Democrat motive for $15 minimum wage?

So why not raise the minimum to $30? If it helps the economy so much, that seems like a no brainer. It is rather obvious that not much thought has been put into the $15 wage because our country has much different costs of living from state to state. It is an arbitrary number thought up by left-wingers to get votes from the lower class. Unfortunately, we have many middle class folks who are too ignorant to see the ploy. Stop falling for the nonsense.
Because it does not need to go to $30
$15 an hour will make up for ten years of frozen wages

After that, there should be annual cost of living raises
If you're try to live on minimum wage, you're a loser.
Who says anyone has to live a life at minimum wage?
Doesn’t excuse you for being exploited while you are

Don’t worry kid, someday, someone will pay you more........not me

Apparently you think $15 is a "living wage".
No, I don’t
I think it is a starting wage

A wage young people can use to pay for college, buy a car, get started in life
You're not getting the fact that everything is relative. Minimum wage goes up, so do the prices of college, cars, and getting started in life. Minimum wage jobs were never meant be a person's total income or "living wage".
 
$15 is not enough I say $20.

Heck, lets make it $50. A 16 year old making snow cone can bring home 90k/yr. Seems like a great idea. What could possibly go wrong. According to what I have read in this thread, corporations could pay it and it wouldn't negatively affect anything.
Shut the f up, brainwashed functional moron. In Australia it is $19. How horrible that would be right fool?
Aussie $$ are worth 1/3 less than US $$. How is it you NEVER manage to tell the truth ... only your idiotic commie POV, Comrade Franco?
$19 in American dollars, idiot.
No it's not, so either you are a bitter, LYING commie or just a plain old ignorant one.
so many ad hominems, so little time.

We have to say this over and over again, minimum wage laws are racist.
 
Happening all over the country
Not just Washington
Yep, and it's nothing but a con game. Raising minimum wage doesn't increase the buying power of minimum wage workers. In fact, it hurts the buying power of retired seniors on fixed incomes.
Ridiculous
That money goes right into the economy. The assumption that minimum wage increases would be negated by a dollar for dollar inflation increase is a conservative myth

If that was the case minimum wage would still be 25 cents


.
If conservatives had their way

So you admit minimum wage cause inflation?

.

No, but they are diminished by inflation. That is why we need to raise them after ducking the issue for ten years
 
BS. I live in Washington state and our minimum wage is $12/hr. I've witnessed the increase in everything over the last 5 years when minimum wage was $9 to where it is now. It's common sense. I've seen fast food lunches go from $5 to $8 and $9 in that time. You're not dealing with reality. You must think the business owner is going to take the loss in paying higher wages instead of raising prices. Nope. Talk about a con game. There is no increase in buying power for the minimum wage worker, or for anyone.

None of those are linked to the cost of minimum wage

There you go with living wage again, I said starting wage.

Okay, starting wage. The higher the starting wage, the less investment a company can make and the less it can pay the good workers in raises.

Everyone should know that this will reduce the number of entry level/low skill jobs, so what is the Democrat motive for a $15/hr minimum wage?

The answer is that this is exactly the result they want: Fewer people working and more people dependent on government programs.

Guess how they will vote?
Answer is simple

Minimum wage has not been raised in ten years. $15 will just begin to recoup lost spending power

Except it will cause job loss as employers move to automation.
They are moving to automation with the wage at $7.25

There is a cost benefit analysis and at $8 say it still makes sense to keep human employees but at $15 it becomes less expensive to go the automation route. Min wage was never intended for people to support themselves. It was intended for part timers and students.
 
How about the lowlife minimum wage worker who spends his money on beer and cigarettes?

For $2.10, I could buy a six pack of beer ($1.25 )and two packs of cigarettes (40 cents a pack).

Today, that $7.25 worker would pay $20 for beer and cigarettes

Minimum wage has not kept up with inflation

The gov raised the tax on alcohol and ciggs.
In some states you pay $5 bucks a pack in taxes.
A pack of Marlboro is over $10 in Washington state. Alcohol is outrageous. I live near the Washington/Idaho state line. Guess where everyone in my Washington neighborhood goes to buy alcohol, tobacco and gasoline?

Have relatives with a place on Lake Okanagan in B.C.
Everytime we go up for a visit the cost of beer,alcohol and ciggs have gone up.
They pay for a twelve pack,which they call a case,what we pay for an actual case of 24.
Then you have to return the bottles for a small rebate.

No your wrong, minimum wage was /is racist.
 
But then the truth is this admin is working to make non-4 yr training and apprenticeships more available and more affordable. So why is it you never know the facts but are always quick to sell your class warfare, Comrade Franco?
Commie much?
When any of your dreams actually happens then will talk. The GOP has never done anything 4 the non Rich except when finally forced to....talking about Communists makes you an obvious brainwashed functional moron. There aren't any...
Another lame defection, Comrade Franco, which you follow with another of your commie LIES because the truth just doesn't work for you. Imagine being the sad-sack Democrat Socialist who will have to run against the truth that you just can't handle:

Job Growth Underscores Economy’s Vigor; Unemployment at Half-Century Low

A nicely and sustainably expanding economy (which has raised all ships) with low inflation.

Historically low unemployment (especially amongst our minorities) with rising wages and disposable income.

A strong dollar and investment markets.

A righting of what had been a listing (left) USSC.

Repeated exposure of our self-serving swamp and the nefarious players within it, including but not limited to our MSM/DNC and high-ranking mutts at both our DOJ & FBI.

No wonder you bitter, bitter leftards are so hysterical. Anything good for America and Americans you consider to be bad.


Thank you Mr Prez and MAGA, baby!! :D
And inequality and upward mobility and the middle class and the working-class just get worse and worse. we need to change our tax system after 35 years of GOP give away to the rich.
Denial??? That is your reaction to America's success & prosperity the last 30 months?

In fact, 47% of taxpayers pay no fed income tax but get to vote for those who decide how much the rest of us must pay.

Representation without taxation. The tyranny of the freeloaders.
cut our useless and alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror to cut costs. We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States.

Try and get a CCL in California.
 
Keep avoiding the topic little troll. You obviously can’t handle a conversation about business practices but if you want to give it a shot perhaps you can explain why you think stagnant wages and growing profits is a healthy practice in business


Your the one claiming to be a pot head smoking liberal business owner on a anonymous political message board not me.


.

Sure tell me you dumb fuck where I can sign up and make millions of dollars from a pot head liberal business owner?

Tulsa only pays $15 bucks an hour in Nevada
What’s does that have to do with anything we are talking about?

Everything because your lying.

.
If I was lying, you’re statement would still be irrelevant none-sense
