So what you're saying is, I have absolutely no evidence of what I'm saying, so all I can do is claim that your ideas are wrong, for which you have given no evidence. Like I said originally, on slashdot, you don't need to have facts or logic, you just get to make stuff up.
If you can provide a clear, reasonable arguement, backed up with evidence then I'll consider it, otherwise you're just full of BS.
If you had actually thought about Descarte, you would realize that on the surface it appears that he is proving the existance of God, while he is really saying that there is no God.

>Increasing the wages of poor workers increases aggregate demand for goods. Increasing demand means increasing revenues -- your model assumes that a person making $12/hour consumes the same as a person making $6/hour -- very dubious.
Assuming that increasing the wages of poor workers increases demand, an unsupported judgement, increasing demand will increase revenue, however, you neglect the fact that revenue means nothing to a business, it's profit they care about, and if the company has to pay more for each worker, they will charge more per good, negating some or all of the benefits of increasing the minimum wage. The only other way to maintain profit levels is to have less workers, and I doubt many would think more unemployment is better than lower wages.
>Further, your model implies that all workers are either making minimum wage or some fixed multiple of the minimum wage. Also dubious.
My model says no such thing.
>Worse, your model equates the labor market of the consuming population with the total labor market available to producers. This is obviously false.
In order to consume something, it must be paid for, and in order to pay, the person buying the good must have a job. So it's obvious that the consumer population = total labor market - unemployed.
>All raising the minimum wage will do is increase the rate at which money cycles.
Pure BS. It increases prices, decreasesd employment, as well as many factors that are difficult to quantify. Economics is not a cut and dry field, and anyone who tries to make it seem that way is a fool.
>I yawn at your Econ 101 gallons of milk.
Maybe cause it doesn't fit in with your made up economics?
I hereby nominate that provolt's Law should be the quality of slashdot is directly proportional to the number of hot grits and naked and petrified posts.
I'll go through this slowly.
If the minimum wage is raised, the company has to pay its workers more. If it has to pay its workers more, than it will raise its prices to maintain its previous level of profit. Therefore, the workers still pay the same percentage of their salary, only instead of $2 for a gallon of milk, it's $3.
Like I said, on slashdot you get to make up your own economics.
Ah, beautiful slashdot. Where you get you to make up economics, politics and many other subjects to fit your personal agenda. It's just like in English class, only I'm not paying 20 bucks an hour and the moderators smoke less crack than my professor.
>Nowhere in the constitution do i see the rights you discuss given to the federal government.
Did you even read the parent poster's post? Let me quote it for you "The 14th amendment gives Congress the power to tax, and gives no restriction on its use." Ah, so it comes from the 14th amendment! And what does the 14th amendment amend? The constitution!
Ok, I see your point, numimatics is a hobby of mine so what's rare to you is something I would consider "merely" uncommon. And working in retail 4 year, ouch. A year cashiering at OfficeMax was almost enough to drive me mad.
Extremely rare?
As of 1999 there were over a billion dollars worth of $2 bills in circulation worldwide. http://www.snopes.com/business/money/twodollar.asp, I'd harldy consider that rare, as well as the fact that you can ask for them at a bank. Even silver coinage isn't rare, I usually get at least one per week. I'd consider rare something like this: http://coins.to/ccdollars.html
Let's review the facts: 1. Gamer plays steam game on computer 2. Valve stops supporting steam 3. The interweb was created to facilitate mass efficient distribution of warez and porn
So, from 1 and 2 We see that the gamer now has a problem playing his steam game. But wait! We have 3, which allows us to get warez to play our game again! Oh frabjous day, callou, callay!
Seriously, if you can't find warez on the internet, then you probably have other more pressing problems than playing a videogame, like learning that it's a bad idea to put forks in electrical outlets.
>I talked with a member of the Waterloo team and they were getting a couple of class credits for being on the team, which is something our school couldn't give. It wasn't considered appropriate -should we then give credits to someone in athletic studies for being a member of a school athletic team?
That's a invalid analogy. If you're a CS student, and you're participating in a programming contest, that's directly applicable to your major, much like if you were a journalism student and wrote for the school paper. If a university offered a degree in basketball, then by all means, I would definately agree that being on the team deserves class credit.
Yeah, I hear you. I had some nuclear waste with a bad disposition, always mouthing off to me, never doing its chores. I'll tell you, I'm firmly NIMBY now.
I have a proof but the comment box is too small to contain it. If you could send it to:
Olusegun Obasanjo
7, Mambilla Street, Off Aso Drive Maitama District, Abuja Nigeria
I would be able to send it next day.
Thank you.
QM and GR are both proven. However, this is not the same as a math proof. With science, proving something means attacking it in so many different ways, and having it still produce valid results constitutes a proof, unlike a math proof that is 100% true based on pure logic.
I'm pretty sure that all the increases in productivity spawned by the widespread use of computers with Windows has allowed many times the donations beforehand. However, just throwing money at a social problem is *always* doomed to failure, give a man a fish and all.
