I don't think that conservatives by and large have a problem paying taxes or in submitting to government's reasonable authority. Our problem is when government wants more than we think is government's due, either in money or in power. We accept government's right to set speed limits; we do not accept government's right to set sugary soda size limits. We accept that government is due a tithe, the same as the church; we do not accept that government is due double or triple the tithe so that it can hand out "free" goodies. We accept that government should set a minimum wage to control how deeply in poverty is someone who works at a low value job; we do not accept that government should set a minimum wage to establish a middle class lifestyle for every job.
Frankly I'm not seeing the contradiction here.
Reading comprehension starts early. You missed it.$9-$15 is enough for middle class lifestyle? Lol!
Pretty "shit ass" when backed against a wall. I'd close the store 1st. Logical? No but my serotonin levels are low.fucking stupid, I'd fire anyone who walked out. The are total.ly replaceable cogs.

And that is exactly why this country is where it is at today, because we see those below us as some "trained monkey" that is a drain on our resources and must be eliminated or replaced by something more efficient and less costly as long as that trained monkey isn't me.
Exactly. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I don't look down upon those less fortunate than me but apparently the so called Christians in this thread does.
These are fellow Americans, you would think, we as a country would put our fellow Americans before profits. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.
Why don't you just make your point explicitly?Lol! Please post what I quoted (as in what you wrote) when I responded with the romans quote.
And then ask yourself what the fuck this response has to do with it.
If you can do so legitimately, sure you're allowed. You didn't so he called you out for being a fool.So I'm not allowed to point out someone's hypocrisy in their feelings about something? Ok big guy.
I hope you don't own a refrigerator, you are still supporting your local iceperson. Please I hope you are not a hypocrite, please tell me you own an ice box. And I hope you ring the operator to make every phone call for you, and certainly stay away from text. And that evil email taking away work from your personperson (I know how to properly communicate in this new PC world! Yay me!), must never use that service.
Sure hope all your food was farmed with hand-tools, not farmed using tractors and other machinery. You don't want to be a hypocrite. I don't want you to be a hypocrite. Please confirm to everyone you are not a hypocrite, you would never allow technology to replace someone's job.
I don't know what's scarier, the size of your ego, or it's disconnect from reality?
If you can do so legitimately, sure you're allowed. You didn't so he called you out for being a fool.

In any case the quote from Romans isn't saying that Christians need to fall over backwards in support of any and every governmental program, institution or proposed governmental assistance plan. You're taking this passage out of context and even in doing so you're mis-applying it to a situation it has nothing to say about.
Also I take it you're not Christian, why don't you leave Christian theology to the Christians?
How come we have separation of church and state *until* illiterate mouth-breathing liberal atheists start thumping bible quotes?
Amazing the insanity of the left.
No, minimum wage was never meant to support a family. It was meant to ensure teens and young adults didn't work for slave wages.
-OzIt established a 'living wage' for a man, his wife and two children to "live in frugal comfort".
Good point.
And it's not true they aren't asking for government help. They are asking for a doubling of the minimum wage, whcih is something only the government can do.
I don't have a problem with them trying to get a better shake (no pun intended). I have a problem with the voice of entitelement i'm hearing. "Living wage" being a right for example.
One of our principles is the pursuit of happiness, we don't guarantee it.
The Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing financial support and training for local organizers in the fast-food strikes around the country.
Do you know what a strawman is? You're horrible at biblical interpretation and you're horrible in spotting logical fallacies.What's scarier is you think you are being smart when you post straw man after straw man arguments like you just did with the poster you quoted.
You're deciding who is Christian now? Based on your stupid interpretation of Paul? This is why you should leave it to people who he was writing to to interpret what he meant. This is just a suggestion.Leave Christian theology to the Christians? Lol, who exactly would that be? It certainly isn't you and it certainly isn't rob.
It was also meant to keep people who aren't productive enough to warrant the minimum wage to not have a job.No, minimum wage was never meant to support a family. It was meant to ensure teens and young adults didn't work for slave wages.
These workers won't get $15/hour and minimum wage jobs were never meant to support a family. The SEIU is helping to organize these strikes as well which tells me everything I need to know.
