  1. They can simply change the business model to full time workers instead of part time. It will cost them a dollar more an hour and heaven forbid occasionally have to pay a little over time. If they went to full time at the 7.25 rate their employees would be making about 290 a week before taxes. If you stop the bonus of paying a dollar less an hour for part time they would only make about 20. dollars a week more. Right now someone working 20 hrs a week on the lower tier are making 125.00 a week before taxes. Assistance programs continue to change to accommodate the wages. I am not s
  2. Our system rewards the industry by encouraging them to work the people part by allowing them to pay a dollar less an hour. These businesses are well aware that the majority of their employees are on assistance and make a point of never working them an hour over so they don't lose those benefits. While it bothers many that unskilled labor should make a living, it really is not the issue. The issue is what it does to the economy and the burden on the taxpayer. The focus is on what people think these people are worth and just how much people like the dollar menu. If you make enough to pay
  3. You are disregarding many facts. For one this is 40% of the job market in the US. Second these companies work hourly part time without exception in order to pay a dollar less an hour. If you can't afford to pay $5.00 for a burger then you can't afford a burger. I pay taxes and I am tired of paying for their slaves to have a roof over their head and food in their bellies so the owner of a fast food restaurant or retail establishment can get rich. All those economic rules apply when we have 5-10% of minimum wage industries. They will break this country when it reaches 50%.
  4. I am not convinced the rebels didn't use the gas themselves. There seems to be some discrepancy in the numbers of people killed by gas. We need to wait on the UN's decision. If Israel gets nervous enough to launch even 1 missile we are going to find ourselves facing off with Russia. I think we need to hold off. I think the president and congress are jumping the gun. It makes no sense that Syria would launch those weapons with inspectors in the country. By western standards we can't imagine using women and children as collateral damage to get a super power on our side. They would do it. I
  5. Memphis Barbq is original to the delta area. Merles comes as close to what I grew up with when it comes to a barbg sandwich. I love Rodneys Ribs. Jim-n-Nicks is a fine staple barbq. Barbq is about rock stars with original smoking methods, sauces and rubs. One thing that bothers me with many barbq places are the sides. The beans and slaw often taste like an after thought. Tops is a chain of barbq restaurants in Memphis. I crave their sandwich sometimes because the slaw has a lot of mustard in it. It is not my favorite but having eaten it off and on for years, I can app
  6. Why are minorities always assumed to democrat or liberal? It is a double edged sword. It is assumed that a republican black or white is not interested in Martin Luther King because all his followers supposedly ended up on welfare. Not hardly, many are educated and successful. It is a wide brush and sometimes we all use it to cope in the age of information.
  7. There are custodial issues also. We have seen amber alerts were other relatives have taken children. You can have a court order one day and have an angry parent show up at lunch. I would think anyone that has a violent history or psychological issues should be watched when around children.
  8. I guess I was not clear on that point, thanks for clarifying. Stay in the car, if you are going in the school then you MAY have to submit to a background check. I am an old Tennessee gal, nobody hates government more. Technology and diversity has made our society extremely complex. There are positives and negatives to that. Nobody forces you onto the grid. If you are on the internet or have a phone, electricity you are choosing to participate. I don't accept simplistic answers that are supposedly an interpretation to an amendment. I am however very interested in the details of the checks
  9. [flash=728,304]http://www.paulding.com/directory/images/dir/dallastherapysvsdirectory.swf Ann is very good and very affordable.
  10. If you have an issue with these checks, nobody is making you visit the school in this capacity to warrant one. We have amber alerts every other day. Many people are charged with various types of child endangerment and molestation out on bail. We have an opportunity to keep children safer. If you object to a background check then wait in the rider lane to pick up your child. It is that simple. This is the modern world, you have an SS number, DR, Number and you need these to do most everything even vote. You are going to have to be in trouble or very obvious for the government to even no
  11. Paulding County Board of Education Throws Out The Fourth Amendment http://ponytailpatriot.com/section-blog/151-paulding-county-board-of-education-throws-out-the-fourth-amendment&Itemid=82 AMENDMENT IV TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. I am
  12. I have been reading a few articles around the net trying to get a grasp on the situation. For the most part I am against any military action in Muslim countries period. I will share 2 links that try to describe the situation. In my opinion anyone that is not Muslim, Christians and Jews should understand the dangers of living or working in these countries. Our concerns are about those people and the harm they may come to. They have choices. We are there to protect the flow of oil period. We need to quickly explore other options and get completely out of the Middle East. The people we
  13. Ya think that money could go toward healthcare instead of guns and bullets? Maybe put gas in your car to get to Washington? Priorities are a bit messed up, food, shelter, healthcare are priorities for me. You think that they should hold on to their crops until people are starving then sell them to the highest bidder. What is this world you live in? where you think that you are special and going to end up on top of this heap of garbage, think again you are not even close. But guess what? it is not going to go down like that no matter how many fear mongers publish their garbage for 1.99 a mon
  14. Your kidding right? you have no idea how cheap that is .
  15. It was moved to Paulding Place. I just logged on and saw it right away because I have that forum turned ON.
  16. I know folks are tired of me beating this drum. Linda also had Lyme disease years ago and is looking into the studies about the relationship. To help people understand how this can happen you have to look at the history. For the last 10-20 years victims have been treated for a short time with antibiotics. When they have complained of continuing health issues they have been told that those go away over time. It is not true. Second many don't know they have it because they had a bought with flu and got over it slowly. It can mimic the flu in all ways even respiratory illness that keeps com
  17. I have an old Iphone if that will help. I don't know the model number.
  18. I forced myself to get up at 6 am to cover this event. I will be covering a few more events in the near future because some of them are so important that people need to know. When it comes to economic development it is hard to see what is going on. Believe me there is a lot going on at all times. This is a long video, 45 minutes, some won't watch that long. If nothing else move the slider to the 28.9 marker and listen to the words of Mathew Pierson (sp)?. You will see how economic development works. The ground work has been laid and we are seeing results, I expect to see a snowba
  19. Americans love the story of the day. Our reserves were put in trust so that if we were ever cut off and faced with an attack our military could have all that was needed. The international companies have fought every effort with their wealth and power to stifle alternatives and I don't mean ethanol. The American people have been sold out at every turn to lobbyist making laws that are unethical and immoral.
  20. Oh lordy I am going to be hugging some precious ladies!
  21. I feel like a hillbilly that just saw the first plane fly over head. I will never sit waiting, going nuts ever again. I love all the choices for entertainment with uverse. I love how big the LG pro is. I have been exploring apps and other things because it is no longer a strain to see what is on the screen. I finally appreciate all the things an android can do.
  22. I am very concerned about this. I don't want us sucked into another war. Let some other country get sucked in. We always go in first, we spend the most money and lose the most people. Certain defense contractors, I swear are just waiting for something to happen so they can get richer. It is always us, we are supposedly so stinkin rich we can police the world. Did any of the countries we have helped come running in and offer bail out money, nope that is on our backs too. Only about 60% of the people in this country make enough to pay taxes. I won't support going in there. I am done, paying
  23. I don't think it opens back up until October. I think some insurance companies are pulling out of Georgia. My insurance which is a system is staying. You still want to get get your pre-existing refusal letter as soon as possible and be ready. People were a little confused, they thought that insurance companies could not turn you down, they still can. Once you get it you go to the exchange and one of the companies has to take you. I think the rate is set according to income. We will see how it plays out. If all the insurance companies pull out then it becomes single payer by default.
  24. It depends on how many are in the family. From your precious post you automatically qualify under pre-existing. You can go ahead and apply for any insurance now. You will simply need you letter saying you were turned down due to pre-existing. What people don't get is that trillions of dollars that nobody would touch, not insurance companies or doctors would take, because it was not enough are going to be pumped straight into the systems. The are now forced to take your $400.00 a month that you were spending on other things because it was not enough for them. Now multiply that by millions o
