California raises minimum wage to $10 an hour

[TakeAStepBack]

I'm doing just fine, thanks. Contrary to your shitty argument.

 

[Papageorgio]

So employers will admit that even though their pockets are lined with cash, they are so selfish and greedy they would hire useless people just to pay them less?

Good grief, that is not what he said, why are you so dramatic, re-read. If I can hire a guy worth $10 an hour for $10 an hour, then you are putting the guy who is worth $7.50 for $10 an hour, out of work.

Also if payroll is 25% higher! you find ways to cut expenses. In most businesses the biggest expense is labor. Where does one cut first?

Yes, you are very cuckoo, now go get help.

If people are trying to raise a family of 8 on minimum wage that is a problem right there.
Minimum wage jobs are for kids.Kids going to school not raising a family and saddled with a mortgage.

Who the hell are you to say who minimum wage is for? Oh, I forgot, another conservative-elitist snob wannbe chimes in.

Who the hell are you to interfere in a private contract between two private entities?

A minimum wage has been in effect for 70+ years and yet somehow we've managed to survive.

And even prosper.

one thing is certain

no matter how much you raise the minimum wage

it always remains the minimum wage

that day is here. The country is 17 trillion in debt and adding another trillion every year. there are more people in poverty than ever before, more on food stamps, more barely making ends meet, the unemployment rate has been 7% or more for 5 years, we have not had a federal budget for 5 years, the world is laughing at our incompetent president, the country is divided on almost every issue.

the "hell to pay" day has arrived and obama has ushered it in.


and yet, assholes like you continue your blind worship of the kenyan messiah, pathetic.

Oh, sure. Just look at all the prosperity we have going on here.......

It's too bad if you don't have what it takes to make it in America.

Yes, if you need government to negotiate your wages for you, you're a loser.

Yet another concept liberals don't grasp, relative versus absolute effects.

Chip enough concrete off a column and eventually the whole thing falls down. Each part of the modern progressive economic system is a chip, and sooner or later the whole mess is coming down.

If all you can earn is minimum wage then you shouldnt be starting a family in the first place.

Well, it's not the government's job to try and fix people's shitty life choices. YOu demonize success, and advocate poor choices. It's the LOLberal way.

No, 30+ years of trickle down, voodoo Reaganomics caused that.

How is dicating the minimum you can pay someone to work for you not interfering?

First, the minimum wage is not, nor ever has been, meant to "raise a family".

Second, since such a large percentage of people who work minimum wage are teenage kids, please describe precisely how it makes sense in a market economy to pay these people as much as someone who is supposedly "raising a family".

Looking forward to this.

Full disclosure: Not expecting a straight answer.

Who in the hell are you to say it's not the government's job to try to help people make a decent livable wage. It is called, "promote the general welfare" and it is in the constitution. It's the American way pal, deal with it.


You obviously hate the constitution and America. Bad choices.

promote the general welfare does not mean what you think it means. Also, the rest of the document was intended to limit how much government we would get, a limit that has all been but abandoned.

Your interpretation of the constitution has been found wanting. It's a wonder that the government didn't start a minimum wage back in the 1800s....
