Terror Sweat posted:The taxes don't get raised all at once. They get raised over 10 years, I presume. Except no Congress can bind the actions of a future Congress, so even if this passes, it'll just get rewritten or repealed later when Congress decides jobs aren't important anymore.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Because we have so many government benefits for the poor they have no incentive to try and find work. You see, often getting a job would amount to a cut in pay and furthermore, Sadly, this is actually true in some places, as there are state level benefits that will cut off at stupidly low levels of income, like states that cut off Medicaid if you have $2000 in assets. There are 33 states that set the Medicaid income cap at under 100% of FPL, 15 at under 50%, and 2 at under 25%. FPL for a family of 3 was 18,310 in 2010. To be eligible for Medicaid in Arkansas, that family's income would have to be under $3112. (That's 429 hours at minimum wage - if you work 9 hours a week, you're over.) (It looks like most states at least set the CHIP level at 100% of FPL, so kids can still be covered, but gently caress adults, I guess.)

Toffile posted:Harper was already kinda famous before a reporter asked a devout Mormon about if he was going to drink. I don't even think the question had anything to do with him being Mormon, either, but was really about the fact the Nationals were playing in Canada where the drinking age is lower. (I didn't even know Bryce was Mormon.)

Hell, if you want a really simple argument against Joe Arpaio, it's that his office has paid out $43 million dollars in settlements. If you want to  CUT SPENDING then maybe a sheriff that gets constantly sued for killing people isn't the way to go.

I used to think Quora was interesting, but it's basically just a bunch of 20-something internet millionaires (or weird prodigies) patting each other on the back repeatedly. "What is some good career advice for someone just finishing college?" "As a 22-year-old CEO, let me just say..." "How should I save for retirement?" "As someone who just sold his third company, I've got some information..." "Where should I go to grad school?" "After going to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT, I can say..." Every once in a while, there's an interesting little tidbit, but it's mostly terrible.
