  1. so a sales tax? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  2. streetscooby, money gets taxed lots of times so why not? which tax do you think is fairest? (assuming you've got to tax in the first place) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  3. don't have to. a national health service is coming to the usa - get ready! stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  4. it seems pretty obvious to me that an inheritance tax is the fairest of them (the taxed individual is dead so it's not going to affect them much, if at all

  6. you're right - it may all go to china ...but it might not (and if it does all go to china isn't there the chance that it will swirl around there and then come back to the originating country a little later) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  7. at the moment nearly every economy in the world is trying to boost their money supply to fend off deflation - whatever the rate in an individual country increasing the minimum wage will increase the velocity of money (and therefore boost the money supply). why? - because they are the most likeliest economic group to quickly spend their income. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. so neither of you understand the concept of the velocity of money stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  10. this is my opening post: stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  11. i didn't mention either country with my op (the whole world is not the us) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  12. both your other links only give excerpts and neither addresses my points - the first of which is that regardless of marginal employment effects the result is less paid out through government benefits (because people are earning more). this will also result in a tax boost (as people spend their 'extra' money) do you understand the concept of the velocity of money? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  13. and another very strong example... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  14. works for... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_Foundation stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  15. i concede that just increasing the minimum wage to a stupid amount makes no sense - but just as interest rates have to be set to a sensible level the same with the minimum wage my op doesn't mention employment or unemployment - just less workers claiming government benefits stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  16. see post above stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  17. nope, increasing the minimum wage doesn't increase unemployment (tell me when you think it has) Every time manditory increases in the min wage have been implimented, thats when. now proven wrong. next! stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  18. if there is no increase in unemployment (not saying there is an increase in employment - depends upon the economic situation at the time) then those with an increased wage will make less demand on government benefits stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  19. so, you take from the poor? (a minimum of 10% you say) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  20. what do you think of my second point - that an increase in the minimum wage increases the demand to work by the local labour force (thus decreasing the demand for migrant labour) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  21. the titanic! stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  22. isn't there a 10% christian titheing structure somewhere in the bible? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  23. i think the israelis have assumed automatic victory (with us weapons) against the palestinians and provoke conflict. or perhaps you think otherwise
  24. nice little business scheme they had going here... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/07/juvenille-judges-cash-detention-centre stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
