i lived in california for the past decade. at least ten percent of the LA population is illegal aliens taking good jobs and working for peanuts. there is a french airplane screw manufacturing company in torrance that hires mostly illegal aliens by the hundreds. i’ve personally been broke enough in LA that i’ve woken up in a twenty million dollar mansion with only ten dollars to my name. i’ve hear second hand of a rich hollywood hills family that brings in a lady from guatamala to be the nanny while paying her fifty dollars a month. and, my home was in the hollywood hills, around fancy houses, and I walked the hills for exercise for a decade, and I never saw a true american doing work…so, the rich get richer, the illegals are still poor, and the american can’t find a job.

Of course Brown and his fellow moonbats should be tackling these structural problems but, instead, they’ll just keep robbing the “rich” and redistributing even more money onto those who don’t value education, commit the vast amount of crime, and eschew personal responsibility. The resulting humongous entitlement mentality will be the ruin of America. Time for the productive to Go Galt.

Manufacturing GOODS, or even services, high tech services, creates wealth, increases disposable income, drives the economic growth and THAT lowers poverty.

All modern societies have income inequality. Even in Cuba and North Korea the Communist Party elites have more material goods and higher incomes than the masses. Fixating on this issue is just another symptom of Socialist Derangement Syndrome. The Dumbocrats are just playing voters for the ignorant suckers they are. This is all about buying votes from the dirt dumb sheeple with economically destructive feel good policies.

Raising the minimum wage does not reduce income inequality because whatever small gains are made by those at the margins are offset by higher unemployment and all of the anti-social pathologies that follow from that, like higher crime rates for inexperienced and unskilled laborers who are permanently priced out of the labor market.

Here is a stone cold fact for all of you economic illiterates out there – ALL WAGES ULTIMATELY COME FROM PRODUCTIVITY, NOT BUREAUCRATIC FIAT. If minimum wage laws really reduced poverty then why not take that to it’s logical conclusion and eradicate poverty once and for all by raising the minimum wage to $100/hr.?
What’s wrong with you compassion Nazi’s? Why the timid half measures?
