[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] OK, Jay, now you're just being difficult. For the sake of the argument, I'll agree that raising the standard of living for the poor reduces crime, etc. What's your point? I've shown that increasing the minimum wage does NOT increase the standard of living for anyone. As for your second paragraph, there were a couple spelling errors that make it kinda difficult to understand, but I'll take a stab at it. The "rich" (rich being defined as making more than $50 grand a year, and therefore not being a "working family", or so says Algore) would get the largest tax cut (cash-wise; the "poor" are actually getting a larger break percentage-wise) because they're the only ones paying any significant taxes to begin with! (The death tax comes to mind.) And when the people (ANY people) have more money in their pockets, they're more likely to buy a, say, McDonald's, and create jobs, thus helping the "poor". Not to mention increasing tax revenue, as in the 80's. It's called trickle-down theory. Look it up. [/QB][/QUOTE]
