Do I know what it takes to earn ? I told you what I've done in my life, over 50 years in the workforce, so what do you think ? BTW, as combat construction specialist in the Army, I did the hardest work in America for 5 years. Sunrise to sunset. Cold or heat. In full fatigues (sometimes tactical in full combat gear). Rain or shine. Don't believe it's the hardest ? Go watch the Army Corps of Engineers putting up an M4T6 bridge sometime. Some people get worn out just watching.
Yep and on OUR terms. You know being responsible for ourselves.
Yep. Our terms again...that responsibility thing....
Responsible people DO, and they are the BEST at what they do and can command wages commensurate with their skills because they have a goal and are responsible.
Best deal going. And even the consumer gets a deal too!I was able to obtain the same by VOLUNTARILY TRADING my marketable skills with my employer. He makes money and I make money.
Amen. Responsible people working for the benefit of all involved with NO government meddling. Free Market...what a concept.He was not forced at gun point to pay for my services.

The last time we raised the Federal Minimum Wage was in 2009. Since 2009, the cumulative rate of inflation is 8.6%.
As it stands, the Federal Minimum wage is $7.25. 8.6% of $7.25 is 62 cents.
To reflect the proper increase in inflation(which has been very minimal in the past 5 years), minimum wage should be $7.87.
Yet people who earn the minimum wage can still buy the most advanced phones, own a computer, and access the most advanced library the world has ever seen.
A truly free market promotes greed. Greed is bad.
An unrestrained free market is like an unrestrained hurricane, free to do whatever may occur, without preventive measures (boarded windows, sand bags, evacuations, etc)
Which is why the black market has resulted in higher drug prices and less access to drugs.
What's the net cost of a $10.10/hr employee vs. minimum wage employee?
Most likely not a cost at all, but instead a GAIN, once you factor in the increased sales from the increase in disposable income.
Because money is magic.
Bigger middle class good
Smaller middle class with a super rich on top = bad.
Most likely not a cost at all, but instead a GAIN, once you factor in the increased sales from the increase in disposable income.

When wages go up in the community (as occurs with a raise in the MW), so does sales, hadn't you heard ? Try taking a course in microeconomics.

I wouldn't know about a black market for drugs, and don't want to (please don't tell me)

Paying people immoral wages like $7.25/hour is not for the benefit of the worker. It is robbery of his labor hours. Govt only meddles when you are Irresponsible by paying such despicable wages. You ought to be ashamed of yourself to speak in favor of such a thing.

If you have a problem with CPI, take it up with the Federal Government. How do you propose we measure inflation, what is wrong with the CPI?The last time we raised the Federal Minimum Wage was in 2009. Since 2009, the cumulative rate of inflation is 8.6%.

Your assuming that $7.25 is correct, which it isn't.
Your assuming that 8.6% inflation is correct, which it's not.[/url]
If you take the cost changes of three key items from 1970-2013 which are housing, food, transportation, minimum wage should be $23.50/hr.

Not too likely. Ever work for minimum wage ? People who do get cars repossessed, watch TV (if they have one) with rabbit ears, get their car insurance cancelled, and their electricity turned, or one of these. But computers and advance phones ? who have you been listening too ? Ever work for minimum wage ? If you had, you wouldn't be talking about MW workers buying smart phones.
Because money is magic.

as well as prices and the cost of living...
try taking a course in basic economics, dumb fuck...

It shows they are making more than enough to live on. Those are luxuries, not necessities.

That's right. Not about that, I don't. I'm not interested in black markets of drugs. Maybe if I was a cop, I might be. I'd rather think about more pleasant things, like learning new songs on my guitar.

HA HA. You're the dumb fuck. I used to teach this stuff in college (City University of New York) Prices don't go up as a result of MW increase, or any other added cost either. Selling prices are called "the market price". They come from the market (NOT THE SELLER), and are set at the level which is the highest price they can charge, without going up to where sales drop enough to cause income/profit to fall, causing LOSSES. This is graphically illustrated by a bell-shaped curve with income on the Y axis, and prices going up on the X axis, and the market price at the top of the curve. Thousands of 18 year old freshmen college kids (who completed a course in microeconomics) know this simple fact, but you don't, you dumb shit.
Oh some businesses Do raise prices (the dummies). They're the same one who go out of business from fallen sales. Mismanagement > the number 1 cause of business failure.
PS - Hint: Business can't lay people off either. Want to talk stupid on that one too ?
