Perhaps you could elucidate. I know you think that just because Trump got elected it instantly improved unemployment. But overall, the overall civilian labor force participation rates haven't improved according to the BLS. https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-lab
or-force-participation-rate.htm And though the Brookings Institute has a different message about a limited population, it has figures not found in the raw BLS breakdown. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2018/08/02/the-rec
ent-rebound-in-prime-age-labor-force-participation/ Meanwhile, Forbes indicates even less participation that the BLS. https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2018/05/05/sur
e-unemployment-went-down-because-the-number-of-people-working-did/ Meanwhile, the WSJ reports a persistently long-term lower participation rate with only insignificant variation (I assume they got their numbers from the BLS). https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/august-2018-jobs-report

What do you make of these figures?

Rights: Full Constitutional protections EXCEPT in immigration matters, in which case violations will be tried in civil court
Consequences: fines, jail time, or deportation

See what I mean? That way, if you can do a cross-column comparison you won't accidentally wind up benefiting one "lesser" category over another one.

Let's get something done instead of assigning blame. We have been slowly falling behind as we continue to argue among ourselves. The greedy get richer, while the rest of us suffer in silence. Let's start by righting the ship, then focus on upgrading our infrastructure. Who the fuck gives a shit who rebuilds the country, it's all to our mutual benefit. Stop listening to and believing the scumbags who say that this country is being invaded.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) became a favorite target of conservative trolls after winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2018. The freshman lawmaker was subjected to a number of false rumors, most of which focused on her inexperience (at age 29 she was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress), her financial status (she was a bartender before running for election), or, inexplicably, her dance moves.

On 16 January 2019, a day after Ocasio-Cortez announced that she would be joining the House Financial Services Committee, Facebook user Donn Johnson posted a message alleging that Ocasio-Cortez was an ill fit for this position and claimed, without evidence, that she had had two checking accounts closed, that she had been the subject of two “sheriff evictions,” and that her credit score was a lowly 430:

Although this message was posted without any evidence to support its claims, many viewers accepted its unverified information as fact and spread it around Facebook. The rumor was also picked up by an army of Twitter trolls who continued to parrot the claim as if it were based on some sort of credible reporting:

Repeating this claim over and over again, however, did not make it true.

We encountered several dozen accounts spreading this rumor, yet not a single one pointed to any sort of news report, interview, financial record, witness statements, or anything else even slightly resembling evidence. In addition to a lack of evidence, it should be noted that it is highly unlikely that Johnson, a security officer living in Florida, would have access to information regarding Ocasio-Cortez’s credit score, as this information cannot be obtained by a third party without written consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Johnson claimed that Ocasio-Cortez had been evicted from her home twice with the help of a sheriff’s office. We did a background check on the congresswoman and found no mention of such an incident, no court cases tied to her living arrangements, and no irregularities in her housing history.

She was a rising political star in 2018. As such, a number of news outlets published profiles about her that detailed Ocasio-Cortez’s upbringing, her education, and her political motivations. We examined several of these stories and also found no mention of her alleged “sheriff evictions,” closed bank accounts, or low credit score.

Fox News, for instance, published an article headlined “Who is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? 5 things to know about the New York congresswoman.” That article briefly went into Ocasio-Cortez’s financial history and stated that, rather than facing evictions and account closures, she worked multiple jobs to help support her family after the death of her father:

She grew up in the Bronx and helped support her family after the death of her dad.

'Born in the Bronx, Ocasio-Cortez was raised by a mother from Puerto Rico and a father who was a small business owner. After her father passed away from cancer in 2008, Ocasio-Cortez worked two jobs in the restaurant industry to help her family make ends meet.

After returning to the Bronx after college, Ocasio-Cortez pushed for greater childhood education and literacy, according to The New York Times. She also started a publishing company that produced books portraying the Bronx in a positive manner, The New York Daily News reported in 2012.'

Her upbringing also helped her foray into politics, she told Elite Daily.

In general, we found nothing indicating financial irresponsibility in Ocasio-Cortez’s background, whose April 2018 Financial Disclosure Report detailed a modest amount of assets and income, but also no liabilities other than a federal student loan. We also note that low credit scores potentially attach not only to persons who have poor credit histories (i.e., numerous late or unpaid debts), but to those persons who simply have not built up their scores through means such as taking out credit-building loans and using credit cards.

Washington Post blogger Glenn Kessler has had his ego wounded over the past few months because his style of amateurish fact–checking has been mocked by a number of public figures, most prominently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Because Kessler’s blog is mostly a place for him to work out his personal beefs, he has decided to frequently accuse AOC of lying when she isn’t.

The most recent example of this behavior was yesterday when Kessler awarded the congresswoman three Pinocchios on his inscrutable truth scale for making the following remark:

I think it’s wrong that (1) a vast majority of the country doesn’t make a living wage, I think it’s wrong that (2) you can work one hundred hours and not feed your kids. I think it’s wrong that (3) corporations like Walmart and Amazon can get paid by the government, essentially experience a wealth transfer from the public, for (4) paying people less than a minimum wage.

Kessler concedes that (2) is accurate. But he says the other three claims are inaccurate. But they really aren’t.

If anything, I would say that (2) is the only technically inaccurate one. At least if it was worded "100 hours in a week", which it isn't. Kind of foggy on the message there. Did she mean 100 hours in a month? A year?

If you were making the national minimum wage and worked 100 hours a week, your take home pay for the month would be $2,900.00 minus taxes. Unless you're absolutely terrible with money, you shouldn't have any problems feeding your kids. The problem here though is you're doing a TON of extra work for The Man here, and now you've lost all of your government benefits, likely including any medical care assistance you were getting for your kids, and now you're probably going to get a substantial decrease in the EIC payout for any kids you have as well. (I'd have to check the charts in the 1040 Instructions to verify that).

And who is watching those kids while you're working 100 hours a week and trying to fit in maybe 25 hours of sleep if you're lucky? Are they working for free?


(4) is true, with two caveats. People who waitress/buss are legally paid under minimum wage and rely on your tips, and illegals get paid less than minimum wage. TIP YOUR SERVICE PEOPLE!


Number (1) is certainly true, and is made worse because of the illegal part of Number (4).

Number (3) is the most true on the list. Most employees that work at a Wal-Mart or Amazon or anywhere making part time money with no benefits and don't have a second job are on food stamps, medicaid or some form of Obamacare, receive energy assistance and can actually double their takehome pay by getting up to $12k per year in EIC credits depending on the number of kids they have.

There have been news articles that Wal-Mart will give all of their new part time employees all of the information and training they need to get on these programs. I can't speak for that myself, having never worked there. I will say that K-Mart didn't even do that though. Not that I am giving any credit to K-Mart here though... They just absolutely don't give a shit at all about their employees and don't have the time or money to even bother doing this while in their death throws.

I'd actually say of all the crazy shit that comes out of her mouth, we are in total agreement about numbers (3) and (1).

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Nope.

Minimum wage is $7.25. I would reckon you won't find a single person in the entire country that is getting paid minimum wage that is full time. Not only does this mean that they don't get any benefits or health insurance, but in many cases after the ACA was enacted, they can't even get 30 hours a week on the regular, otherwise their employer would be forced to provide them with health insurance.

Somebody making minimum and working 100 hours a week would be required to hold down 3 jobs to get those hours. Last I checked, your employer doesn't give a shit how many hours you've worked at your other job(s).

For #2, I agree it is inaccurate. At Dollar Tree, a week's worth of jam can be purchased, as well as peanut butter, loaf of bread. $3 per kid could prevent a week of hunger. $6 or $9 per week could likely stuff a kid, although boring fare lacking variety. A can of fruit and can of veg per day adds maybe $15 per kid per week from the grocery store. A $5 already cooked chicken can stuff a kid for days, so maybe add $10 per week, if $5 doesn't make it. Starting with $23 per week as a baseline, further food for your kids starts cutting into your Cable/Internet package, your hair extensions and manicure, stiletto collection, etc.

I'll add for clarification here that I never said that the Government was giving payments directly to Amazon or WalMart. That would be a lie if I did say that, since they aren't.

You hate food stamps though. So I would think it would bother you that most people working part time shit jobs at WalMart and Amazon receive them. EIC is an unspoken Welfare payout that equals up to $3,000 per child, per year up to 4 children. Even easier to get on than the food stamps in most states is expanded medicaid, and you're usually put on that list when you apply for food stamps. If you qualify for food stamps, you certainly qualify for medicaid.

There is no direct payouts to these companies, but your tax dollars as a middle class worker goes to subsidize the livelihood of millions of American working class that do not get livable wages otherwise.

Yup.




EDITED TO UPDATE TO NEW TAX LAWS:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

I'm looking at page 55 right now. It looks as though you only max out at 3 children now, and the maximum payout caps off at $6,431 for three children if your gross pay is between $14,250 and $18,650.

I'd never checked it back when the woman I knew told me she was getting $12,000 for 4 kids, so she might have been exaggerating or been uninformed when she told me that. This would have been around 5 years ago now.

Still though, that is the exact definition of a government subsidy. She wouldn't get any of that money if she didn't work a shitty, part time job, but because she did and she had more than 3 kids (assuming she worked last year), she will have recieved a $6,431 tax credit for having worked.

That's not a deduction. That is a check written out to her for $6,431 above whatever her normal return would have been.



I'm not even arguing against it on any principal. Kids aren't cheap to pay for and raise. That money is probably keeping them off the streets and out of the gang life.

My point here is that because she didn't get paid enough money while working to raise those kids without assistance at her shitty part time near minimum wage job, you ended up helping her raise her kids with your tax dollars.

In fact, it works out even BETTER for Bezos and the Walton family in the end. Because they aren't directly being cut a check, they don't have to pay any taxes on it. They get the government subsidized labor absolutely tax free.
