"Politicians for failing to raise the minimum wage." Believe it or not, here is where I deflect from the conservative agenda. Fast food workers work their butts off, and they deserve to have the minimum wage raised, and should be raised annulally commensurate with inflation.Ah good. "Bankers for crashing the economy." The reason they crashed the economy, was because they were forced to give mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. No one "forced" anyone to do anything. Scammers gave mortgages to people who couldn't afford them and then immediately sold the mortgages to banks for a profit. The banks bought the mortgages because the scammers had made at least a cursory effort to hide how bad they were, and being the CEO of a bank clearly doesn't require any actual financial expertise. Then the mortgages were defaulted. The banks lost billions of dollars and the government had to bail them out because they were "too big to fail." The scammers who issued, repackaged, and resold the mortgages walked away with massive ill-gotten profits, but the government couldn't prosecute them for fraud because THAT'S SOCIALISM! "Billionaires for stealing money." All billionaires steal money? It's simply not possible to earn a billion dollars, so they must have gotten it from somewhere. But the main reason are the foreigners, especially the illegals. When I was in high school I used to work at a Burger King, where a lot of teenagers worked. Today, those jobs are going to the foreigners. You never see high school kids working there anymore. There are fewer high school kids working there because of the lousy economy— all those jobs have gone to people with college degrees, or at minimum, considerable work experience. I'm eagerly awaiting your explanation for how you can determine somebody's national origin and immigration status by looking at them. Until then, I'll assume you meant "adults" and "college graduates" and accidentally typed "foreigners" and "illegals" because your mind wandered while you were posting. |
