If any of you know a politician, PLEASE, in the name of all that's Holy, share this post with them. I'm even going to try and limit the big words so they won't be confused. You see, WAY back when I was in school, we were taught a subject called mathematics, math for short. During the course of that, we were taught plus (+) and minus (-). HAD y'all taken math BEYOND fourth grade, and passed, you would have learned the minus (-) is not just "take away". It represents a NEGATIVE integer or quantity, as in " in the hole". WE were taught that banks and society do not appreciate that concept, and usually resulted in a bigger minus (-) after bounced check fees from merchants as well as banks not to mention the fines imposed when the courts and attorney's fees were added. We UNDERSTAND that the CONgressional bank allowed you to treat them like a slush fund, and plusses (+) and minuses (-) weren't important, but it's become time for you to learn that as well as a whole NEW concept for you. I promise it won't hurt you, and might even contribute to your economic stability ! There's two ways to approach life. You can either increase your income, or reduce your overhead. I understand you fail to comprehend (get) the latter, so let me try and explain it again another way. Rather than increase (raise) the minimum wage, why not decrease (lower) the cost of living? Raising the minimum wage only has a temporary effect until it affects prices across the board for everyone, including you. Taxes and fees escalate (go up) as well for ALL. When that happens, EVERYONE, including y'all, is back to being broke at a higher level, and in higher tax brackets. Remember when a bottle of Coke cost five cents? I do. Today? At least $1.50 in the machines. Had your predecessors (ones before you) figured this out, the cost of living today would be far less, kind of like it is in the rest of the world. You wouldn't have to give yourselves raises to keep up while leaving the rest of us behind. Prices could/would stay the same. Remember, when you retire with your Cadillac benefits package, it doesn't include your cushy expense account. Is that why y'all have different laws pertaining to insider trading? Just curious. Contemplate (think about) what I've said. Instead of "plussing" the minimum wage, "minus" the taxes and fees we're subjected (I know you know that word) to. That would be more in line with that "stability" thingie. If y'all would quit giving things away to people around the world, it would decrease (-) the amounts you take away (-) from us. Figuring out it costs more to support illegal immigrants (voters) than it does to finish the border wall would help, too. You'd actually get more people to vote/keep voting for you instead of having to bring in clueless new voters constantly to compensate for those who see your hollow promises ! Really ! Decrease (-) our overhead (costs) to keep y'all giving our money to STUPID. I swear, it works! Then, when y'all be ready to retire, that bottle of Coke might still be $1.50 instead of $5.00. Gas could drop to $1.50/gallon again, instead of $9.99 on sale. Food (the stuff that goes in our mouths) could decrease in price, allowing people to eat healthier (more gooder) and reduce obesity, decreasing (-) health care costs and premiums($). Feel free to contact me if this was over your head. I apologize. I just want to help y'all understand the concept ! P. S.- imposing travel restrictions on all Floridians just to keep Trump away from people is bad politics ! We see you !
