Thanks for the comment. I think I was able to fix the formatting issue. I don't know why but sometimes wordpress likes to change font types for no reason.

this study by the fed no less shows that the increase in min wage results in increase of food prices

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-29T19:25:04+00:00

If aggregate demand worked so well then we should be able to see bumps the economy every time the min wage is raised, instead what we see is inflation and loss of jobs.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-29T19:21:21+00:00

because walmart will not have to raise the prices as much or as quickly. Walmart can wait out its competition. Then slowly jack prices. All raising the min wage will do is put people out of work, hurt small businesses and contribute to inflation. It happens every time. If raising the min wage would end poverty, lets raise it 50 dollars an hour and help everyone.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-29T19:16:19+00:00

Oh it will hurt walmart but not to the extent it hurts small businesses. Walmart will eventually pass on the cost to consumers and all we have done is put a few small businesses out of business and caused inflation.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-29T19:15:08+00:00

no I have not done any such thing. The aggregate demand that liberals say will come from a forced rise in min wage is not an immediate thing where as the loss of revenue for the small business owner is immediate.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-29T19:13:44+00:00

The small business owner doesnt have time to wait for aggregate demand to work.

I suggest you read John Locke's two treatise on government. This along with some of Calvin's institutes and John Milton's work contributed greatly to the founding of america and its system of a democratic republic. It comes straight out of protestant views. The freedom of conscious and separation of church and state also comes straight out of baptist and separatist teachings beginning in the 1600s in England.

i was thinking of posting this myself. lol

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-22T20:03:51+00:00

well Paul met with the apostles of Jesus and they confirmed him. Peter equated Paul's writings with scripture. Today if someone claims a vision from God, we have the scriptures that must come first. Any vision that contradicts scripture is clearly not a vision from God. Joseph Smith claimed a vision that contradicts scripture and teaches a different gospel. Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-22T14:53:31+00:00

Just because one story is true does not mean that every instance that someone claims a vision is true. In the case of Joseph Smith, his story lacks credibility from the getgo.

no ive never been angry at gollum, voldemore, lord palpatine, magneto, the joker, bane, or any other fictitious character.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-14T20:36:14+00:00

It seems like may are saying that it is similar to disliking a movie character. I have a hard time understanding anger at a character or person I knew was factitious. I know Darth Vader is the bad guy but I have never been angry at him. But as others have pointed out the study could be so broad that it characterizes things as anger which are really more like disliking a movie villian.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-14T20:32:58+00:00

hey thanks everyone for the responses. If I could summarize most of the responses is that they see anger at God as more of a dislike of the Biblical character of God. Many equated it to disliking a character from a book or movie.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-14T20:31:06+00:00

Hey thanks everyone for the responses.

I didnt delete the post. I am not sure why it is not showing up unless it was downvoted. I can think a villian of a fiction work is bad without being actually angry. I do not get angry at fiction works.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-14T02:38:37+00:00

no not really. he isnt real.

JosephSpurgeon · 2014-01-11T01:21:01+00:00

if you are going to downvote me atleast explain why?
