Minimum Wage

Posted Thu, 05/13/2010 - 17:04 by juslen

Below is a reply I made to someone who claimed that getting rid of the minimum wage would result in a race towards the bottom. Meaning without minimum wage, businesses would drive wages to the ground, leaving a wake of former minimum wage workers unemployed or underpaid.

Unemployment laws discriminate against unskilled workers. The failing educational system in the inner cities result in uneducated youth, who grow up with no means to gain any real experience or skills. Minimum wage destroys the only thing many minorities have left, their ability to work and make a better life for themselves. They are unable to obtain much needed jobs at any wage which would allow them to move onto better paying jobs.

Mark Knopfler - Ride Across The River

Just wanted to share this with people. Amazing song, ashamed I never heard it before. The days of quality live music that was actually unique are long gone, so hold onto the classics whenever you can.

Communist California

Posted Thu, 03/04/2010 - 22:32 by juslen

People wonder why the state of California is bankrupt and 10's of thousands of people are fleeing due to lack of jobs and insanely high taxes. This is yet another example of government bureaucracy and regulations destroying the incentive to remain in the state. Could you imagine spending 10k dollars on geological surveys and tests only for you permit to be rejected. Of course you can say, "soak the rich" but imagine the red tape that the average business owner has to go through or even the typical property owner.

Tony Kornheiser gets caught up in Hannah Storm

Posted Tue, 02/23/2010 - 15:59 by juslen

ESPN commentator Tony Kornheiser has been suspended for three days for insulting Sports Center anchor Hannah Storm on her outfit during his show, Pardon the Interruption. No stranger to a sense of humor, often criticizing sports figures, this time around he decided to vent some frustrated over her characteristically 'youthful' wardrobe which doesn't quite match her actual age which is 47.

Glenn Beck Destroys RINOS

Posted Sun, 02/21/2010 - 02:46 by juslen

This isn't about Obama, this isn't about Republicans its about denouncing the progressive movement in the United States. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Glenn Beck point out the failures of both parties. The message is clear, Americans are tired of being labeled and told that the government is going to make everything alright. Instead we realize that we cannot right the issues of this country without returning to the founding principles in which we rose to greatness. Those times are not gone, they are not forgotten, simply lost.

Obama Ruins Superbowl Pregame Show

Posted Sun, 02/07/2010 - 14:14 by juslen

Yes you heard it, he ruined a pregame show. You would think it would be impossible to ruin it considering it was a non stop Hurricane Katrina cyrfest. But low and behold we get to listen to Obama and Katie Couric talk about politics for 15 minutes. Mr. President, in this recession, when people are out of work, perhaps this is a moment for them to get away from politics and simply enjoy a stupid Superbowl pregame show. instead of talking about Health Care Reform.

The Nanny State

Posted Sat, 01/16/2010 - 01:34 by juslen

Ever stop and think about how the laws which you think simply exist to protect you, also come with negative consequences that often transfer over to certain segments of society? I think this issue rings clear when we hear about discrimination not only based on race but on income. Its always for the greater good, but for the greater good of who? Perhaps for the white collar worker with the BMW and not so much for factory worker in the Saturn. The Nanny State, just wait until it affects your freedom and not someone else.

Obama Lies, Health Care Dies

Posted Thu, 01/07/2010 - 02:28 by juslen

While 1/6 of the economy is on the line, Democrats plan on negotiating the final version of the health care reform bill behind closed doors. C-Span was used as a campaign ploy to convince voters during the 2008 elections that then, presidential candidate Barack Obama was somehow all about transparency and accountability. Not another 8 years or George W. Bush his supporters claimed. This was the hope and change that the American people had hoped for.
