Democrat motive for $15 minimum wage?

They think they can force the world to be ideal.
Every other modern country has a living wage not to mention cheap college and training Healthcare daycare one month vacations paid parental leave ID cardto end illegal immigration. But we have the scumbag GOP and silly dupes like you. All we need to do is have a progressive tax system again....
 
Do any of you libtards disagree that raising the minimum wage to $15 will reduce the number of entry level/low skill jobs? If so, please state your case, LOL.
Why do you care? Paying some poor saps minimum wage and getting worried you might have to give them more?
 
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?
I don’t support a nation wide $15 an hour bill however if you want to know the dems motivation behind the policy it is very simple. They want people to be able to make a livable wage and not have to work multiple jobs or work full time and still be in poverty. A healthy free market should show wage increases to keep up with living costs however our system is not very healthy so things are going to start being regulated by the government. This is unfortunate but it’s the truth.
Which of course is why wages are rising...….ooooops
What do you mean “which of course...” what are you responding to?
ypu...wages are rising smartly. Most of your inflation is housing related due to fraud unaddressed by govt so now its cooked in. Funny what happens when you dont enforce laws. Add govt green energy schemes on to you energy bill, thanks govt. Gas Prices are lower than they were during Katrina when we drove down.
 
Unions. Many union contracts are min wage plus based. A min wage increase means an instant raise for every union worker.

Guess which party gets union political contributions and support?

And the last thing America needs is a well paid workforce.

“Prosperity Through Lower Wages!”
 
It's an election year ploy that makes the republican "party of the working man" show that they are pants-on-fire lying sacks of shit. Just mention a minimum wage increase and they scream like someone stuck them with a red-hot poker. Just mention a tax cut for the big bosses and they can't line up to kiss rich man ass fast enough.

Answer is simple

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

We are looking at a starting wage
A wage that hasn’t been raised in ten years

Ok, but what does any of that have to do with what I said?

Higher paid labor pays more in taxes and creates more in demand in any long run equilibrium.

Every other modern country has a living wage not to mention cheap college and training Healthcare daycare one month vacations paid parental leave ID cardto end illegal immigration. But we have the scumbag GOP and silly dupes like you. All we need to do is have a progressive tax system again....
In the US, we already have a federal doctrine and State laws that can solve this dilemma on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

the right wing eschews it, because the Poor may benefit.

First of all....the $15 will be phased in
Secondly, employers have profited from a min wage frozen at $7.25 for ten years
Thirdly, the market will adjust....it always does

You guys do not cut the taxes of the peasant. You raise taxes in all ways. So the peasant pays for it and the money they earn is cheapened. You make sure the privileged jobs are taken care of. So when you raise taxes on them they do not feel it. The others who vote for you are pure suckers. With TV telling them so.
The wage scale in red states and their regressive tax structure is nothing to brag about. Since we are personalizing this you pay people shit and then you tax the fuck out them.

“Prosperity Through Lower Wages!”
As opposed to "Prosperity Through Higher Taxes?"

The last thing this country needs is more WashDC meddling in domestic issues and policies. Believe it or not what works in Tennessee may not work in Connecticut. The authority to set min wage is the right of states and municipalities ... not WashDC.

There is a Federal minimum and a state minimum
States are free to require a higher wage

a legal term regarding employment at the will of either party.

I am supportive of some progressive ideology. Y'all don't realize you can't actually put bandaids on everything and save everybody, though.

We dont need higher minimum for reason you stated.

Sure it has. Many states and municipalities have higher min wage than the federal one. So the only question is why must you LIE to press your "Worker's Paradise" narrative, Comrade?
Some do, many don’t
Time to look at the interests of min wage workers instead of employers who are exploiting them

Here is where the whole crazy scheme falls flat on its face. Does anyone really think that if person A is making $9.00 an hour and person B is making $15.00 an hour and person C is making $20.00 an hour. Do they really think that if person A suddenly makes $15.00 an hour that person B will just shrug his shoulders or will he want more money? Will person C also want more? Of course they will both want more believing rightly so that they are worth more then minimum wage as the were before it was artificially inflated.
Companies will still need to make a certain amount of profit or go bankrupt. The way they will do that is to increase the cost of their products.
So for a short time the artificially inflated minimum wage will seem like a god send until wages and prices for products increase then minimum wage will be equal in purchasing power to before the artifial raise. It is called inflation.
We could continue on artificially raising minimum wage and letting prices raise in a crazy idea that we can make everyone artificially happy until we need a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread.
