I was referring to Bloomberg and Juliani both Republicans during the period where CEO's salaries went through the roof. Paul makes it sound like this never happens where Republicans are in charge, yeah right
Have you ever considered what it takes to get someone to live in N.Y.C.? You have to pay people, and N.Y.C. isn't cheap, either.
Another such city is L.A.. CEO's (and all other employees) make more in L.A. for the same reason - nobody wants to live in L.A.
I'm in ny please bloomberg was a Republican even if he switched 3 times. He was in bed with wall Street to the extent he protected them during a ows protest where him and his pet goon sucked the police on them as well as the fbi in conjunction with jp Morgan and bank of America
The Democrat Party is "in bed" with Wall Street, in case you didn't know. Who are their big donors? This is why some say that Bernie Sanders could never win (and I agree), because he speaks out against all the big Democrat donors!
Kasich does not have the balls to be president. I don't want a compassionite government. That is why the country is bankrupt. He does not understand how to effectively deport 11 million illegals. Just like rats, you cut off their food supply and the will be forced to look elsewhere. The solution is simple. Cut off all benefits and social services and they will SELF-DEPORT. It will cost the taxpayers ZERO. Those that resist and commit crimes to support themselves can be handled by ICE and local police.

Your reply is out of context, my post was in regards to Rand Paul's statement that CEO's who are receiving salaries 600 times the average worker is only happening in localities run by Democrats (or words to that effect). This has nothing to do with COL in NY.
Where have you ever heard that? None have said that. But in my opinion, there should be no "minimum wage." The market should set wages. Lowering the minimum wage or getting rid of it altogether would create jobs for high school students after school, like we had when I was young. It was the "minimum wage" which caused those jobs to disappear.
It was union wage, benefits including pensions and payroll taxes, which became uncompetitive in a global market.
The market sets the wage in my neck of the woods. McDonalds has to offer $9.50-10/hr to attract high school kids and even then, jobs are unfilled. Other retail offers $10+/ hr and begs for people. Some offer sign on bonuses. It's the rare kid that lasts a month in one of these jobs. Easier to babysit for $10+/ hr when the kid wants to work as opposed to when an employer needs people to work.
They are a bunch of thugs that just say what their base wants to hear but if elected they will just help the wealthy. And I'm including democratic candidates like Sanders. Does anyone actually believe these idiots are gonna help us? No they won't. They are hired by the wealthy to slave us. They tax us to death so they can use our money to fund useless wars and subsidize their businesses.
Obviously it's pretty absurd Cruz wants to get rid of most government agencies. "I will get rid of the IRS". He says. No he won't idiot. If you wanna collect taxes(which your wealthy bosses will want you to do), you need an agency to do so. Renaming the IRS is not getting rid of the IRS, just just calling Obamacare something else is not getting rid of it.
No president is gonna change the tax code. If the tax code gets changed by congress it will only be to benefit the wealthy 1%. No one is gonna bring jobs because jobs will go wherever labor is cheaper and where there are less regulations
Has anyone checked the pollution in China lately? How about the miserable wages? Do you wanna give up buying junk for $1-$10? Those that make a big deal about raising the minimum wage are the same people who want to bring "jobs" back but they never mention how cheap labor is in those countries. What will happen to our economy once we start paying people $2 an hour for a manufacturing job?
Can you explain why you liked him, when there were candidates up there like Rubio who can actually talk about their policies in detail instead of just meaningless platitudes?
I think I liked him because he finally showed that he is one "of us" by focusing his fire on Hillary and Obama rather than other Republicans for a change.
His ideas aren't bad either. The guy knows what he's talking about when it comes to tax policy. I still believe Rubio is the best chance of beating Hillary, but Trump didn't completely alienate me last night like he has in the past.
“And that CNBC is how you run a debate,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus tweeted afterward.
