@BRYAN351 That's ... By: 1963danno. on 27 Dec 11, 18:51:49 @BRYAN351 That's funny but I now pay almost ten dollars per hour for my healthcare and I am only eligible if I work enough hours every quarter. Back when Hillary care was on the table our contribution? rate stayed ay four dollars an hour for almost two years. As soon as that was taken off the table prices and my contribution rate skyrocketed.

@1963danno No, what ... By: BRYAN351. on 25 Dec 11, 14:25:12 @1963danno No, what happens is the company moves the factory overseas so they can hire better workers at lower wages. Can you blame them? Why pay bunch of ungrateful slackers $25/hr + bennies when you can hire a bunch of go-getters for $2/hr + no bennies?
A union "guaranteeing" your wages is just as stupid as if the government tried to? guarantee a company prices. There are no guarantees in the marketplace. Prices for goods, services, and labor rise and fall due to market conditions.
@BRYAN351 And what ... By: 1963danno. on 25 Dec 11, 13:38:29 @BRYAN351 And what happens is those type of unions eventually die off. I have no protections in my union besides guaranteeing my hourly wage and benefits. They are allowed to terminate my employment at? any time for any reason
@1963danno ... By: BRYAN351. on 25 Dec 11, 05:28:48 @1963danno continued... Maybe your union is one of the better ones, but I've known people in unions throughout my life, and I've heard some fucked up stories of union corruption, let me tell you.
Steel mill workers getting paid for sleeping in a shack all day, worthless mill workers not being fired simply because they're a minority, a GM worker with an alleged knee injury getting 3 months off at 90% pay, then climbing in and out of fishing boats all summer (my? uncle).
@1963danno Well ... By: BRYAN351. on 25 Dec 11, 05:11:51 @1963danno Well yeah, when you buy a gallon of milk, you want the milk more than your $3, and the store wants your $3? more than the milk. You both benefit from the exchange, otherwise you both would not have done it. That's the beauty of free market capitalism.
Why pay a worker anything? If you offered $0/hr, nobody would take the job. If you offered $1000/hr, everyone would want the job. The optimum wage is just high enough to fill the position, but no more. That's the job's value.
@BRYAN351 No my ... By: 1963danno. on 25 Dec 11, 04:38:29 @BRYAN351 No my employer need workers to make a profit, that is why I have or don't have a job. It's? only a "voluntary" exchange if BOTH parties benefit.

The marketplace determines what that wage (or the price of your labor) is. Why should your boss pay you $50/hr when there are 100 people lined up to do your job at $15/hr?
The term "Living Wage" is a bullshit term made up by socialist parasites. Some jobs simply aren't worth a "living wage." Would you pay me $10K for a used car that's worth only $5K?

Prosperity isn't a right. Prosperity is something you have to go out and EARN, unless you're lucky enough to win the lotto or inherit a fortune.
