Wasting taxpayers money | $700 bucks to people in Maui who lost everything. Folks who paid taxes their whole lives. People on Medicare getting kicked out of the hospital.

You are so close to getting it, it’s not even funny.

What are your thoughts on raising the minimum wage?

Big business loves raising the minimum wage because it drives out small business who can’t absorb the additional costs and they just pass the costs along in the goods you buy and still get their margin. Lower Cost of living is more important but a balanced plan to deal with both would be best. Minimum raise increases alone won’t move the needle for the working classes.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

If you can’t afford to pay your workers, you’re not running a stable business.

Says people who probably never had a job. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Minimum wage increases sound good but solve nothing when the price increases are passed on through corporate monopolies owned by the same investment firms regardless of their retail name. Buying power has been eroded despite a 15.50/hr minimum wage in my state. You can’t buy any more than you could 5 years ago when it was 10.00/hr. Your communist slogan is just that another bs slogan that solves nothing.

You do realize that every single problem you brought up is the fault of capitalism, and not whatever far left ideology i espouse that is not shared by either of the two parties.

I realize that what I brought up is directly related to your “raise minimum wage” bs leftist mantra. None of it is the fault of capitalism but it is the fault of those who seek power to corrupt it. Our founding fathers knew this would be the nature of men. That said no ideology holds its citizens in more contempt than the communist and socialist.

Yep . . . Dem Party voters can see and hear all of this unfolding before their very eyes and yet their leftist political indoctrination will hold firm and they WILL vote for Joe Biden -- or for whatever Dem Party politician that they are told to vote for -- when the 2024 election voting rolls around. They are like lemmings on steroids.

I disagree. Employees of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the rest of the Military–industrial complex are benefiting handsomely. Not only do they pay taxes but also large campaign donations and speaker fees. If people have to die, does it really matter that they live in Maui or Ukraine?

Anyone hear of ANY celebrity homes destroyed in the Maui fires? How long before the wildfires are used as an excuse to declare “climate emergencies,” complete with new government powers and reduced rights? 🤔

How about not "taking" money from people who are struggling? Inflation is killing us.

Inflation has dropped over the last year. That’s not what’s killing us, it’s late stage capitalism functioning as normal.

Please explain your interpretation of the term, "late stage capitalism." This should be fun.

PragerUwU looks like you support Socialism/Marxism/Communism. Please study 20th-century history. Every form of socialism was tried and they all failed. Capitalism has many faults, but it works. Under Socialism production stagnates, there are shortages, and innovations are discouraged. All socialist economies become dysfunctional without exception. Face it, your lifestyle is based on Capitalist innovations.

But wait, there's more: the key aspect of Socialism is group ownership... soooo... if you own stock in a corporation, put up venture capital, you're engaging in Socialism. It's a pervasive thing and not at all the monster GOP politicians want the public to believe... well... maybe HOAs...
