Call me crazy, but forcing people to pay into these systems for their entire careers drastically extends how long they have to work before being able to afford retirement. https://t.co/JKfE1mdpLe
RT @RareCamellia: Ready to cry, watching my friend literally draw names from a hat to determine who gets to work at his restaurant tomorrow&
I went to cite the party platform to remind you the GOP doesn't support the minimum wage. But the RNC didn't bother to write one, so I'll cite Murray Rothbard: "In truth, there is only one way to regard a minimum wage law: it is compulsory unemployment, period." #DontBanJobs https://t.co/UdNIwglKuH
Next time unions shut down the local supermarket because striking cashiers want a 50 cent raise, try calling them domestic terrorists. I'm sure that'll go over well. https://t.co/uEmerTI8JD
Another example of why we need both occupational licensing and expungement reform. Regardless of your views on @mccloskeyusa and his wife, they were pardoned by @GovParsonMO. Taking away a person's ability to earn an income for an act they were legally absolved of is nuts. https://t.co/97nUcHrtPG
I'm actually okay with this. But only if we get rid of another one. We don't need to be giving government workers more days off on the taxpayer's dime. https://t.co/KMHCL5qLDJ
@AlSharaf17 @ThomasEWoods I'm calling on our governor to bring us back into special session so we can consider legislative action to protect workers in Missouri. In the meantime, I'm talking to everyone I can.
Sting operations for this?? Insane. "...officers will hire a handyman on the pretext of performing work that doesn't need a license, and then during the course of the job ask them to do something that does, like unhooking a toilet or laying some tiles." https://t.co/bFzLfNBDfw
Agreed, but how about a better kind of direct payment: paychecks. There's a quick way to get people back to work with a COVID relief bill: Withhold all Federal funding from any state that fails to prohibit lockdowns and forced business closures. https://t.co/jmTX6acYMY
