FOX is ok to listen to occasionally, but its not intellectually consistent by any means. I dont watch or listen to ANY other MSM outlets at all, though. They ARE intellectually consistent, but without intellect.

And its also forcing companies to look more seriously at AI to ELIMINATE the need for so many employees. I mean, who wants an employee when a machine or computer can do the same job.

Order takers at restaurants should have been automated a LONG TIME AGO for example. Mid level managers have already been trimmed down, and jobs exported to India, Pakistan, and China by the hundreds of thousands.

As a business owner, the LAST thing I want is another employee that I dont absolutely have to have.

Such is the price of intellectual inconsistency. The cost of freebie government giveaway programs should be borne by the "givers", not unrelated parties like companies.

Making companies pay for the social programs is effectively giving all employees raises which will increase prices the companies charge.

FOX is "conservative" compared with MSM, but certainly NOT consistent.

Although Tucker complains about the companies he considers to be making too much money and desires them to be forced to pay their employees more he fails to indicate that these large corporations pay their employees more than most other similar companies who are smaller. They get more than minimum wage. They are often provided more opportunities to advance than in other companies.
The problem with their wage not covering their expenses might be the employees living beyond their means. It is also a taxation problem. When all the taxes that individuals pay amount to more than 75% of earned income that impoverishes them more than the wage they earn. If taxation was reduced people would be able to afford food and housing. Tucker makes it sound as though the owners of these large corporations should barely earn more than those low skilled employees that work for them. Although the owner of the company might be worth 50 billion most of that net worth is tied up in the business they own. If they went out and spent all of that money the business would fail and they would be broke.
Millions of people who don't work directly for these businesses have jobs suppling needs of the business and products. As long as the focus is on how can force be used to make rich people have less everyone will have less. He is right about one thing, America is not a free market economy and hasn't been for more than 100 years. His suggestions if enforced will continue to ensure that the people are enslaved by their government.

The thriving Trump economy is forcing all of these big employers to rethink their employee treatment, as the labor market tightens. If even a little deregulation and loosening the tax grip on the economy produces these results, think of how much more advantage the workers gain in a truly free market, with the heavy hand of government interference lifted.

I stopped watching Carlson when I realized that what he is doing is putting all the left wing loonies on in order to debate them. Most of the time they don't let him talk and the interview becomes a shouting match. Carlson is not O'Reilly.

Thanks but no thanks. I don't need FOX to know where the left stands.

PS...if the government would mind it's own business and restrain it's regulations then maybe things would be different. Maybe the people could then vote with their feet in a true free market fashion.

I have always thought that we should return to community involvement: meaning we spend our efforts, time and what ever abundance each has that may want to contribute to those in a pickle so long as they want a hand up and not hand outs.
Thereby returning the state and federal governments to their original purpose...protection of rights under the constitution and protection from threats and radical influences from outside the country.

Carlson is wrong. The author of the article is correct. End the welfare programs, close the borders, and deport all the illegals, now.

I know the con-gress will rush out to do my bidding since they work for me.

I have been predicting since early 2016 that if Bernie Sanders and people like this commentator figure out they're on the same side we're in big trouble. It just takes a charismatic leader who can overcome the fact that they're split into two groups that hate one another without realizing how similar they are.

The article accompanying the video is terrific.

I rate Tucker 6 on a 1-10 for his commentary , style and now I might reevaluate , thanks mshupe.
