Well, your examination was quite solid, @Torvarren. Another thing to consider is greater efficiency in markets within the U.S., translating to lower cost of consumer goods and services and CPI. So, not only is the population living in poverty within the U.S. considered middle-class within the E.U., but their dollar also goes much further.

It's how generations of our people have been trained to react to Westerners.

Problem is actually what useful idiots do with their speakers @Jeremy

I tell you the truth cause I live with it.

Poleznye idioty?

When you have a bunch of people on handouts they tend to defend the one giving them the handouts.

I firmly hold my point that he is just alternative account for Ninja

This leads to the sickness of society called socialism.

Indeed, Yord.

I can't say I'm familiar with this terminology, @ryvergate. Perhaps you may enlighten me.

Actually if you looks at it like that the reality of the matter is that it's kind of mutually beneficial relationship that screws the normal hard working people twofold.

Who is this "Ninja" you speak of, Ryver?

Certainly, as always is the case, @yordanyordanov.

On one hand you have those rich people who are willign to give the handouts in order to secure for themselves political power,

An issue we have in the U.S.

On the other the lazy poors who are willing to trade their asses off for a pice of cake for no money.

And the worst is it is beneficial for both sides and worst off for everybody else.

This was another metric I calculated, I assigned a score based on minimum wage divided by cost of living and sorted the results. Missouri just passed $12 minimum wage to be in effect in a few years.

Absolutely, Yord.

Problem is these type of people think they get food for free by selling out their asses to whomever offers them the most.

They are actually happy to be croocked.

If that was the correct word.

I mean the rich con them into submission and they thank them for that.

Oh, no, that's terrible, @Torvarren. That'll drain economic development from the districts without economic scale on their side, but I suppose that'll continue to force people to move into urban areas, making for greater efficiency. Trade-offs. I still despise barriers to entry, regardless.

And the border areas will have people from neighboring states wanting those city jobs.

Indeed.

There is exactly the same example in Islam, do you know what is zakat?

It is essentially charity but in the name of religion.

This level of Minimum wage hike in Missouri is equal to if California jumped to an $18.15/hour minimum wage.

I think what socialists and islamists do here is remarkably similar.

They essentially *buy off* the population by giving a *free ride* to the poor.

But one do it for faith, the other-for ideology.

That's certainly a large contributor to the issue, as you said, willing to sell their asses, @yordanyordanov. That's why Republics structured by Federalism are best, preserving itself against these degenerative tendencies that unfold in democracies.

However, it works just the same-if you want that nice free ride, please, convert.

Socialism or islam-it doesn't matter, the result is the same.

When Dave Rubin had Tulsi on, he had to explain to her what the Welfare trap is. That people can't afford to get raises or get a promotion because they lose government benefits.

@Jeremy The problem is how do you fight it?

I know, @Torvarren. My uncle is a Supreme Court justice for the State of Missouri, and my father was born there, himself. I've got a lot of small-business family from Sikeston to East Prairie. These hikes are going to decimate the micro-economies of their towns.
