Republicans Cut Pay for Servers and Bartenders

I find Faye very difficult to respond to as her argument seems to be all over the place.

Faye is passionate, same with Timken, and passion is a good thing out here.

I don't disagree.  I also don't disagree that significant issues exist.  I just think its foolish to blame it all on the Republicans (or conversely on the Democrats).  They are damn near the same thing.

Well, at least you do not have to try and figure out which side that the argument is for out  here!

they also have to absorb the cost of the golden parachutes given to these terrible CEOs

We are talking about the local restaurant business, right?   

We're talking about the fallacy that poorly run private enterprises would go out of business whereas poorly run government enterprises don't get that kind of "market" correction. (KenFSU stated that: If the Florida Dept of Transportation was a private business, it would have been gone bankrupt years ago.)

My contention is that there are MANY poorly run private enterprises that, due to their monopoly/oligopoly position or other factors, also stay in business and absorb the cost of terrible CEOs.

"private" is not by definition better than "government" as so many Republicans fail to understand.

BTW thanks mtraininjax for the compliment about my passion.

but I'm not on the side of Democrats either............I'm really only in support of progressives like Alan Grayson, who isn't afraid to say it like it is.


Though I like Dems general philosophy, they often roll over and play dead when it comes to standing up for the people in face of the relentless attack from Republicans.
