But I think we have 2 pols in this race that are willing to do that - Romney and Rudy. Rudy was VERY unpopular in NY for doing just that, taking on the awful status quo and saying "We don't have to live like this." I had to do some work in NY in the 80's, we were warned not to go through Times Square. Now it's about as safe as Disneyland. Every porn broker, pimp and drug dealer screamed bloody murder when they got the boot. <BR/><BR/>Rudy got the mob out of the Fulton Fish Market. Nobody thought that was possible.<BR/><BR/>Romney didn't do THAT much as Gov., but his success with Bain is legendary. You don't build large businesses by ignoring the truth.<BR/><BR/>McCain, Obama and Clinton - have never been executives. Senators CAN speak in platitudes for decades and get away with it.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918811633751385469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-85827644501676170672008-01-26T00:21:00.000+00:002008-01-26T00:21:00.000+00:00Ummmm, Monster,Wrong post.Welcome aboard, D!Since ...Ummmm, Monster,<BR/>Wrong post.<BR/>Welcome aboard, D!<BR/>Since I live in Houston, I'll have to look up Mr. Holt; if he's not just another charade.<BR/>I still believe that a plain spoken politician, saying the thing we all know to be true but dare not say for fear of being labeled, could wipe the floor with any of the euphemism spouters of today.daddyquatrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845283760860562110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-24488699592360346502008-01-25T16:00:00.000+00:002008-01-25T16:00:00.000+00:00The reason the minimum wage is important is that i...The reason the minimum wage is important is that it indirectly affects many more people than it allegedly benefits. By preventing unskilled workers from selling their services below a certain level, trade union bosses can demand proportionally higher wages for their skilled members. <BR/><BR/>Suppose you have a job that an unskilled worker can do in three hours, but a skilled worker can do in one. If the minimum wage is $7, the union can still underbid it (by a dollar per unit production) with a contract at $20. <BR/><BR/>The union gets higher wages for its members, and the unskilled worker is unemployed. Isn't it great that he has the government looking out for him?The Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291546809967159683noreply@blogger.com
