    only lousy capitalists get punished like that.

    Good capitalists promote the general welfare until we achieve our own, Republic of Heaven on Earth.

    we really just need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, unemployment compensation for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States, and Industrial Automation to help with social costs.

    Not cheap enough to offset the social and economics of a foreign migrant invasion

    Its very simple operation

    You line the outer edges of your yard with thin copper wire buried just below the srrfave

    A relatively primative electronic circuit senses the wire and randomly reverses direction till it senses another boundry

    A little slower than mowing it by human control but a whole lot more fun

    Ridiculous. Car payments, college education, home ownership etc are all 'luxuries'. No one NEEDS those things. A living wage is one that keeps you alive (fed and sheltered), nothing more.

    But more importantly - you're trying to quantify the length of a piece of string. The cost of all those things for one family, will be COMPLETELY different to the costs for the next family.

    Yes, the further away you get from a broad culture of social obligation to behave and be responsible - the more poverty you will see. It's psych 101, Dear. When you add in the easy money of the First World, it's not even a tiny bit surprising.

    Meantime, there is no actual poverty in America, or almost none. If an individual is doing even one of the following, they are not poor:

    smoke cigarettes
    drink alcohol
    do drugs
    obtain tattoos
    buy fast food
    buy coffee
    buy new clothes

    And the most miserable will be the kids who thought they wanted it. They are spoiled 'individualists', looking for a free lunch without strings.

    solving simple poverty is a left wing agenda.

    If that is the Left's agenda, why in hell aren't they doing something about it? And no, I'm not talking about bandaids, I'm talking about FIXING it.

    That's a bandaid (and a terrible one, at that). What is the left doing about PREVENTING the problem? Because if they genuinely care, preventing it is what must be done. Unless you're saying they don't really care that people keep falling into poverty, and just want the poor folk to shut up and go away?

    That solves for simple poverty, provides a cost of living adjustment for Labor; so even the poor can afford to get social and embrace.

    What You have is right wing fantasy with no supporting evidence in the ordinary world.
