Re: Ceasing taxes on low income levels would be no worse


 Sure “A single parent with a couple kids can easily get $35,000 a year in total benefits between the health care and the earned income credit and the FoodShare and the low-income housing and what have you. … That’s after taxes.”

— Incoming Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), on UpFront with Mike Gousha, Nov. 30, 2014.

The representative-elect has been a longtime critic of the current welfare system."

BECAUSE that is ($ 35,000 /52/40) = $18,80/hour, or about what ALL the economic annalists, including government ones, suggest is a living wage in America.

"Some cities have a higher minimum wage than the national level, just to solve this problem. For example, the second cheapest city (again, according to Kiplinger's) is Springfield, Illinois. Here, a living wage is $7.89. Since the national minimum wage wasn't enough, the city raised the minimum wage to $8.00/hour. This is enough for a single person, but falls short for a family of four, which requires $17.78 to cover the basic costs. Even if both parents work full-time, making a total of $16.00/hour, it's not enough."

I don't see anyone stopping you from countering his opinion but you cannot call him a liar or stupid and vice versa. You both are welcome to your opinion, post to each other or avoid each other but everyone is allowed to express their opinion no matter how anyone else thinks or feels about it within the boundaries Rose has set out which considering posters are already aware of Rose's boundaries, they ought to respect them.

I haven't done a deep study, but I think when Cooter is on the board, participation picks up, and when he leaves, it falls off. Have any of you observed that?

No, i hadn't noticed. I like different view points.

I did however, had a problem with Rigby, when many of you didn't.


He constantly changed a thread subject into the same argument, over and over again.

Hillary is bad
U.S. is bad
Guns are good


I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a bot that was returned to Russia for adjustment.

I don't believe any bot could possibly be as creative as Rigby.

You left off "insurance is bad" and "government insurance programs good"

This thread has become uncomfortable to read. A "Russian bot?"

I don't think that's fair treatment of a long-time poster to a board regardless of how you feel about them.

Birdcharm, For the record I like Rigby, I told you that before, when i asked if i could invite him to your board. However, he does push my limits at times. For example, he has privately emails me and talks about other board members spreading propaganda when they are just giving their opinion. Then he told me he's made deals with other members not to post in their threads if they didn't post on his threads.

Then he complains to me, that he had to post on their threads, because they were spreading propaganda which he said, they promised not to do.

I don't expect you to follow this, but that is exactly what happened, and why Rigby is taking some time off.

I hope he returns, when he no longer believes people are spreading propaganda. Frankly, i don't want him to return until he realizes that people are just expressing their opinion not propaganda.

I'd be foolish to argue with a SnowPixie on the first day of winter!

I must say though, thinking of inviting someone to a board where there is an active & fiery member such as Brad really isn't giving them a gift of love, lol. Your thought of such an invite would have been a couple of years ago, but it would have made no sense, as Rigby had a much nicer board right here in which he was an active member.

As for what anyone here believes to be propaganda or not, I know that there are a lot of stories in constant circulation in our mainstream news media which is highly questionable to many people. I see that you "don't want him to return" until he does or doesn't do something, others may feel the same way you do; however, I'm not sure about making comments about him when he's not here, it just doesn't seem right to me.

It may not be but neither is gossiping about your own family. I haven't seen anyone here be "fiery" they are jalapenos compared to habanaros, unless you want to find a recipe or knitting advice board, for a political board I haven't found tamer.
