If you can't believe it, then you really haven't a clue how life on the other side of the tracks works. Yah think? It is pretty clear that Tenchu and his fellow wingnut are clueless. They get told that the very poor are knocking down $60k or more a year tax free from government handouts and believe it.

Z, Why on earth would I lie about something like that? Because you have used your dad's sob stories to advocate policies that don't make any sense except from a socialist utopian perspective. Steve already pointed out how you reused that 3-year-old story about your dad getting a pay cut. Jlallen already pointed out that existing labor laws should already prohibit working overtime without pay. Either you're leaving out key details which would nullify or otherwise make your father's case irrelevant in this political discussion, or you're lying through your teeth. I know you have no reason to just make up these stories out of thin air, but either way, all you want to do is have government pick winners and losers, as long as one of the "winners" ends up being your father. Never mind all the businesses that can't pay for your father's new car and countertops. If they can't pay his idea of a "living wage," they shouldn't exist, right comrade? Tenchusatsu

Founder of Los Angeles ‘celebrity friendly’ Kabbalah center ‘Rav’ dies By Agence France-Presse rawstory.com Tuesday, September 17, 2013 8:23 EDT The founder of the Los Angeles-based Kabbalah Centre, whose celebrity devotees include Madonna and Demi Moore, has died aged 86, the center announced. Rabbi Philip Berg — known as Rav to his followers — had been ill since suffering a stroke in 2004, the Los Angeles Times reported. “The Kabbalah Centre is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our teacher, Rav Berg,” said a statement on its website. The center, which was founded in 1965, has attracted criticism for the lucrative and celebrity-friendly way it presents ancient Jewish mysticism, the LA Times said. But the center said Berg had “created a path for millions to learn and live Kabbalah. The Rav has left us with incredible knowledge through thousands of hours of teaching, examples of courage that we will never forget, and the comfort of a Kabbalah Centre that we can all call home.” The first Kabbalah Centre was founded in 1922 by Rav Yehuda Anschlag, and the organization now has a presence in more than 40 cities around the world, it said. In addition to Madonna, celebrity followers include actor Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears. Kabbalah is “the world’s oldest body of spiritual wisdom” and “contains the long-hidden keys to the secrets of the universe as well as to the mysteries of the human heart and soul,” according to the LA center’s website. It said Kabbalah teaches “that the body is an instrument to do the work of the soul in this physical reality. When the body’s work is done, the soul travels to the upper worlds to serve without limitation. “Today we believe the Rav has begun to share with us from above, and we will all happily remain connected to and inspired by the Rav’s soul and his vision. Berg is survived by his wife Karen,”will continue their work and vision for the Centre,” the website said.
