I feel there are a number of jobs that are meant for teenagers. A person working the counter at McDonalds shouldn't be doing so as a career choice but should be a high school/college student earning some extra money. Furthermore, the min wage workers are usually some of the worst workers. This is why INO pays more than min wage and gets a much higher quality employee than that of Burger King. Companies usually get what they pay for in terms of employees.

Both Trump and Bernie would be terrible for the middle class. The only candidate that has given me a glimmer of hope of helping out the middle class is Cruz.

$15 minimum wage is working out really well for Seattle so far...if you like fewer jobs and more people out of work: http://www.aei.org/publication/early-evidence-suggests-that-seattles-radical-experiment-might-be-a-model-for-the-rest-of-the-nation-not-to-follow/

You're right, it's that idea, the health care, anything else that adds to our ever growing national debt which the Bern has plenty of. The problem with creating these money pits is once they are created, they are here to stay. What we need is the reverse of everything our government has been doing the last few decades and cut spending, cut programs, and balance a ****ing budget. Shit we need to go much further than balancing a budget...we need a surplus for years in order to pay down the 19 trillion we are in the hole. If I ran my business the way the government runs this country I would've been on the streets years ago. BTW, I'm not blaming Dems, both parties have a spending problem, they just spend it in different ways, both of which are not the ways I believe the money should be spent.

Just curious how many people are going to opening night vs. the Cubs. I'm for one am really curious to see how they play against the Cubs so I'll be there. Prices from the Angels look pretty reasonable in the presale today ($20+tm fees to get in): http://www.ticketmaster.com/los-angeles-angels-vs-chicago-cubs-anaheim-california-04-04-2016/event/09004F50E6175414?artistid=805892&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=10 PW LARUEA

Market is on a hot streak! Ole!

What exactly is that calculating? Also my point with those numbers was it doesn't mean as much to someone making over a million to have money taken away from them as it does to someone making in the low 6 figures or less.

No matter what rules are made the smart/wealthy people will always find away to get more and more money. "Wealth redistribution" has shown to only increase the gap between rich and poor while demolishing the middle class. What this country needs is policies that help the middle class.

I love the part where we lost to the Blackhawks in the 2nd round...I do agree that we wouldn't move one of our young Dmen for a rental like Ladd.

No way we would need to include a pick. I honestly wouldn't be too thrilled with Vats for Ladd straight up.

Anything less than 6 points is unacceptable and I'd really like all 8 points for those 4 games.

Sorry I worked from 6:45 AM until 7:45 PM tonight and didn't have the time in my day to check and see if this thread had started up again. The reason why it hurts the 50K-120K income bracket the most is because the increase in taxes affects them much more than people who make lots of money. If a family who makes around 100K (which btw, I believe is close to what Oregon's family unit makes since he said he makes 45K and his wife makes a little more) loses and extra 6K in Fed Income Tax, 2K in Payroll Tax, that 8K less in take home pay means a lot more to that person than the 100K less in take home pay for someone who makes 1M.

Quack Quack Quack the Ducks are hot!

You do realize Sanders policies are the worst for people making 50-120K which seems to be your exact situation?

Sooooo...are we going to have to pay to keep our money in banks soon?

Trump vs. Sanders is my nightmare because I think it's the only way Sanders has a chance.

They benefit more because they work harder and smarter.

Bad ass...I hope you were able to still sell them with your load all over them.

Not maybe, maybe not. Definitely not. Once again, thank god I didn't get my Econ degree from UMass.

Ok that's better...too bad the article is incorrect.

This is what makes it so hard to make tax brackets. What is rich in most parts of America is definitely not rich in NY, CHI, So Cal, SF. Especially when you factor in people in those 4 places are getting taxed even more on the state/local levels than many other parts of America.

I don't like the single payer system because it promotes treating patients in the most cost effective way as possible rather than the best treatment possible. I also don't like the idea of not having a choice in what health care I can receive. I agree that the current system is flawed but what system in our government isn't flawed? Single payer would definitely have flaws as many have already pointed out. My only solution to the problem (and I have no idea if it would work) is that med schools have a training portion where the students have to work in hospitals for people that are on government insurance. That way if you want free care is there for those who need it and people who want to buy insurance plans that cover fully credential doctors would be able to buy a plan for what is theoretically better care. When you go to the ER they have to treat you and are not allowed to ask for your insurance info until you are being discharged.

He hasn't fought for equal rights, he has fought for everyone being equal no matter how hard they work and produce for society.

That would not be the net result, I don't even know how you can assume that.

I read the article...it doesn't say 99.9% of people will benefit even if the economist is correct which he is not.
