You may not agree with me, but I am still in favor of gun control plans and raising the minimum wage. I believe we will get a version of both under the new and improved Biden administration.


No, I do not agree with you.
Only hope to be wrong, for the good of our country and the general welfare of everybody.

More restrictive gun laws are badly needed. Gun confiscation would never happen.


Why? What would more 'restrictive' gun laws accomplish?

The Democratic convention highlighted gun violence.
Here’s what Biden plans to do about it.
As part of his p**********l campaign, Biden introduced a sweeping gun control plan that includes universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, more resources toward the enforcement of existing gun laws, a public push for the development of “smart guns,” and incentives for states to adopt “red f**g” laws, which let courts confiscate guns from people deemed a risk to themselves or others and develop gun-licensing systems.

Robert W. Kasten: Ignorance is no excuse for Biden’s gun control plan
Joe Biden isn’t the type to let ignorance get in the way of drastic action. Like most politicians, he’s boldest about banning the things that he knows the least about.

Those who say raising the minimum wage will have no effect on employment are dreaming.
But we'll have to cut back on the number of people doing that job. Customers will have to input their own orders either online or at a console in the restaurant. Nor will we be able to have as many people preparing the food. We prefer to do that ourselves, but we can outsource the work. That will eliminate more jobs and allow us to reduce our labor costs.

A minimum wage is just the start and it should never define you or your future.

Good arguments, America 1, however I thinking you are wasting your time. Democrats are really not into listening to reason. They would rather hang on to their senseless views than to be open about learning the t***h about tested policies. They v**e based on emotion, not reason or proven results. Nice try though.

From the study of economics and every time the minimum wage has been increased, it shows more negative effects than positive ones. One change I would love to see, and I believe it would go a long way to minimizing government overreach, is to require any bill Congress is considering to have an authorization line. Meaning, the bill's first line would have to state under what authority of the Constitution Congress is permitted to enact such legislation.

All existing gun laws, along with enforcement powers, need to be examined. New gun laws which would better protect the safety of all Americans should be enacted with full authorization of congress. I guess we agree on this one.

And exactly what ‘new gun law’ would you propose?

Not only an authorization line, but an expiration date, which would force them to review the law to determine if it is still needed. We have so many antiquated and contradictory laws on the books now, that no matter what you are doing, you are probably breaking some rule or law from way back when. A friend was exonerated from a traffic citation because the law in that county still said that no male officer could arrest a female-why, I have no idea, but that was changed post haste after that little gem got into the newspapers. She fought it because her DL was on the line-she was a speeder- It will never happen, though, because Congress is only interested in restraining US, not themselves. I still cannot figure out how and why we ever considered a "minimum wage" law in this country to be a good thing. Was it when we had child labor and horrible working conditions and unions fought for it? I cannot seem to find much about the origins. Just on general principles I think government should get out of the business of setting wages for anyone other than their employees or armed services.

There are many things that at one time were a good idea and have since been twisted or morphed into a perversion of the original idea. The minimum wage does provide a base, a good idea when there isn't much competition for the workers. If you look at where job openings seem to be greater than the number of applicants, you'll find that the companies are offering more than the minimum wage to get their employees. In areas where the number of applicants is greater than the number of jobs, the minimum wage provides a bottom to the wage scale.

Could be - but I still wonder if it is a good idea for government to get involved in these things. What is the enforcement of the Minimum Wage, and what are the exemptions and why? What are the legal ramifications for not paying minimum or more? Are there any? I cannot see that it is enforceable to any great degree that would be a deterrent. I would think Government, at least Federal government would have better things to do. Perhaps it would be better left to states or municipalities. As you say, there are places where it is not needed-there is again, no "one size fits all" in this country. Isn't "diversity" supposed to be a goal? Yet we want everyone treated as though we are all the same. Makes no sense to me.
