Good News in the fight for 15.

[Flash]

If the filthy ass government would get off the backs of Americans then we could compete with anybody in the world in many areas and wages would be higher.

I love this solution because its hard to figure out what exactly "get off the backs" actually means but it sounds cool tho

Since you are a Moon Bat then is is obvious you don't have a clue what that means.

The filthy ass Federal government has over two million stupid regulations on the books. The States and locals have a similar number combined.

The combined cost of government in this country is 40% of the GDP, which is greater than the total GDP of all but two other countries on the face of the earth according to the CIA Factbook. That is a tremendous burden on the productive economy. The type of burden that destroyed other countries.

Obama is the first President in the history of this country that did not have a 3% growth rate during his administration and that is because he was more interested in slicking up the economic pie into more peices than he was in making the pie bigger. Typical Liberal stupidity and we all are suffering because of it.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Yeah so, what's your solution tho? I get it, big govt...but what does that have to do with low wages?

 

[longknife]

Hey! Lets look at the bright side of this. SOMEONE is making money manufacturing the kiosks. Probably just not an American company.

Wendy's is gross.

Wendy's International, Inc. Employer Wages, Hourly Wage Rate | PayScale Canada
Oh, really? Average crew hourly pay is between $9.79 and $11.55 per hour- not $7.50, as you stated.

Simple-minded liberals - "Lets force business to pay people at least $15 an hour and we'll all be rich".

They're doing this with the minimum wage at 7.25, not 15.

True, which means their average pay is well within what most people think should be the minimum wage only, making your claims that raising the minimum wage would cause loss of jobs ludicrous on the face of them.

So you think that automation has no connection with labor costs?

They automated crop harvesting in many ways when the alternative was to hire human pickers who were working for extremely low wages.

And?

Relate that to what I have stated.

Sure it does. Companies are always looking for a way to cut costs.


I just think it's absolutely stupid to suggest that technological advances in the fast food industry are a a reason not to bring the minimum wage back in line with inflation. No scratch that, I KNOW it's a stupid excuse made by idiots who champion ideology over common sense.

Actually, the argument is that inflating wages will cause job loses. Your straw man is a simplification to ignore the issue.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Oh, a 10 dollar an hour job will support a family...

Poor people shouldn't have families. But a single person can live very well on $10 an hour if they get a 40 hour week,

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Why do liberals want to increase the minimum wage for Americans when they support illegals coming into the country and taking jobs for less money, when they demand the govt increase the number of visas that allow them to bring in illegals to replace American workers for less?

Do liberals even realize how f*ed up that is, how it makes no sense

good point. Without the illegals wages would rise automatically. But, like the repubs, dem politicians are raking in huge bribes from the illegal alien lobby.

China is losing jobs to places like Vietnam where the wages are even lower.

So where's the bottom for you RW'ers?

 

[ShootSpeeders]

If you need the filthy ass government setting your wages for you then you are probably a pretty sorry worker.

You really need to get off your fat ass and develop some useful skills so your labor will be in demand and you can get higher wages.

All these liberals want the govt setting wages because that's the only way they can make good money. That useless degree in "media ecology" won't get them a job. Should have studied STEM but no - they chose an easy major so they could party for 4 years.

With obamacare here, a single person can now live very well on a $1200 (before deductions) a month. If they work 32 hours a week and at 4.333 weeks in a month, that comes out to 8.65 an hour.

Apple and Microsoft are right wingers?

Wow look how the far left sees everyone as right wing!

Silly far left drone!

 

[kiwiman127]

The right won't be happy until their children are making 25 cents an hour!
That's how bright and short-sighted the right is.

This from afar left drone that pays their illegal help 25 cents an hour which is why they support an open border..

Silly far left drone!

Your taxes pay the salaries of underpaid Americans working fulltime.

That's what you want.

We can't even get people to work for the national minimum wage. HTF do you expect anybody (including children) to work for 25 cents an hour?

It's not the right-wingers in play here. If anything, it's more left.

Wal-Mart is number one (and has been for some time) because they offer the lowest prices and best selection. They can do this with foreign made products that Democrats rush to the store to buy.

It's not minimum wage, it's not tariffs, it's not politicians or government. It's the consumer that keeps this trend growing.

Elect anybody you want, but until you can change the minds of the American consumers to buy American made products and support good jobs, then nobody will ever be able to change a thing about our dependency of foreign made products.

You want a permanent class of working poor. Good for you. Enjoy your couple bucks a week.
