My wife and sister-in-law are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and I just saw some propaganda commercial about being thankful for Obamacare. They must be desperate, because in 35 years I've never seen a commercial stumping for a law that's already been passed and upheld by the SCOTUS, and AFTER an election has already happened. I think they're saying the same about us..

And in my opinion that is a big problem in this country. If the top execs didn't make the tens of millions they do and put a little more in employees pockets you wouldn't have the govt. having to hand out free shit. At least in my opinion, if wages were higher less would qualify for the free shit. Like wally world, almost 50% of the workers qualify for welfare and food stamps? WTF? At least that's my logic. Little less top exec pay put it towards higher hourly wages = less need for free shit = less taxes imposed on those making 250k+ to cover the free shit |

Your logic is flawed. You cannot pay people more and expect less people to be apart of the FSA. It might actually be counter intuitive...
An increase in the average pay will make it costs more to the company to produce. And as I said, any increase in costs of doing business would be passed down the line to the consumer. Thus creating higher priced items across the board. Now since things are higher priced, more people can't afford such items. Now you have more people on the government cheese. But as far as the FSA is concerned, it doesn't matter how much things cost or how much they can be paid, they're nothing but leaches. |

But as far as the FSA is concerned, it doesn't matter how much things cost or how much they can be paid, they're nothing but leaches. You're right, increasing employee pay would make the cost to run the company more so the end result would be more expensive consumer goods. But that's not my point. My point was less exec pay to cover the costs of higher employee wages. Something like a 2% cut in the CEO of walmart's salary could could raise the every employees pay by 3 or 4 bucks an hour. Don't quote me on that, I'd have to dig it up the documentary to find out for sure. Whatever it was it was a small decrease in CEO salary to a relatively decent increase in employee pay WITHOUT raising the costs of consumer goods. You're right, the leeches on the Govt. that do not work and refuse to work, this solution wouldn't help. That would require stricter regulations on welfare, food stamps, section 8 ect ect. I don't think anyone should be allowed to be on Govt. programs without a job for more than 6-8 months. I'm honestly trying to figure out a solution that would help everyone. Of course the top execs wouldn't he happy, but honestly I'd much rather see them willingly take a small hit than have the Govt. make the company pay higher taxes and force higher prices on goods.That's not the solution, that just creates another problem. Basically what I'm saying is top execs take a small hit, put that towards higher wages for employees. That would keep prices on goods the same. Employees making more can't qualify for Govt. assistance or need to. That would lead to the Govt. not needing to raise taxes on business to cover the Got. assistance programs. Stricter regulations on the free shit. Maybe I'm delusional but that's honestly the only real solution to the problem I see. |

One more thing. I know the solution is not to raise taxes on those making 250k or more a year. That is a stupid low number. Should be 3-5 million a year. 250k is not a lot and would put a lot off small businesses under. I'm not even sure who thought that up and thought it was a good idea, but I think they should receive a swift kick to the crotch followed by a fist to the face.
I'll put what I'm saying as simple as possible. Would you rather work for a corporation who pays it's employees 60k a year and the execs makes ~300k-500k a year or would you want to work for a corp. who pays it's employees 20k a year while the execs make 3+ million a year? I don't think that's communistic view. That would impose less taxes because the govt wouldn't be handing out billions in food stamps, welfare, section 8 ect ect. Because people working make enough to buy that shit themselves. |

If we took every single penny he was paid and split it amongst the employees, those employees would see a $2.26 per YEAR... pay raise. That is 0.001 (one thousandth) of a cent per hour if we took every penny from the CEO and gave it directly to the workers. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=WMT+Profile |

May I suggest you re-read with a little less anger. If you think the only people on welfare or food stamps are single women with kids. You are seriously misinformed. |

I wouldn't say you're delusional, just see things through rose colored glasses. You won't see too many, if any, office dwellers take a pay hit so the people who sweat can make more.
The best option is not to pay people more so they cant' qualify for free money. Because, as we both agree on, FSA will be FSA no matter what –– it's not like they're working anyway. Ideally you make those on the FSA actually have to show substance to get their federal help. You reform the entitlement program. You put a max amount of months one can draw on welfare or SNAP unless they can prove, without unequivocal doubt, that they need assistance. And no, some silly disorder does not count. All sorts of common sense measures. If you cannot prove your worth, you do not get money. |

Shimric? Oh so maybe we should raise the minimum wage to $25 an hour, and that'll solve everything, Shimric! Or maybe it'll raise the cost of doing business again because it costs employers $25 dollars an hour to hire a mop boy, Shimric. Shimric, do you think those extra costs would be passed to the consumer again and lower the value of the dollar further? Tell me how that would work, Shimric! And Shimric, do you think the Free Shit Army are hard-working people who are being held down by THE MAN? Shimric, I'm waiting for your wisdom!  http://youtu.be/sZ5Tj_7AkbI
Angry much? |

I wouldn't say you're delusional, just see things through rose colored glasses. You won't see too many, if any, office dwellers take a pay hit so the people who sweat can make more. The best option is not to pay people more so they cant' qualify for free money. Because, as we both agree on, FSA will be FSA no matter what –– it's not like they're working anyway. Ideally you make those on the FSA actually have to show substance to get their federal help. You reform the entitlement program. You put a max amount of months one can draw on welfare or SNAP unless they can prove, without unequivocal doubt, that they need assistance. And no, some silly disorder does not count. All sorts of common sense measures. If you cannot prove your worth, you do not get money. You make good points. The entire govt assistance program ideology needs to be re-worked. More clear cut, less ways to abuse the system. Sadly, I haven't seen one politician want to take a stance like that. They either want to add all kinds of shit to it or completely do away with it. Neither of the two are a viable solution. |

They are not desperate, they're gloating. Bilster Agreed. Did anyone hear BO pardoning the turkeys yesterday and inserting the word "forward" in the pardon? I saw some ass hat yesterday with many BO bumper stickers. One was "I Love (heart) Obamacare." It should say "I Love Legal Theft" or "I Love Interfering in Voluntary Acts Btwn Individuals" (but that one would be too long). |

Desperate about what? It's the law now. It's not like anyone can do anything about it. They can lose future elections over it when people's hours get cut at work, costs for healthcare go up, it costs more to eat at Denny's, etc. Because the top Execs. decided to raise the costs instead of taking pay cuts. They could have just as easily done that, but they chose to raise costs to cover it. BTW, have you seen the Republican party? Going on about gay rights, abortion, rape and taking away women's healthcare for BC. I think they are digging their own grave. Throw in the idiots who vote democrat for free shit. I don't think the democratic party is the least bit desperate. Why should they take pay cuts? I agree with some of the rest of your post. BC coverage should be btwn the insurance company and their client. |

I should have just said, minimum wage should rise with inflation. |

Shimric, why would I take a pay cut because Democrats raised my cost of doing business instead of passing those costs on to the consumer, or massively slashing the fat in my business? Please Shimric, I need to know? Did you buy a gun yet, Shimric? Shimric, have you made a lot of friends here? Shimric. |
