California raises minimum wage to $10 an hour

[Seawytch]

ah, the evil profit motive raises its ugly head, all companies should just break even, right? who the fuck needs profit? profit is evil and should be illegal, right?

You are correct. Profit is the root of all evil. The Bible says as much.

Can you cite where in the Bible it says that?

1 Timothy 6:17-19
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Acts 20:35
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Acts 5:1-42
But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it. ...

Show me where Jesus commanded the government to force people into these acts.

The basis of redemption for most Churches is free will, you have the CHOICE to act as a chrisitan, or a CHOICE not to. Coercsion was not part of the original message, it was just added later on as a method of political control.

They will never cost that much.

right, but you did not say that.....

Common sense tells you they wouldn't cost that much.

your right but you said......

People will buy fast food no matter how much it costs.

thats all im replying too.....so my question still stands......

 

[Harry Dresden]

It's amazing how much the hater dupes think labor costs add to a product...perfect chumps of the greedy idiot rich GOP...

its funny Frankie how so many Companies say Labor costs are a big part of their budget....so would that not reflect directly on what they price their product?....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Excessive regulation and taxation , checks and beats conservative/corporate greed most every time.

Yep, it's called sending jobs overseas, works every time and fucks the little guy every time. You really have no clue do you?

Corporate greed sends them overseas. No excessive regulation and taxation over there just cheap-labor.

but yet here in Cal....excessive regulation and taxation are the biggest reason companies site as the reason they are leaving the State.....

Bravo California! Bravo Governor Jerry Brown!




California signs law raising minimum wage to $10/hour by 2016 - NBC News.com

California has become the first state in the nation to commit to raising the minimum wage to $10 per hour, although the increase will take place gradually until 2016 under a bill signed into law by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown on Wednesday.

So you like slash and burn economics, do you? How bad will it have to get in California before they realize liberal economics are actually stupid? When will the rest of the country learn that from California?

California, here we come!

 

[Harry Dresden]

They will never cost that much.

Really, I remember when you could get 10 McDonalds hamburgers for a dollar on Sundays, they were 19 cents other days. Back then you could get 2 burgers, fries and a dink for less than a dollar. So never say never.

You can get a small fries over here for $1.

same here i believe....

Thank God for '99 cents only' stores., My favorite place to shop at.

do you take your dates to MacDonalds for dinner?.....or is that only if you have a coupon?...

 

[Harry Dresden]

1968's min wage would be 11 dollars today. Thanks Pubs...

You have obviously never heard of the FED, or have any idea who they are or what they do. They do count on the stupid like you to keep going though.

So you're one of the ignorant hater dupes that blame everything on the Fed....idiot...lol. Most things killing the nonrich are thanks to greedy idiot Pubs...which you ain't one of...

you are one of the ignorant Dem Dupes who blames everything on Republicans Frankie.....how does that make you any better?.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

My what an elitist attitude you have there pal. Typical though for a corporate-greed raised and influenced child such as yourself.

Yep, very elitist. I earned it. I actually worked for McD's for a week back in the day, got fired since I wasn't conforming. I was way better than that job and went on to make much more than was ever possible at that job. I have no problem with McD's workers they just aren't that useful or worth more than minimum wage. Especially if it increases the price of their crap product to the point I don't want it anymore.

WOW! And yet you still eat that crap that McDonalds calls food? You ARE a certified idiot my friend.

Crap?.....you just got through saying how that Dollar menu is your favorite....do you eat Shit often?....

Listen up! I said the .99 cents menu is my favorite and the .99 cents menu I'm talking is at Burger King, Wendy's, or Carl's Jr.

McDonalds are the only greedy bastards who have to charge $1.00 for their menu. Got to squeeze that last penny from their customers. Freaking greedy shysters. McDonalds food is pure crap compared to the others... not even close.

I've never lived in California but don't most jobs pay more than 10 dollars an hour anyways?

You're arguing that Burger King charges $0.99 for food that is not crap.




Now I can understand why you could think that raising the minimum wage would be a good idea.

I hate McDonalds's food, crappy, tasteless food they serve there they do. I take my dates to Carl's Jr, or Burger King, or better yet, Sonics, mmmm, good burgers there. Coupons are good... bogo free. Why?, got something against coupons?

I've never lived in California but don't most jobs pay more than 10 dollars an hour anyways?

Only in the advanced, civilized parts of the country.

 

[kidrocks]

Plenty to trickle up. The worker now has more to spend on gasoline which means more trips with extra cash on hand to spend on at restaurants, theatres, supermarkets, 7/11's, ballparks, malls, Wal Mart, K-Mart, Target, etc, etc, etc. Get the picture?

Yea and all those products and services they are going to buy at restaurants, theatres, supermarkets, malls, K-Mart, ect.ect.ect will be more expensive since they have to pay their minimum wage employees more. So no wealth is gained at all.

Beg to disagree but I'll bet the house that all restaurants, theatres, supermarkets, 7/11's, ballparks, malls, Wal Mart, K-Mart, Target, etc, etc, etc would vehemently disagree with YOU!

Wealth is gained at each and everyone of those establishments as we speak and yes, minimum wage has no effect on their profits or bottom line at all.

McDonald's starts pay at $12/hr.

Okay, so that was my emphasis, sue me. But I'm not so far off am I ? I don't think Jesus was all that fond of money/profits. After all, He was a socialist you understand.
