Elizabeth Warren Wonders: Why Aren?t Employers Paying $22-an-Hour Minimum Wage Rates? | Video | TheBlaze.com


Can you imagine how much a gallon of milk would be if that was the case

Another crypto commie pretending to be a Democrat. She's emblematic of the decline of this country. So many people no longer see getting paid based on providing some value, thus worthless degrees like Women's Studies or anything else including circus clown are ok...

 

[g5000]

Holy smokes! She thinks minimum wage should go up commensurate with productivity? And this person is making decisions which affect our economy?

Technology has more to do with the increase in productivity. It isn't like a teenager working at McDonald's (the actual minimum wage earner) is responsible for increased productivity.

The more frequently Warren opens her mouth, the more of an idiot she makes of herself.

 

[NYcarbineer]

That's based on where the minimum wage would be if the minimum wage had grown at the same rate overall income grew in the past 45 years.

omg, and they talk about the crazies in the Republican party

gawd help us

 

[Clementine]

Warren is an idiot and it's amazing she got re-elected. She hates wealthy people and big companies and was open about that. She, like many on the left, believe that government is what makes a country great. She forgot that we had schools, roads, hospitals and transportation before a liberal administration decided to start stealing from people's incomes. Yes, the hard working people in the private sector had the ball rolling and made this country great before some shithead politicians decided they could confiscate wealth and take over.

If our standard for minimum wages had kept pace with overall income growth in the American economy, it would now be $21.16 per hour.

In terms of 2001 dollars, the minimum wage in 1979 was worth $6.55. It fell to $4.62 in 1989, rose modestly in the early and mid-1990s, but today in 2003 is equivalent to only $4.94 an hour. The minimum wage is 21.4% less today than it was in 1979.

Sure, and can you imaging how many more uneducated/unintelligent/inexperienced workers would not be able to find work at all and would therefore be forced on the dole? And as we know, get someone hooked on handouts and they make for a very reliable vote for more handouts. THAT'S Warren's plan.

 

[francoHFW]

All Pubcrappe of course. The Blaze is totally FOS. Btw, the min wage in Australia is $15, and $13 in NZ, and all your fears are BS. Perfect dupes of the greedy idiot rich, the people whose income rise leads to this illustration by Warren...certainly not the rest of us...see sig pp1.

 

[BreezeWood]

sounds reasonable, someone wake up the Obama Administration.

Pot, kettle, I see you've met.

Warren got elected because Massachusetts is stuck on stupid and one of the reasons why I took the opportunity to leave when it was presented to me. Scott Brown was the best damn Senator we had in my lifetime. The man came from a modest blue collar background, showed common sense, was fair, and honest. Even if you didn't agree with all of his positions, the man has integrity which is more than you could ever say about Kennedy, Kerry, Tsongas, and this dishonest socialist bitch that's there now. If it weren't for all the Obama drones coming out en masse on Election Day to keep their free shit coming Brown would still be there.

You should apply for a job with them. Sounds like you're birds of a feather.

22$ is a bit silly, but 15-18$ is a bit more like it. IDK, we have a service based nation now, wont happen.

I graduated college and was making 32$ an hour right off the bat, and in a union. Tell you what, I worked hard, did my job and went above and beyond and was rewarded. Sort of nice to be an American if you ask me.

But thinking someone can live off of 8$ an hour or what ever it is. That's just cruel.

We have a lot more billionaires and millionaires that we did 20 years ago, so the money is there. Its just stuck at the top of the heap.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Let's try again.

She's saying that if the pie of American income, in total, were distributed the same way it was distributed 40 years ago,

a person on minimum wage would make 22 bucks an hour.

The 15 bucks an hour that he isn't making is now going to someone else,

obviously someone up the income scale.

How so, brainwashed shyttehead/laughing hyena superdupe? LOL Example?

 

[FireFly]

Minimum wage should be raised only high enough to keep workers & their families out of poverty & off of government tit welfare programs. That amount would be about $11/hr to allow workers to support themselves so they do not rely on tax payers. Having minimum wage to low as we have today creates more government dependent voters & bigger nanny-state.

A $22 minimum wage is to high & would cause wage push inflation. Low wage workers & welfare recipients are already getting the equivalent of $11/hr & consuming at the equivalent lifestyle rate. Boosting minimum wage to $11/hr will have no affect on prices or inflation. But above that will cause prices to rise & job loss.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

If minimum wage was suddenly raised to such a figure, there would be skyrocketing inflation, and in a very short order, $22.00 an hour would have about the same buying power of todays minimum wage.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Just remember guys: Dollar Devaluation and Free Trade Agreements have NOTHING to do with the state the Economy is in today.

Nothing.

That is the problem you have.

No one thinks that anyone can or should live on 8 dollars an hour. We DO think that 8 an hour is far to high a wage for a teenager entering the workforce for the first time and brings little to no skills to the table.

Of course, you realize that people who have been on minimum wage for the past 10 years have a real problem. However, the problem is now with their wages. It is with them.
