Walmart and Sam's Club announced wages will be increased for workers, paid maternal and parental leave is being expanded and bonuses are being sent out after the passage of tax reform. They're also giving $5000 to workers who adopt a child.
Here's how next year, (actually, any time between early Dec '18 and probably any time in early 2019) , to strike a blow MeM style at Big Corp America! Don't buy it--just 'borrow' it on deposit and get your 'deposit' back in a few weeks. UP WITH THE PROLETARIAT!!! DOWN WITH THE CORPRATS!!
Back on topic, after considering the removal of "common good" laws, I find I am in favor of this.
If you just remove minimum wage, you just made a bunch of democrats. People will perceive that something has been taken from the poor and given to the wealthy. If you remove all this common good tyranny at once, people will get a taste of liberty, and liberty is intoxicating. I imagine liberals would be in a uproar, but it will be hard to coverup the positive effects, much like Trump's tax plan has shut their mouths.
Think about all the low information voters who work at Walmart who just found out they're a getting raise because the president cut their taxes. He's hammering it home every day on Twitter. "Don't forget, no Democrat voted for that raise you just got".
And then, the (R's) need to put Pelosi's comment where she said that these increases were "Pathetic" and "crumbs" on a video loop and play it every half hour on all of social media.

I don't call people juvenile names like Libtards, Repuglicans, Demorats, yada, yada, yada.
No better way to convince someone of the truth of their position than to call them some pejorative...................like Deplorable
PM me your address. I will make sure you get your premium member snowflake card.
Who are you to deny people their desires ? Perhaps you have not heard of the "Golden Rule". "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". We are regularly called racist, homophobes, xenophobes, deplorables, and worse. I think you are being delusional Ray. Pray do tell. How many opinions of leftists have you changed by playing nicey nicey with them ?
You need a time out. You need to be banished to your room and sit in the corner while you read your premium snowflake copy of Rules for Radicals.
I call people names. Many here do not like this, but not one of them have walked in my shoes. If my swearing is an issue, I have always told this forum and those that I encounter to rate me accordingly. I generally keep it to a minimum, but I am damn near turrets like in real life. It is what it is.
Of course, there's a case to be made over who needs more flies, so....................
I know that I have no flies in my life. I strongly suspect the same of you.
That is not to say that I did not create my very own shithole in the past. I suffered greatly due to my own attraction to filth. It took a lot of soap to rid myself of the maggots surrounding me.

Maybe, unless they are a dumbocrat. I wouldn't expect to change a dumbocrat's mind if I was so nice to them to the point of kissing thier azz.
I am serious. Thaey don't deal with common sense, logic, and have a difficult time discerning facts, and facts from fiction. I don't argue with them and ridicule them in a futile effort to chwnge their minds. I do so to keep people who might be confused or on the fence from being infected with their thoughts. Plus, it is fun and makes for great theater/reading/entertainment.
I never (I hope) insult the person, just their opinion. Me and jaskispyder used to go after it in T/OT. I remember going to Chat or Technical with a question or queery and jaski would always be prompt with help.
All my life, from my Father, to my oil field mentors, I was ridiculed into being a better person. I guess that's why I have thick skin. Here is a thought. My Dad learned his "mean educational ways" from his Drill Instructors in Air Force Basic Training. The Army has similar techniques, and we all know how Gomer Pyle was treated by Seargent Carter, .
Granted, the leftist loons are never coming around.
But there's a whole crop of middle of the road people who still call themselves Democrat. Not going to make any headway with them calling 'em Democrap.

Do you think that we just go around calling folks names? I certainly do not. This is also the only forum that I post on.
