Republican Debate Should Have Impressed Conservatives and Neoconservatives

.
The top GOP Clowns won the hearts of their supporters with the usual inaccurate numbers and percentages that reinforce the misinformation regularly cited by conservatives and neoconservatives.

The article at the following link fact checks the omissions, exaggerations, and just plain fibs told by tonight’s debate participants.

Ignore or defend them as you please. Just remember, this thread concerns the REPUBLICANS' debate. Since there were no Democrats in the debate, so there is no reason to bring them up. (We'll see how long the righties can stay on topic.)

Most of those GOP Presidential candidates are against raising the minimum wage. I thought people who work hard should be rewarded instead of living off welfare. What's wrong with getting a nice, decent wage? Those GOP candidates who are against raising the minimum wage should spend a day at McDonald's working as a short order cook and I'm sure they will change their minds.

 

And what is a decent wage?

 

It's called Juxtaposition, compare and contrast. Comparing Republicans and Democrats is always fair game.

 

So you think serving burgers should be a career?

 

When I see people stuck in burger joints because their 2 or 4 year degree they spent a big buck on in student loans is now worth about as much as toilet paper, yeah I do.

People have this running gag about how fast food workers can't get orders right, maybe if they were paid enough that they weren't totally stressed about living your orders would be correct a bit more often.

Time to wake to some facts. With ever increasing efficiencies the number of people needed to do anything is decreasing, and that includes many high skilled professions, due to the fact that as other jobs dry up, people flood the remaining high pay bastions. This means that only a few people really profit from a tightening job market, typically the for profit colleges and head hunters.

This idiocy that Capitalism will last forever and that free markets will solve everything is going to explode as we move past the industrial age.

America is already more of a service economy these days, and that means you need to pay a living wage for the services you consume, even if that's the guy who asks if you want pickles on that burger.
