The Minimum Wage: The Market Solution (May 5, 2015)
. . .
1 “And the private sector solution.”
2 “Without a minimum wage, the government is providing massive subsidies for the workers laboring at major corporations that only provide sixty or seventy percent of the minimum livable wage. The employees are required to subsist on food stamps and other government subsidies and programs. If the minimum wage is instituted, more of the cost of production is internalized by the corporation rather subsidized by the tax payer.”
1 “There may be some lost jobs. However, all the large corporations have deployed their most cunning technicians to find ways to eliminate as many human jobs as possible already.”
2 “Reducing monthly government payments requires some foresighted policy at the outset. It is a no-brainer, but it requires an extraordinary brainer to understand.”
. . .
1 “The great debate over national health care fails to acknowledge that the United States has implemented the most inefficient national health insurance program in the history of human kind in Title 11, the Bankruptcy Code, rather than in Title 42, governing Public Health and Welfare.”
2 “The solution is simple. The public shall receive the same health care coverage as the Congress.”
. . .
1 “The Norwegians will not reward that notion with their Nobel in E-con-omics. If they do not reward that notion, the professional e-con-omists will not propound the notion.”
2 “We should go to the International Court of Justice and seek an injunction against the Norwegians and use the Nobel money for some other virtuous public purpose.”
1 “I am on board. How could a concerned member of the public organize a public boycott?”
