And that is wrong, how?
It shows they are making more than enough to live on. Those are luxuries, not necessities.
It doesn't show anything. People on MW get their lights and heat turned off. They can't afford luxuries. None.
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.

Outside of the fact that this entire thread is so much BS, let Me remind you that while you're wrong about minimum wage, the rest of America is not.I've been explaining what is "FAIR" in about the last 20 posts I've posted here. Are you reading thte thread. FAIR is what it takes in a community for a person to make himself a LIVING (in exchange for 40 hours per week of work). In many places in the US, nowadays, that might be about $20/hour (which would be $130/hour less than what I paid my salespeople)
What the hell is a "living wage"? Does it eat, breath and speak or something?
You want a picture drawn, in living color ? It's what it takes to pay for housing, food, clothing, a car, car & home insurance, utilities, furniture, and a few luxuries. Got it ?
And doesn't include drug habits, gambling, or any other such stupidities.
In 2012, there were 3.6 million hourly paid workers in the United States with wages at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. These workers made up 4.7 percent of the 75.3 million workers age 16 and over who were paid at hourly rates. In 2012, 6 percent of women who were paid hourly rates had wages at or below the prevailing federal minimum, compared with about 3 percent of men.
Maybe these "people" shouldn't by cars they can't afford.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.
Better yet, maybe they should get paid enough so they can afford necessities. A car in most places is a necessity.
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.
as well as prices and the cost of living...
try taking a course in basic economics, dumb fuck...
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 ?

Only 4.7% of the population works for minimum wage. Go look it up.
That means that Americans get it. You get minimum wage job, work it a year or two, and then begin the upward progression of your working, adult life.
Even those who have had to settle for a minimum wage job have only to wait until the democrat figures out how to get the economy going again, to get back into a well paying job.
You really need to learn to think before typing.

Why did Obama ask for a $10.10 minimum wage? All this will do is take away the power of the government from the private sector and put in the hands of a bunch of senseless Americans. We as Americans must realize that the rich are the people that offer the true economic opportunities that this nation has to offer. The $10.10 minimum wage will bring the social classes together and there won't be any room for mobility. We must keep corporate America.
It won't be going up for the rest of us. Just the federal government contract workers.Outside of the fact that this entire thread is so much BS, let Me remind you that while you're wrong about minimum wage, the rest of America is not.You want a picture drawn, in living color ?

That number is going to go waaay up when the minimum wage is bumped up nearly $3/hour.
I know you don't want to know facts.
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.
You find lying about unbridled capitalism more relaxing than learning.
Is anyone surprised?

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!
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.
.
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.
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.
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 know people who make minimum wage who have never had a car repossessed, but don't tell the idiot that.

If you actually taught that it is no wonder you don't have a job anymore.
As a conservative, I'd like to support you but wtf are you saying?
Raising the minimum wage won't affect the rich at all. It will kill off the small business owner and put more money in the control of the huge corporations.
Because money is magic.

True only if wages go up because of private investment in the community. If the cause of the rise in wages is some government mandate, then higher unemployment is the result.
