the media here decided to mention the charges, just buried it in the story. if one wants to argue that this is meaningless then they wouldn't have been included at all.

the word warrant is mentioned nowhere in the NYT article, yet the police who confronted Blake knew there was a warrant.

Whatever they want. Why are you all for anything that let’s them have more bc moving money benefits everyone but always against actions that result in any of it being moved to the working class? What do you think they do with it?

I advocate taxing the wealthy to the hilt.

And why not? It is pure human nature — I am simply looking for ways to benefit me and the ones who matter to me (and I presume the wealthy are doing the same).

when the percentages they pay in pale compared to the average Joe, there's a problem

but as we know, the very people making the decisions are in the group....whose percentages pale compared to the average Joe

You are partly correct…see the bolded portion. Everyone means…well, everyone.

Put in a national sales tax on everything for everyne. No exceptions for churches, schools, hospitals, non-profits…everyone pays.

No Deductions.

Add a luxury sales tax for excessive items that only the rich can buy…yachts, jets, absurd homes, ridiculous jewelry etc.

Seems easy enough to me.

Great idea. It would affect everyone that still had a job. Of course, many more would not have one of those jobs,

Well that would only happen if people up top are trying to hoard money instead of move money.

Let's move money.

Yup. It was actually a good post by sluggo.

People consistently seem to think raising the minimum wage will resolve so many economic issues. It won't. It will have a negative effect on job growth as well as the ability of many small businesses to remain open. On top of that it would increase inflation and make American made products less viable in the international market.

That's not to say there shouldn't be changes/increases in the minimum wage, just that a big jump would have more negative effects than people think. For example, if someone is making $10/hr and the minimum is raised to $15, it's not just their wage that would need to be raised. The domino effect would ripple upward.

Just like the emphasis to get everyone health care has been stronger than figuring out why health care costs as much as it does, raising minimum wage to get more people so-called living wages shouldn't preclude figuring out ways why the cost of living is as high as it is.
