Yea, but that's part of the calculus for choosing which employer you choose to work for. You can't have everything, so you choose where you want to sacrifice. I sacrifice work/life balance and low stress for providing income and insurance to my young family. That's been my choice. I don't begrudge the man who wants to live with his kids in a travel trailer and go do cool things all the time and live like a gypsy and free-lance for a living, but you will have to pay $1k for insurance. I don't understand why people think having high quality insurance, at a cheap price (or free), is a universal right. Which I guess is the crux of the issue and why it's politically dividing.
Or they'll go without insurance and you'll end up with part of the bill.

6 one way, half a dozen the other.
The point is, for middle class folks, it will be much much more taxing instead of using employer insurance.
And for the uninsured?

It is a sensational anecdote.
Facts are stuff is going to cost more. Jobs will be automated.

The biggest concern for me in the Min Wage fight is that all of these increases have embraced an "index to inflation" methodology. Which is all well and good while we are running at 1-2% inflation, but when the inflation beast roars there is no way legislative bodies will be able to act quick enough to deal with extremes. The short term shocks could really be enough to destroy businesses.
The Fed has the inflation beast under control. They'll strangle the economy if they have to. Inflation hasn't been an issue for 40 years.

I have been a fan of his since his bow tie days. He has the right message when it comes to curbing illegal immigration and he hates neocons just like me. I was a Pat Buchanan supporter when I was in college when he was considered fringe. His views are finally ascendant in the GOP. Tucker can help kill Bush/Romney wing of the GOP once and for all. If I was going to start a 3rd party, I’d get guys like Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, Raheem Hassan and others I respect and admire to create a working class based party that would hammer home the need to curb immigration sharply in exchange for things like a public buy in health insurance option , better wages and better social cohesion. Need an articulate voice like Tucker to make it happen. Can’t have free health care with a horde of illegals. It’s one or the other.
How would it be free?

For one, "M4A is untenable / un-workable".Â
Reasonable Immigration reform, but not insane ideas on either side of the spectrum.
A heart for poor people and outrageous costs of schools and real estate, but nothing insane like free college for all and raise taxes for free apartments or whatever else insane people want.
Nonsense.

Howard Shultz is an attractive candidate and one I'd definitely vote for. No BS, no joking around, nothing. He is the personification of huge brained centrist, which I love.Â
The fact that Luke Crywalkers in [Enter Clever name] local bookstore are sad and heckling and thinks that Shultz will help re-elect Trump shows you that there is an unfulfilled need/market for what Shultz is representing. How about make your party more attractive and do better to win an election instead of trying to shout down someone with a valid platform and good ideas? How un-democratic is that?
What are his good ideas?

what percentage had become citizens when voting?
No idea. Secretary of State doesn't seem to know, either: Sam Taylor, spokesman for the Texas secretary of state's office, said they were "very confident" the citizenship data obtained by the Texas Department of Public Safety was current.Â

There is no data do determine the proportions.
Is there any data to support anything you're saying in this thread?

Has texashammer figured out yet that the 58,000 in the thread title could have been citizens by the time they voted?

13% of noncitizens ACTUALLY ADMIT TO VOTING!!! No evidence though. None. Not even a scintilla.
"This bi-lingual national survey of 800 Hispanics was conducted from June 5th through June 16th, 2013. Interview selection was within predetermined census units of Hispanic adults. 560 interviews were conducted via landline telephone by professional interviewers. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented with 240 interviews, 30 %, conducted via internet of cellphone only users. 64% of all respondents use cell phones. 60% of all interviews were conducted in Spanish. 93% of all respondents speak at least some Spanish at home. These samples were then combined and structured to correlate with actual adult Hispanic census population. This poll of 800 Hispanic adults has an accuracy of +/- 3.4% at a 95% confidence interval. Within the sample, 470 of the Hispanic adults are also registered voters. For this subsample the accuracy is +/- 4.5% at a 95% confidence interval."
Good job.

The premise of his campaign is based on a myth. Independents are not really independent. They are actually partisan.Â

So you know we really don't care about democracy or free market capitalism if not doing so suits our interests.

The Venezuelan people are starving and would take a US puppet over the shit they have now. Other than Maduro’s political cronies, his regime has no base of popular support. We would be negligent in our role as the historically dominant force in the Americas if we did not try to help the Venezuelans get rid of Maduro with everything we have other than using our troops. Amazes me how the left will bitch about the US using our diplomatic and economic heft to promote the American way of free market capitalism and democracy while agitating for sanctions against stalwart American allies like Gen Sisi in Egypt. Laughable shit. At least we Republicans are consistent. Order, security and capitalism with a window dressing concern for human rights and democracy.
It's amazing that you believe we actually do that. Do you want to start listing the authoritarian regimes we support so long as it's in our national interest?

What's your plan ? Â
The nationalization of the countries varied industries didn't work.  You agree or disagree ?
Do we give aid to a gov't to help alleviate the suffering, which the gov't caused  ?
Stay out of it and keep an eye on things?

I'd say it's borderline. You might as well identify as Millennial, because Gen X might as well not exist as a marketing audience.
Now if you find the notion that you're an audience that can be marketed to offensive, you're at least somewhat Gen-X.
Thank you baby Jesus and spot on. Bill Hicks was 100% correct about the advertising industry.
