    No they don't.

    What theory of justice says companies are required to pay a certain minimum hourly wage?

    seems to me we've had one for a while.

    You have posted absolutely no evidence to support this idiocy.

    No that is something that HAS to be run by the government but the government certainly does a poor job running it as far as spending the money goes.

    See this article. Would You Pay to Go Into Space? - TIME
    $200,000 for each person to go to space via private company.

    And this article - NASA - Space Shuttle and International Space Station
    It claims "The average cost to launch a Space Shuttle is about $450 million per mission."

    LMAO! 62 miles up? LMAO!!! How many $200,000. People are going on this looney 10 minute ride? About 100,000 of them. Too FUnny Dude!!

    hurricane-watch satellite mission cost $290 million.
    missile-warning satellite cost $682 million.
    satellite launch $50 million and $400 million.

    EDUCATION -
    It's laughable that you would even consider arguing public education as an example of a successful government program. Remember No Child Left Behind? The huge education disaster? And Joe Biden claimed that the program was fine, it just needed MORE funding? The fact is, it costs less to go to private school per year than what the government spends per student per year, and you get a better education.
    You have shown me no failure of education, unless you want to admit your a moron. Too Funny Dude!!!



    MILITARY-
    You guys love to use the military when it suits you and demonize it when it doesn't. Only problem - there is no competition for the military. In fact, our military is a force provided for by the Constitution, so it really has no place in this discussion.
    Why of course it does. Government does well. Government = America.
    Too funny dude!!


    VETERAN AFFAIRS -
    That must be why the government decided that any veteran that could access private health care first would be required to do so before seeking care from the VA?
    Never heard that, and I have been with the VA since 1968.




    POST OFFICE -
    Yep, that's working out well. They might stop delivering mail on Saturday and they are cutting around 30,000 jobs. Why? Because private business has a better service for less money.
    That is not true dude. We played the less money game, $5.00 to pick up an envelope. Too Funny Dude!!!!!!!!


    HIGHWAY SYSTEM -
    Yep, every time I pass by a highway construction site and I see 8 guys, 2 of whom are working, I really celebrate at the efficient use of my tax dollars.
    So you use highways and no compliants. Too funny Dude. You have been soundly defeated on every point, and I only needed to do it on 1 point. "name one..."

    where is the middle class if everyone makes starvation wages? what incentive does the capitalist have to pay more than starvation wages?
