Fifty Cent Names For Minimum Wage Legislation

Posted by M. C. on September 19, 2015

New York and left coast cities are having a high old-time with the minimum wage and deciding how much to make it.

Much legislation has a catchy name associated with it. This is to make the legislation appear less vile and disgusting. The patriot act comes to mind. Here are a couple catchphrases for prospective minimum wage legislation.

The pump your own forever gas bloating guarantee act.

The self checkout lane expansion food for thought act.

The robotics engineering acceleration act. Danger! Danger!

The drive thru only/ATM bank branch multiplier act.

The unskilled black youth unemployment act.

Global Warming As A Wealth Redistribution Tool and The Anti-Trinity

Posted by M. C. on March 17, 2015

Wealth redistribution: Stealing money you worked hard to earn and giving it to someone who didn’t.

Environmentalism sprung from the early 20th century progressive movement. The same people who gave us the minimum wage, Jim Crow and family “planning”. See here.

Progressivism was designed to put the screws to those deemed a threat. First it was the low wage tolerant immigrant who would take work and prosperity away from WASPs. Minimum wage was to take care of that problem. Jim Crow specifically targeted the black man.. Parallel to this was family planning as espoused by Margret Sanger. Those whom we call challenged today were considered a drain on society. Abortion and sterilization were cures to that societal malady.

Out of this evolved the environmental movement where man in general was the bad guy. Man, the earth’s parasite according to David Attenborough.

Walter Williams reminds us here of the “settled” science of global warming where not so long ago the great fear was the coming ice age. Read the rest of this entry »

Minimum Wage – The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

Posted by M. C. on November 22, 2014

Early 20th century Progressives and eugenicists were concerned about the quality of life. Mostly theirs. The so-called “inferior” and “low wage” races at that time were the Irish, Eastern Europeans, Italians, blacks and Chinese. Their willingness to work for less and for longer hours combined with high birth rates raised fear in WASP circles. Progressive pioneer Theodore Roosevelt coined a term for allowing this to continue – “Race Suicide”. Read the rest of this entry »

What Do Eugenics, Environmentalism, Gun Control, Progressives, Jim Crow and The Minimum Wage Have in Common?

Posted by M. C. on January 28, 2013

Gun control was started to keep the black man down.

They are all wrapped up like a pile of baby snakes.

Weapon control has been around for a long time. It was recognized long ago that people control is impossible without it. The art of the empty hand, karate, came about because the Japanese peasant was denied weapons. It made being the emperor’s enforcer much safer and more lucrative. The bow was used to carry water buckets, the nunchako was an ox’s bit and rein. Necessity is the mother. In modern times American Indians were the problem. They impeded progress. A lot of money would have been wasted o food and clothing if they had been provided as promised. An Indian joke says that General Custer advised the Bureau of Indian Affairs to do nothing until he got back and they haven’t. When Indians got uppity about eating and freezing they had to be put in their place fast. No laws or warrants were needed to disarm them. The government just killed them wherever they were found. See On the Border with Crook for graphic examples. No due process was required. The same as Wounded Knee …and Ruby Ridge, Waco and drone attacks. “Legal” gun control, for blacks, began in the post war of session South. The last thing the black man needed was a gun. Washington and the KKK made sure of that wouldn’t happen. It wasn’t spelled out specifically but with a wink and a nod everyone knew gun laws were directed at blacks. The main plank in the progressive platform is the government is the know all and be all. The individual cannot manage by their self. Control is everything. The armed individual is intolerable.
