Where are you on the political compass?

My political compass tends to be pointing in a B direction for Bored or Burnt Out.

I do think that every American worker that works 40 hours each week should be payed at least 25 thousand a year including a good health care plan paid for by their employers ( if you're part time the hours from your jobs should be added together so that if you're working 40 hours a week at different jobs that should count towards the total of 40). And that it should be illegal to raise the prices on goods and services from where they are now purely to take advantage of workers finally receiving a Living Wage.

Also hoping the Religious Conservatives never make a comeback.

And then all you get is shortages and rations. Learn economics. Prices settle at an equilliberium of supply and demand. Prices forced too low will result in shortages, prices forced too high will result in oversupply.

People that work 40 hours each week should have decent healthcare packages and enough money to either enjoy themselves by being able to send their hard earned money on enjoyable leisure activities or enough time and money to send themselves to school or some type of training program to better themselves rather than having to be the wage slaves that they are now.  It keeps employees happier, their morale up, and it makes them more productive than the current model of make your pitiful $15,000  a year, pay for the company's crappy insurance plan, and then come nack and work your back breaking, soul destroying job again tomorrow.

If the employers can afford to buy 4 or 5 houses and 2 or 3 Jaguars a year, then the employees should at least be able to buy their families nice Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, to take their kids to the movies or somewhere nice every weekend, to be able to buy them nice presents for Christmas ( like the latest video game consoles ), and to be able to afford decent automobiles when they need them  $25,000.00 with prices for goods and services as they are now would allow them to do most of that rather than the current models in place at McDonald's and Wal~Mart.
