[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3261889, member: 56035"] no one job is quite enough for everyone. i dont think anyone should have to work more than 40 hours and i also think we should be working less since its been 75 years since the work week was legally lowered. i agree setting the min wage too high can have unintended consequences but the same can be said for not having one, or having one too low. lets not forget, even if you get the minimum wage exactly right, thats not saying much having a good portion of hte population working min wage. if i was gona have a mostly low paying service sector economy, then i would certainly want it worker controlled coops. the minimum income is an admirable reformist idea but is by no means a replacement to worker controlled cooperatives OR reducing consumerism. well we know america joined wwII late. FDR called mussolini `that admirable italian gentleman` i believe. and you did unnecessarily drop the atomic bomb which killed alot of civilians. post wwII america destroyed democracies around the world and installed dictators, and invaded countries like vietnam and iraq. i certainly dont believe america wanted democracy around the world, it doesnt even like it in its own country. you have society and government controlled by the rich and thats what it enforces around the world. thats interesting what you said about reparations, please tell me.
