It may be unreasonable, but it is not outdated. Atheists could still use the same logic 2000 years ago. Obviously we know more now, but in both cases we don't know everything, but just because you don't have an answer doesn't mean someone else does.

Obviously the war on drugs is not working. But that doesn't mean we need to legalize potheads and accept things like that when there are horrid consdequences such as lung disease, and the public despises second-hand smoke. We do need to make a change, though. The punishment should be putting people on probation rather than jail time, as they are only harming themselves. Probation will get people to stop using the drug and make them better people.

Rand Paul... He has by far the best policies and carries himself in an excellent manner.

If they are a smart employee, they will not accept a job that doesn't pay enough. If nobody takes the job because they can't make a living off of it, then the company will be forced to raise their salaries to support their business. This is because of competition, which is the major difference between us and China or anywhere in the Middle East: we have a free enterprise system. Ironically, a place like China would be the only place a minimum wage would be a good idea.

Raising the minimum wage will not get people more money. It will decrease jobs, and force companies to pay more for their employees, which will cause them to also raise the price of their porduct or service, so the end result will end up being a big cycle of inflation. This is something we have already experienced to an extent, and getting rid of the minimum wage will only help. It will create many more low-paying jobs, which can be used as a starting point of good experience. Every job is not meant to support a family, and raising the minimum wage will not change that, nor will it allow every job to support a family, because as I said before it will only result in a cycle of inflation.
