Reality likes to bitch slapp idiots like you.. Where was your complaint on the debt when Obama was doubling it? Now you want to continue the fantasy by wonder trains to nowhere and all kinds fantasy left wing fruitcake plans..where are you getting your right wing fantasy from?You could confiscate the total means of production for your fantasy and it would still end in the collapse and deaths of millions... Your a fucking IDIOT!taxes have to cover costs. it really is that simple. higher paid labor pays more in taxes and creates more in demand. wages merely need to beat inflation.a fallacy of false Cause? the right wing usually has only misconceptions about price inflation for Labor.and more demand increases prices which creates more poverty....and then you have the inescapable fact that higher minimum wages reach a point where minimum wage employees simply don't have the value required to justify employing them.
This is especially true in production work...in that sort of work, the amount of a particular product an employee can do determines his value to the employer...raise the minimum wage that an employer must pay the employee during the time he is becoming productive lengthens the time between hiring and the time the employee actually starts carrying his weight...this discourages new hires....and as much as you may wish it so, burger flipping, and custodial work will never be worth 15 dollars an hour...it will be cheaper to automate such work and thus put even more people out of work...
Raising minimum wage past a certain break point (and we really don't know what that might be) will do nothing but create more poverty rather than reduce it.
price inflation for fuel is more pervasive and the right wing complains less.
a cost of living adjustment is what we are referring to. wages should always outpace inflation.
Not when the wages in question are not warranted by the work produced...Why not simply take the whole idea to its logical conclusion and raise wages to 50 dollars an hour or 100 dollars an hour....give it a year, and the same people who are living at or near poverty today, will be in the same shape with no improvement in their living conditions even though they are making 100 dollars an hour.
People who believe minimum wage increases help the poorest among us are people who have never had to write a pay check...you think the wage is the only expense an employer pays when he hires someone? Think again..
how are you right wingers going to pay for this:
