples output goes down. There is no incentive to work, only risk. This is why our govt is going into debt at a rate of 5 billion a day. You could tax the wealthy at 100% and it would't come close to paying for our social welfare state.
