But there are a lot of people out there who will spite their own nose for short term gain.

Amen, sadly that seems is a frequent characteristc of the human condition.

Purple/Green understand/get what? Please enumerate.

Maybe the Blue states understand/get it.

I think you have it backwards. Let me enumerate what the Blue states understand/get.

That since it's not an enumerated power of the federal government that raising the minimum wage on a national level is unconstitutional?

That artificially raising the minimum wage artificially raises the prices of goods and services?

That competition among the states allows those who are most efficient to be momentarily successful; thus producing goods and services in the most efficient way?

That the "invisible hand of the free market" only allows goods and services that people are willing to pay for to be produced and provided; thus providing the most efficient means of distributing goods and services?

Constitutionally, the power to artificially raise the minimum wage is a power delegated to the people, and to the states, respectively.

Nothing wrong with that. If each state wants to artificially raise wages/prices, then I'm fine with that.

Forcing the minimum wage up in the blue states only raises unemployment. This is something the slave party likes.

edit:

Some cities are going above and beyond.

http://murray.seattle.gov/minimumwage/#sthash.jjwExyJQ.dpbs

Let's see what happens in Seattle.

So your for selfishness then .

Once apon a time here in the Colony of Australia (seeing as you yanks think of us that way :-))

The 6 states and 1 territory use to compete for business however it never really worked as 1 state did well the others would lose out .

The problem is that when this happens the Country as a whole lost out . Unemployment going up in the other states that lost out to so called free markets was putting a burdon on the whole country from higher unemployment to health care to homelessness .

Now days there is some compition but most of it has gone as the federal government says fine your doing well so you don't need so much of the GST tax revenue and what this has done is not stop states from competing but has allowed the states to compete fairly and not say undercut another state .

As that has caused problem it's self as the states that have under cut another state just to win the work went bankrupt from missus and greed.

But no problem I understand your for self not the whole country and if one state undercuts another who cares right after all your just 50 separate country's that very losely say your a country . And a GOd fearing one at that .

Pitty the bible does not look good on greed or selfishness .

As for minimum wage well funny we have had it for 30 years didn't stop our country from Booming and having better finances and a better balance sheet than pretty much most other country's around the world .

But no worry's your way is best as your governments balance sheet shows .

Ok now you can blame the rest of the world for all your finical problems let the whinging start .

Trump is a business man. He's not exactly what I want to see in the white house, but at least he's not another absolutely corrupt politician who'll exempt himself from the laws he imposes on the rest of us and who'll continue to launder money through a crooked 501(c)3 to enrich himself by selling access to the white house.

So the republicams are going to limit the amount you can put into your 501 .......don't think so mate there just as guilty as the so called Liberals you refer to .

So trump is a honest man .....mmm so to set up a company to deliberately fail and go bankrupt is legal ????

Some here have said knowingly doing this is illegal so how can Trump be a honest man when he has done exactly that broken law the law wilfully , even if it would be hard to actually prove he knowingly did it .

I think you have confused a 501(c)3 with a 401(k).

501(c)3 is a charity.
401(k) is a retirement plan.

Umm yes the 401

But no matter the same thing applies to both the 501 and 401 , only don't they call it "philanthropy" when put into the 501 .

MM 401 retirement is ok but 501 charity is not mmm ok got it .

Waiting for the back flip now I pointed that out :-)

I got a call from a friend in Washington who knows more about political polling than anyone in America. He was almost breathless with excitement.

“It’s gonna be a landslide,” he said.

A 401(k) is like a bank account, in fact it could be one.
A 501(c)3 is a business. To the point it hires people and pays salary, has articles of incorporation, a mission statement. Like The American Cancer Society. or SETI @ Home

With Trump & Clinton the best you have to offer at this time, will the world see more of this happening?

Flag Code

Trump follows the law? Then why so many legal actions?
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/

Trump and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

And despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY. Most involve people who say they were physically injured at Trump properties, with settlements that range as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Trump follows the law? Then why so many legal actions?

Because there are no laws to prevent the filing of 'legal actions' that have little or no chance of prevailing, and scum bag attorneys are more than happy to take large sums of money from stupid people trying to prove a point......repeatedly.

I thought he filed most of them ... guess that says a lot about his ability to learn. ;)

I applaud your passion over Mr. Trump,
I can see that you have yet to identify
who the real victims will be if he wins!



edit:
We are praying for you, it seems some of you are getting close to solving this...

Trump follows the law. Yes, you could say he uses the law to his advantage. But so do many other business folks. Which law did he violate with his four (I think) bankruptcies? (I don't care how many times his companies went bankrupt.)

If you agree to lend someone money on the promise they'll give you a return on investment, and they go bankrupt, who's fault is it? You weren't forced to lend that person money in the first place. Are you going to lend him more money in the future? That's your choice.

If enough in U.S. society don't think bankruptcy should be legal, there is a process to make it illegal. In a lawful society, the people give consent to how they will be governed.

If the plan to go bankrupt is not written in the business plan you agree to, how can you hold them accountable? Just like our "open meeting" laws across the states, how can you hold the board members accountable for talking to each other on the phone and calling it an illegal closed meeting?

Clinton does not follow the law. She has admitted it many times. She thinks she's exempt from the law. This is lawlessness from the top. When it happens at the top, it flows down and causes anarchy, poverty and despair.

I want to live in a society which follows the rule of law. A society which follows the rule of law provides the most peace and prosperity.

Darth, what you call selfishness is what most people call greed. Greed is a natural state of being human. It's one of the seven. The Bible mentions greed dozens of times. We have a growing number of folks who reject the Bible. They're called atheists. In a lawful society, greed acts as a motivator to productivity. If we all follow the law, greed provides more goods and services to society. Without greed, there is less incentive to be productive. With less productivity.... etc.


Now that I think about it... that's what liberalism is all about, I suppose. Less productivity, less prosperity, more poverty, more hunger, more disease, more death... bottom line: less human population. The root of saving this rock in space. If that's the case, clinton is the answer. Maybe a nuclear exchange among inhabitants, 1,000 years of nuclear waste and a rebirth of a limited human population. Utopia!

The Bible is very Good for Law . If you Read the 10 Commandments there simple but apply even today so you can still be a atheist but understand what the law is. god has nothing to do with knowing what right.

A country that encourages Greed as you say selfishness is what it is will implode.

Tyranny comes from arrogance , wealth , power , and greed , ideology is just a tool they use to get the power .

What crime has Clinton said she broke . Having a Email Server for her personal use mmmmmmmmm

So Trumps ok 4 bankroupcy and your gona give him the key the country's money .........

Because it's ok to break the law and lie if the law allows it . So Clinton hasn't broken the law then having a Email Server for her personal use . So what's all the hoopla . It's ok for Trump to do the same thing .
Clinton hasn't broken the law
Trump hasn't broken the Law

AS THE LAW allowed them to break the law .

The difference is the policys mate . Hows he gona get Mexico to pay for a wall . If I was Mexico I'd tell ya to ........
Same thing with this telling your allys to pay up for our defence .....

UP Y....s iLi

We pay enough for your F-ing war

The only one that will stat a war will be Trump .

Sometimes Fate bites !

---

A Mexican president did already tell Trump .... about Mexico paying for his wall.

Clinton or Trum could both start more wars. Both are hawkish, Trump just has his hair styled like a hawk.

But, to tie your two posts together (Ddrth and what/who you responded to), why is Hillary corrupt. Hmmm. Greed! COngratulations on praising what makes Hillary so bad? Guy? (AUTHORARIANISM kills.)

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

A quote from an old British film, possibly Monty Python went "Money is not the root of all evil, it's the whole bloody tree"........so true on both sides.

My feeling is it's more logical to make it easier for someone of moderate intelligence to generate wealth than to 'redistribute' wealth generated by someone of moderate intelligence. Trump, no matter his failings, is more likely to achieve that state than Hiliary.

Rising tides really do lift all boats.

First "Feelings" aren't Logical.
The second part of your sentence is a Contradiction in Terms.

Are we really talking about Water, and the Lunar Cycles?
