Why not a national maximum wage?
   Advertisements [?]

If we can accept minimum wage standards why not maximum standards?


DUmmy economics...this should get funny.

6. A progressive rate that hits 100% does the job nicely. Totally legal.
   If loopholes are closed.
Yeah,everyone will stand for that. :whatever:

5. I'd rather we tax the rich at 50% or more.
   The govt. does need the money.

Unfortunately for many of the dummies the mininum wage is the maxinum wage. Sometimes you gotta be careful what you ask for.

I'd love to see the brain trusts over there get together and come up with a workable definition of "rich".  The top tax rate starts at $300,000 a year.  So, there's no difference between some Hollywood liberal who gets $20 million for a single movie and the small-business owner who works 90 hours a week and claims his entire business earnings on his 1040A.

This thread is a really good illustration of DUmmy motivation. Of course a few DUmmies are truly evil traitorous scum. But I believe the vast majority of non-moles, while clearly contemptible, are far, far too stupid to be effectively evil or traitorous. For them, what they think is a political philosophy is simply blind, stupid envy. They are no more capable of embracing a philosophy than is an ant, carrying the wing of a dismembered fly down its tunnel. Their "politics" is to hate anything good or happy, because they instinctively know they will never be either.

That's easy.  The DUmmie definition of rich is anyone who make more that I do.

DUmmie tax table.

Me - -100%
Everyone who makes more than me +100%

These yutzes are so far from understanding the whole concept of 'incentive' they will just never get it. DUmmie economics, yeah, that sums it up perfectly. 

Yet every one of them thinks they should be the one making the rules for everyone else...that of course wont apply to them.

To a conservative, a higher wage is an incentive to work harder.

To a liberal, a higher wage means the wage earners in that category are judged as better than himself, so must be brought back to their correct final wage...which is just under his wage.  Otherwise, it's not "fair."  :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:
