I have to chuckle when I hear economists using monopsony power to justify minimum wage laws.Do you think driving down low wages makes money?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
Why do you think teacher unions protect seniority when it comes to layoffs? If I'm looking to cut costs, where do I cut: $35K or $78K job?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
As much as I loved that Chicago job, I resigned. Most of my fellow employees left soon afterwards.While we were privately-held 20-30% growth— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
I worked for a Chicago company that got acquired by an Atlanta corp. They decided I was ineligible for > 2% increase, I was making mkt - 15%— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017

After the corporate acquisition, the Chicago company went to flat revenues. Business deals got caught up in bureaucratic inertia and died.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
The idea that I'm going to nickel & dime the lowest-paid employees of a company to meet my profit goals is absurd; I will pay the going rate— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
@ChelseaClinton As a typical "progressive", you've oversimplified the issue. The question is not the rationale for why the Southern states seceded but war!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
@ChelseaClinton The Civil War was NOT started by Southern states invading the Union states. Lincoln explicitly recognized slavery rights in his Inaugural Ad— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
@ChelseaClinton I cannot speak for why Trump raised Jackson's name, but there was a Nullification Crisis during his Presidency resolved without bloodshed.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017
I'm amused: the left-wing wackos have come up with their own Axis of Evil: Trump, Putin and Le Pen. "Trump and Putin"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 2, 2017

DEAD WRONG: You "Help the Poor" By Trade Wars
Does Capitalism Exploit Workers?
Facebook Corner
(lifeSite News). Jesus would hold women’s hands to support them during abortion: abortionist.
No, Jesus may have intervened against a mob stoning to death a woman who killed her preborn child, He may have forgiven her sin, but He would have told her, "Go and sin no more."
(Catholic Libertarians).This is commentary from myself, your friendly neighborhood page admin.
« Libertarianism, therefore, is simply the doctrine of free will and speaks nothing of one’s motive or intention. »
This (papal rhetoric) is the same garbage communitarians/collectivists have been pushing since the days of Herbert Spencer.
Let's for once talk about the wars and persecutions that have occurred on the watch of communitarians, like Pope Francis. Market (i.e., classical) liberals have NEVER been on the side of warmongers and authoritarians. Where is this "invasion" of libertarians taking place? What government? Are we talking about the US, where you can literally count the number of pro-liberty Congressmen on maybe one hand? Which has dropped out of every Top 10 of economic liberty indexes during the Obama regime? Where did we see major party Presidential candidates talk about scaling back Defense budgets and missions? Where did we hear them embrace pro-trade and pro-immigration standpoints? When did we hear them call for devolution of authority to the states and individuals? When did we hear a rebuttal of the upper 1% class warfare rhetoric, the Politics of Envy?
It's a bogeyman invented by communitarians; we have an intellectually pretentious pontiff who is trying to impose his failed Peronist ideology on Catholicism. He does not understand classical liberalism; he repeated the fraudulent social darwinism smears in his exhortation. He lacks the intellectual rigor of Pope Benedict; he's paraphrasing progressive claptrap.
