o Is raising Minimum Wage a good or bad way to help low income people/families?
Megan Markley: “yes because if low income families are in such a slump that they can’t work outside of minimum wage then it should be raised”
*Robert Gaetan: “Raising minimum wage is deceptively altruistic. given the relatively high numbers of families relying on minimum wages, raising it could over burden businesses, also there is no way of directing that extra minimum wage cash flow into beneficial areas of the economy or to things that alleviate poverty like contraception or education.”
o Is outsourcing (jobs moving to other countries) a good or bad thing for US citizens?
Megan Markley: “outsourcing is a bad thing for citizens because the unemployment rate is too high as it is and it would be putting more people out of work”
*Robert Gaetan: “ I find that outsourcing tends to attract non innovation labor, that cheap labor can stultify the march of scientific advancement via business venture. In the same way that Rome suffered from its major presence of slaves. The best of man comes from his need to innovate under restrictions”
o Is the Unemployment Rate too high?
Megan Markley: “yes unemployment has gotten worse since the economic crisis started”
*Robert Gaetan” At anypoint below full employment we are under employed that’s just coming from my leftist communist grandfather background. At any point where you have a segment of the population that is out of work u have the potential for social problems”
o Does Greed, overall, make a society better or worse off?
Megan Markley: “worse because people are more concerned about getting themselves ahead and focusing on their needs above other peoples”
*Robert Gaetan: “ I have heard the argument that elites chasing money expands business more than anything else can. I am unconvinced after seeing my family in Russia having their standard of living substantially lowered after the oligarch era started. While greed makes the acquisition of wealth greater in importance a more less cut throat model than seen in Russia is what I would defend.”
o Do you make rational decisions? Does everyone make rational decisions?
Megan Markley: “ yes I make rational decisions but I don’t think everyone does. “
*Robert Gaetan :” other than the mentally insane everyone does. Even say a suicide bomber, personally
If I thought that I could get 72 virgins and get my friends and family heaven passes I would do it to.”
