It's over for the United States economy we must change course and survive or go the way of the Great Auk. Now, only abolishing the minimum wage law can save the USA economy from total doom. It's too late for cutting spending to save this economy now only the abolishment of the minimum wage law can save the USA and world economy from total doom. The truth of the whole matter is government as a family provider on a mass scale has never been done in the history of mankind even during the days of slavery. Cutting spending would just mean a smaller welfare state and a smaller pie to share. And would just speed up the demise of this joke of an economy we have today. Its too late now, there is no turning back, we are pass the point of no return, end of story, that is all she wrote, only abolishing the minimum wage law can free us now to save ourselves. We have already entered the early stages of total doom when we are printing tons and tons of worthless currency in digital form. Sure, they say we have been saved from going over the so called physical cliff. It is very simple, to save the USA economy now the free market place must be set free, nothing else can do it. Even when the free market place is set free it will take an all out struggle just to survive. That is because the welfare state has already destroyed practical everything that makes civilization work. No civilization or society has ever survived very long without a strong nuclear and extended family system, a strong religious and moral code in place, and emergency fallback bartering capacity with plenty of small farmers and home gardeners. The main reason why the three said survival tools is a must is the boom and bust cycle is part of nature and sooner or later the bust side of the cycle must complete it rotation. And I will guarantee anyone that there is no way in hell the USA is going to survive unless we abolish the minimum wage law where the free market place can give us a fighting chance to survive this monster size bust cycle on the horizon. With my God given super natural wisdom I'm telling you we must abolish the minimum wage law now before it is too late. Concerning the Minimum wage law almost everyone is focused on wages and salaries only, but that is obviously shallow thinking and the reason the welfare state is out of control. The real not so obvious disguised poison fang the minimum wage law has is it gives the welfare state almost absolute power over the free market place. By being able to set and control the price of labor that also gives the welfare state control over private property too and what you can do with it. After the republicans caved on the over the cliff deal the Dems and liberals are licking their chop about this big harvest of new revenue to grow more government. However, I think they may be disappointed. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the government ends up taking in less revenue than it is currently taking in. Human being is not just cogs in some giant machine. Rich and successful people are not stupid, sooner or later they are going to get fed up with being used and abused and make a drastic change in behavior. Why should they continue to make great personal sacrifices to feed a thankless hostile welfare state to be spit upon and abused? I'm telling you the rich and successful people are the life blood of this nation and are the one that make it work. Only ignorant people, freedom haters, and wanna be dictators puts down and tries to destroy the rich. No matter how hard the great depression was no one set out to scape-goat and destroys the rich. No matter who does it, they don't love freedom or this nation if they try to turn the masses against the very people who make this nation work. That is biting the hand that feeds you and is un-American in my view. There never has been and never will be a rich and prosperous county without a lot of rich people to make it happen.
