CBO: Democrats' proposed Min-wage hike would cost businesses $15 billion

[Mac1958]

Just think of how much busineses would save if they didn't have to pay workers at all.

Perfect leftist response.

Think that one through a bit, take an Advil™, lay down a while.

[Mr Natural]

Thst damn Lincoln and his Civil War put the the kibosh on free labor.

Bastard!

 

[rightwinger]

Then 'low cost workers' as you quaintly put it, should better their situation and move up then shouldn't they?

MORON

Our society depends on a steady supply of low cost workers. If not illegal immigrants, we need a steady flow of low paid minimum wage workers.

The one percent depend on it

Why upset the AppleCart ?

NO ONE forces them to take the job you schmuck.
Don't want the job? Doesn't PAY enough? Then move on.

SIMPLE.

No one forces you to own a business. If you don't want to pay a fair wage, then move on

SIMPLE

SO? YOUR remedy is to make it difficult to start/own/operate a business by government FIAT?

NOT a fan of free market? Obviously you aren't. YOU are an enemy to liberty.

Get the FUCK out of here you God-Damned CLOWN.

So you don't think that the employer and employee should have the FREEDOM to negotiate a mutually beneficial contract?

No he doesn't. Government should be mediator between two parties in his world. OPPOSITE of the Founders...but RW is a Socialist toad...a Government worker...(or was that leech)?

Just because you own a business doesn't entitle you to a free ride with low cost taxpayer supported labor

Fucking moocher

 

[oldfart]

A Senate Democratic bill gradually increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 hourly would require private businesses to spend $15 billion more in salaries

You say that as if that is a bad thing!

American workers will earn more money? OH MY GOD! That's terrible!

Bear in mind that none of the right-wing posters has actually read the CBO report. Finding the url is too challenging for them.

Hint for the OP: it's a government agency, the url has eleven characters, starts with "www" and has two periods.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why don't we think of it as a 15 billion dollar gain for the lowest paid workers in America?

See, you feel better already...

The Mexicans work their butt off here for ten bucks an hour.
Five bucks to mow my lawn.

15 billion less that the taxpayers have to subsidize

Bullshit, they will just raise the numbers for poverty, they still won't pay taxes and will keep drawing the benefits.

 

[Darkwind]

Yeah those bastard poor fucking fucks, they'll take that 15 billion and put it in an offshore account and earn tax free dividends and interest all at the expense of,........wait no that's not what they'll do.....They'll turn it around and put it right back into the economy.

So what. It is NOT yours to take.

Well no not mine, I'm a peon. When I first started working the minimum wage was 1.65. Since then the government has mandated an increase in the minimum wage numerous times, so I beg to differ with you in that the government does have the right to increase it.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Less than 3% of workers make minimum wage now tell me what businesses do you think pay only minimum wage?

Is it the multinational conglomerate fortune 100? No

Is it big domestic business? No

Is it the small businessman who barely makes enough to keep his doors open and actually pays some workers more than minimum wage but not the proposed minimum wage who will feel the pain most? Yes.

Then he needs to change his business model and practices so that he can run a business well enough to make a profit AND pay his employees a decent wage.

There is more profit to be made by paying low wages and letting the taxpayer pay for food, housing and healthcare

It is a win-win for business
