Do you think it's fair for individuals with more talent or who work harder to earn more, or should everyone earn the same?

 @9HCM99RPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Yes, those with more talent and/or who work harder should always earn more than the average person. Otherwise, where is the incentive to go above and beyond?

 @9HBTZ54Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Whoever works harder and puts more effort in, while showing effective results, should be payed more.

 @9HBSH3Lfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

If they work harder and have more talent they should get paid more if they were getting paid the same it would be like giving a random beer league player the same amount as a nhl player

 @9HBL7K3from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

People who work harder should get rewarded for their efforts and talents

Would you prefer to live in a community where wealth differences are visible or where they're hidden?

 @9KMDGPJ answered…9mos9MO

There will always be rich and poor people and none would feel comfortable living amongst the other. The rich have earned their right to live at a higher standard and the poor could work toward a better future with help with education, retraining and a guaranteed income.

 @9KMCKBK from British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

I would prefer that they are hidden or just not super noticeable, I don’t think it would effect me as much and I think that it is the peoples individual business to know their wealth.

What kind of world would we live in if all jobs were valued equally?

 @9HXBM3Qfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Not all jobs should be "valued equally" in a moral sense but in a financial sense. The value of a job should never dictate whether or not someone can live healthily and comfortably, let alone live at all

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Imagine if everyone started with the same income at age 18; what do you think society would look like?

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
