No, check your reading comprehension - the idiot socialists are demanding a "living wage" for everyone, working or no. Just for filling a bong all day... I suppose they think the money (and the goods they get with it) will just be made out of thin air? And who would write textbooks if they cant sell them. Or if they all textbooks are deemed of equal worth, then why would anyone strive to wtrite a better textbook. Im not going to waste too much time shooting your illogic full if holes, shooting fish in a barral gets boring fast quote:
ORIGINAL: wittynamehere quote:
ORIGINAL: Sanity "Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment." Why even go to school? Why care about education and why worry about employment if you're demanding "a guaranteed living wage"? "Demand number four: Free college education." Why? Why do you need free college education? If you're gonna get a living wage and you don't have to work, why go to college? These kids really do deserve their college tuition money back, I am afraid... but not for the reasons they seem to believe. You discredit yourself with almost every post you make. You would be better off just not opening your mouth, honestly. First of all, why did you get your info from Rushlimbaugh.com? Why not get it from the source? Is Rushlimbaugh.com more reliable at giving you information than the source of the information itself? Of course not. Get your info from the source, I can't stress this enough. The talking heads are there to divide and confuse, and they've done a good job on you. As for "demand three", living wage doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. A person earning a LIVING wage works forty hours a week, with no additional income, and is able to afford a specified quality and quantity of housing, food, utilities, transport, health care, and recreation." In other words, if you work full time, you should be able to get your basic needs met. Personally I disagree with demand three, if they mean they want the government to provide this for them. The government's role is outlined in the Constitution, and providing citizens with a living wage isn't part of the deal. But I do agree that if a person puts forth significant labour, time, effort, ingenuity, etc they shouldn't be going hungry or homeless. In fact, if everybody (or almost everybody) were to put those things forth, nobody would be going hungry or homeless, but that's another topic. As for "demand four", I disagree with this one as well, assuming they are demanding the government provide it. That said, a proper education could certainly be free. The internet could have every college textbook uploaded to it and accessible by every person on the planet, for free. This would cost almost nothing to do. I'm not saying that's the answer, but I'm saying it would go a long way in the right direction, which is that education and knowledge should be free. Why companies need to make money off it is beyond me. Sure, that helps the companies get rich, but does it serve the 99%? But back to your post, "the kids" (half of whom are long past college years) didn't demand their fees back, so your post can be labeled "strawman" and tossed out. Debate the actual points, or you lose the discussion automatically. By the way, great work bashing those who are fighting for you, knowing full well you'll never comprehend it.
