Sorry if during my rant I refered to anyone as an idiot, I’m not personaly upset with anyone here, just the situation. I work hard to be where I am, and I’m taxed to death, every day I here about crooked politics, and people scaming money. It drives me nuts, I’m not trying to get rich, just live a good life. I don’t feel the way out of this mess is through more politics, more comities, more goverment involvment. I think we need a reboot, just like my computer, when it gets screwed up, I reset factory settings. We need to go back to a small goverment, and start over. More than 60% of people right now make they’re living from the goverment, in some form, this isn’t a free society.
How can someone run for goverment, on a platform of less goverment spending, pulling back the size of the goverment, when 60%+ make they’re living from the goverment, you’ll never get elected on this platform. In Canada, nobody that works for the goverment makes less than 80 grand a year, including a bus driver. My wife works for the post office, and makes 30 bucks an hour, plus benifits, and pension.
Were going broke paying all these people, and then they’re pensions. People live forever now days. They work 30yrs, and then live for another 40yrs. We pay for this, cities are going bankrupt. The problem isn’t minum wage, we need to shrink the size of the goverment, privatize all these jobs, and loosen up the taxes, so the economy can grow, or say fuck it, let everyone work for the goverment, and go comunist. If you want to talk about real solutions, forget minum wage, jack minum wage, and it kills the economy, small buinesses die, or they jack the price of they’re goods, and then raising minum wage did nothing, because stuff just costs more.
Back where you started, we need less goverment, but we’ve past the point of no return, so they try to spend they’re way out of it, new policies, new comities. This costs money, taxes go up. The reason I can’t hire more people, or pay the ones I have more, has nothing to do with minum wage. It’s because more than half the money I make is taken through taxes. I want to hire a manager at the gym, I can’t afford it. The gyms a sucsess, I have 600+ members in a 5000sqft building, all my equipment is payed for, 600 x 40$ a month is 24000$ a month, less than 3000$ of that is mine to keep. Where does 21 thousand dollars a month go. 6 grand to my land lord, and the rest to the goverment. It breaks my heart, goverment is killing small buisness.
Anyway this rant was alittle more peacefull 
Nothing gets changed without discusion, and I didn’t mean to insult anyone the first time, but kids have to open they’re eyes. They’re liberal professors, filling they’re head with liberal idea’s of more goverment, more programs, more more more. Look around, there’s no small buisness left anymore, only big buisness, with big tax breaks, and loop holes. Big buisness doing hand shakes behind closed doors, donating to so and so’s campain. we need to get rid of the fat cats in office, find honest men, that want change.
I wish you could have seen what just happened, here in Toronto, when a hard working honest mayor, tried to do cut backs, wanted tro reduce the size of council form 44 to 22, they raped him in the media, the world now thinks he’s a crack head. Here, we know the truth, the first mayor in 50yrs to have a tax surplus 12 million, after 2yrs, just a normal hard working dude, getting shit done. The big wigs shut him down. I don’t know how we get out of this mess, but I don’t see raising minum wage, being anything but a short term band-aid. Sorry about ramble.
