DC's Minimum Wage Really Does Cost Jobs At Walmart

[Wyatt earp]

Walmart is closing dozens of stores in states where the WALMART minimum wage is higher than the state minimum wage.

Have you forgotten this?

Walmart is raising its minimum wage for more than 100,000 U.S. workers

Read the article. Next month, claims Walmart, its own minimum wage will be $10.

And yet, you idiots claim that this big store closing plan is about minimum wage.

You're stupid.

Well... it is.

That makes perfect sense to me.

Think about it.... because of all this "Fight for 15" crap, Walmart instituted a corporate wide minimum wage.

Well in states where the labor cost is significantly lower, they are closing stores.

That is perfectly logical. If other stores are paying their employees lower wages, that places Walmart at a competitive disadvantage. Thus, they are being driven out of those markets.

So all your poor employees that are supposedly soaking up tons of government benefits and welfare while working at Walmart, are now so much better off, earning ZERO, and getting tons MORE welfare and benefits.

I'm not sure why you people on the left can't think that through. Economic education must be terrible.

Slavery was full employment for black people.

Since you are using the race card, you are aware that the Minimum wage was instituted to prevent the minority from working, are you not?


On The Historically Racist Motivations Behind Minimum Wage



The business-friendly National Center for Policy Analysis points out “the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, requiring ‘prevailing’ wages on federally assisted construction projects, was supported by the idea that it would keep contractors from using ‘cheap colored labor’ to underbid contractors using white labor.”

African-American economist Thomas Sowell with Stanford University’s Hoover Institutiongives an uncomfortable historical primer behind minimum wage laws:


“In 1925, a minimum-wage law was passed in the Canadian province of British Columbia, with the intent and effect of pricing Japanese immigrants out of jobs in the lumbering industry.

A Harvard professor of that era referred approvingly to Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese” who were willing to work for less.

In South Africa during the era of apartheid, white labor unions urged that a minimum-wage law be applied to all races, to keep black workers from taking jobs away from white unionized workers by working for less than the union pay scale.”

Los Angeles residents of impoverished Chinatown were shocked to learn on January 17 that the Walmart they pleaded for years to get would be shut down at 7 p.m. Sunday evening due to the city’s new $15 minimum wage ordinance, and union harassment.

Yes, Minimum Wages Still Increase Unemployment

Indeed, the Davis-Bacon Act, which demands that private employers pay “prevailing wages” for any government contracts, was explicitly passed as a Jim Crow law in order to protect white jobs from cheaper black competitors. And while the minimum wage is supported with much more pleasant rhetoric these days, the effects on black employment, particularly black teenage employment, have been devastating. As Thomas Sowell observes,

In 1948 … the unemployment rate among black 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds was 9.4 percent, slightly lower than that for white kids the same ages, which was 10.2 percent. Over the decades since then, we have gotten used to unemployment rates among black teenagers being over 30 percent, 40 percent or in some years even 50 percent.

It’s hard to imagine that black unemployment was actually less than that of whites. But that is the effect minimum wage laws can have.

Lets do the math, the black teenage unemployment rate was lower then the teenage crackas pre Minimum wage, today the teenage honkeys unemployment rate are way lower then unemployed black teens

For Adults the black unemployment rate is almost twice that of Crackers.

So the conclusion with anyone with a brain is The Minimum wage laws are racist!!!!!!!!!!

These days, it's mostly used as pablum to inspire the dummies. Sorta like conservatives used to use flag burning laws to get people stirred up.

It is, however, a good opportunity to shine a light on ignorance and maybe, just maybe, wake a few liberals up to the scams they're falling for. Doesn't it ever seem odd that the more you vote for this kind of stuff, the more your leaders sell you out to corporate interests? (eg ACA)

Its always weird to me that the left's only solution is to rah rah around the minimum wage, it's bread crumbs and never does anything except to shut up the working poor for votes.

It targets individuals and not working poor family's.

In five ~ ten years we will hear the same thing again about them wanting to raise the minimum wage.

Fewer people being taught how to go on Medicaid and Food Stamps...Sounds good to me.

What the fuck you talking about? The stores they were going to open up was around 450 jobs. Where their is no FUCKING jobs.

The three stores that opened up in the D.C. area had like 5,000 applicants for only 300 jobs if memory serves me correctly.

In case you were unaware, Walmart instructs their low wage employees how to apply for Medicaid and Food Stamps.
No Walmart jobs = no extra Middle Class Tax Payer money going to support low wage Walmart employees.
Smaller stores with less leeching government power will fill the gap.

Oy vay....The uninformed and the sucker for the rumor mill.

[Cecilie1200]

I have addressed these issues already.
And yes, our Federal Tax Dollars go across our great nation and to other nations.

No more than my Federal tax dollars go to support liberal welfare programs on LI.

We're even.

Now explain why you think keeping jobs from DC is a good thing.

Did I not just mention my support for helping locals to own and grow stores?
Did I mess something there?
Do you own Walmart stock?
LI Liberal? Good one!

I don't think anyone here has a problem with you using your money to support locals. That's what I do too. But other people actually like Wal-Mart, and they should be able to support them as they see fit, eh?

I hate local businesses whose main advertising thrust is to tell me how they're "locally owned" and I should support local stores. This is commerce, not charity, and whining at me about how I "owe" you "support" without telling me what I'M getting out of the deal - other than a smug sense of leftist moral superiority - is not telling me anything I need to know. I can't see any way in which I could possibly care less.

I have my opinion whether or not you agree.
And I'm NOT the one who decides whether or not Walmart opens near you.
If Walmart lets you down...blame Walmart.

WalMart hasn't let me down. I like WalMart just fine, probably because I don't sit around imagining that it's my job to tell them how to run their business like you do.

I haven't told you not to have an opinion, Twinkles. I've just told you that it fits the old saying about opinions and assholes. You have a right to have your opinion, and I have a right to tell you it's full of shit.

WalMart doesn't have to instruct anyone in applying for welfare, dumbass. The welfare office will be more than happy to do that for anyone who can't figure it out.

No WalMart jobs = even more Middle Class Taxpayer money going to support unemployed people who WOULD have been WalMart employees if it wasn't for self-satisfied tweekos like you.

Yeah, smaller stores are DEFINITELY going to be able to pay better wages and benefits than WalMart does. 'Cause mom 'n' pop stores are just ROLLING in money.

Should the Court have the power to rule on constitutionality or not?

So the will of the people doesn't matter? I thought you said it did earlier. I guess that only matters when it's your will the people want.

Are you nuts? We've won the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. In 2000 Bush's brother Jeb and Jeb's concubine Katherine Harris stole the election by cooking the books in Jeb's state(FL). I wouldn't trust a Republican in the shit house with a muzzle on.

You were running? What office?

If you're claiming illegal activity went on, prove it or STFU.

I wouldn't piss on a Democrat if he/she was on fire to put them out unless I could piss gasoline.

Illegal is in the eyes of the beholder. A close friend of mine was assigned to the Boca Raton area working for a third party maintenance group and they were called to fix the machines which were "hanging chad." He said he did not see the first punched card which had been disqualified that a person couldn't positively identify the intentions of the voter and that nearly all of the "disqualified" votes were obviously Democrat. I wouldn't trust a goddam right wing tax cutter in the shithouse with a muzzle on. Jeb Bush and his concubine Katherine Harris stole that election for George Bush......PERIOD! Al Gore got over half a million more votes nation wide than George Bush. Damn strange coincidence that Jeb was the governor and without Florida Gore would have won. That whole goddam rat race, both state and supreme court on a vote of 5-4 in favor of Republicans gave it to the tax cutting, war mongering idiot!

Funny because I heard that exact same story... and I mean EXACT same story, and you said it almost verbatim.... except they said 'republican' instead of 'democrat'. In short, I don't believe anything you just said. I've heard that fairy tale from a dozen different sources, and the only thing that changes is that if it's a Republican source, they say republican votes were disqualified, if it's a democrap source, then democrat votes were disqualified.

Here's what I do know.... Bill Clinton was caught a dozen times violating the law, and committing felonies. You people on the left defended a criminal.

You have no credibility judging anyone, you felon supporting trash.

And as for Katherina Harris... why you even mention her is beyond me. She followed the law. Period. Of course given you are felon supporting scum bag, it must tick you off that she followed the law. Evil people always hate the good people.

"You People On The Left" LMAO!!! The Republican party initiated the impeachment of Bill Clinton......they had spent over $100 million over an eight year period trying to find something to nail him for. After Larry Flynt told a few stories on the Republicans as bad or worse than Clinton's sexual activities the impeachment failed in the senate. There's never been a continuous "Witch Hunt" like the one Republicans launched trying to remove Clinton from office.......Guess What?? He served his two terms and left office with a 66% approval rating.

Walmart is closing dozens of stores in states where the WALMART minimum wage is higher than the state minimum wage.

Have you forgotten this?

Walmart is raising its minimum wage for more than 100,000 U.S. workers

Read the article. Next month, claims Walmart, its own minimum wage will be $10.

And yet, you idiots claim that this big store closing plan is about minimum wage.

You're stupid.

Well... it is.

That makes perfect sense to me.

Think about it.... because of all this "Fight for 15" crap, Walmart instituted a corporate wide minimum wage.

Well in states where the labor cost is significantly lower, they are closing stores.

That is perfectly logical. If other stores are paying their employees lower wages, that places Walmart at a competitive disadvantage. Thus, they are being driven out of those markets.

So all your poor employees that are supposedly soaking up tons of government benefits and welfare while working at Walmart, are now so much better off, earning ZERO, and getting tons MORE welfare and benefits.

I'm not sure why you people on the left can't think that through. Economic education must be terrible.

Slavery was full employment for black people.

Since you are using the race card, you are aware that the Minimum wage was instituted to prevent the minority from working, are you not?


On The Historically Racist Motivations Behind Minimum Wage



The business-friendly National Center for Policy Analysis points out “the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, requiring ‘prevailing’ wages on federally assisted construction projects, was supported by the idea that it would keep contractors from using ‘cheap colored labor’ to underbid contractors using white labor.”

African-American economist Thomas Sowell with Stanford University’s Hoover Institutiongives an uncomfortable historical primer behind minimum wage laws:


“In 1925, a minimum-wage law was passed in the Canadian province of British Columbia, with the intent and effect of pricing Japanese immigrants out of jobs in the lumbering industry.

A Harvard professor of that era referred approvingly to Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese” who were willing to work for less.

In South Africa during the era of apartheid, white labor unions urged that a minimum-wage law be applied to all races, to keep black workers from taking jobs away from white unionized workers by working for less than the union pay scale.”

Nice try.

He is absolutely right. So it's bit more than a 'nice try'. It's the truth.

Nice try.

At what? Exposing the truth?

No. nice try at using irrelevant bullshit to make a fallacious claim.

You really hate the fucking truth don't you?

The truth isn't giving everything to the top 5% of the population and shutting down all competition. We need to look at the early 20th century on how they broke the monoplies and fight to rebuild what built this country into the world power it was.

Your idea of the truth is shitty.
