The problem is that the jobs being created are low wage jobs.The economy is booming, look at all the new jobs every month, unemployment is going down, not sure where the problem is.You mean the 10s of millions of Americans who make less than $15 an hour? The fact that 40% of the nation's wealth is owned by the top 1% of earners?What wage problem?
Well you have a point about people who worked hard to get to 15, but their feelings is not nearly enough to justify not raising it.It really wouldn't actually. Raising the mininmum wage to 15 gradually over a couple of years will only raise prices slightly and the increase in consumer spending would keep prices stable. This also has to do with inflation. The last time someone could live comfortably off 10 per hour was the 1960s.How does artificially increasing the wages through government fix the problem? All you end up doing is raising level of what we consider poverty. Now poverty will be those making less than twenty an hour instead of those making less than fifteen.
you inflate the cost of living with government intervention and you price the unskilled workers out of the market and force companies to move production overseas.
how does that benefit anyone?
let people be free to make their own career decisions. You'd be shocked at what will happen
There is no evidence raising the wage causes inflation. For one thing, we've raised the wage several times and the economy responded fine.
You aren't taking into account the long term benefit of raising the minimum wage. Yes initially it will cost capital but over time the boost in consumer spending will benefit the economy.
Why do you liberals always leave out the one pesky problem with your $15.00 min wage bullshit?
You claim it wont raise prices to give ONLY min wage workers that magic $15.00 dollars an hour.
What about all the other people who actually have a job that they WORKED hard to reach that $15.00 dollar an hour mark?
What are you going to do for them? And the people who make twenty an hour,are you now going to pay them $27.00 dollars an hour?
If you're so damn stupid you're flipping burgers as an adult ....? Tough shit!!
Another thing Republicans can do to increase wages is get rid of pesky unions. Give employers free reign over their employees and they will reward them with higher wages and benefits. If you can't trust your employer to look out for your best interests....who can you trust

If you want to make more money get off your ample ass and get a second part time job and PRESTO you are making more money.
Told ya. I coulda written your bullshit answer for ya.

yourself. Which is why abdicating responsibility for what you earn to the government or a union will ultimately provide a dead end to your ability to create wealth

Hell yea!
Make each employee negotiate as an individual. That collective bargaining crap is nothing more than socialism
You have to analyze the roots of the issue. Then determine a route to solving them that does not make the problem worse. I believe I have the answers but I'm not convinced you want to listen.If republicans are too immature to admit the low wage problem can't be fixed through forcefully raising the minimum wage, how exactly are we supposed to boost wages? Since the recession there has been a significant decrease of high wage jobs and a significant increase of low wage jobs. How do we fix poverty if 10s of millions of Americans HAVE NO CHOICE but to accept low wage jobs?
Let's pretend republicans had full control over this issue. What would republicans do to boost wages? I want specific answers. Don't give me crap like "undo democratic bullshit of the last 6 years derp derp derp". I want SPECIFIC AND DETAILED steps on how we are supposed to boost wages in this county if raising the minimum wage isn't an option.
The declining wage of the private sector, the doubling of wages in the public sector, the oligopoly on executive wages in public-ally traded corporations.... But more particularly, the movement of high paying jobs off-shore, and the movement of illegals and h1b visa workers into the states that is artificially pushing American wages down.What wage problem?
Should it be ok for companies to ship products built without those pesky rules and regulations to the states? Should it be ok for companies to ship products built with children to the states? Should it be ok for companies to hire people for less than American minimum wages over seas and ship those products to the states?The other main reason wages are so low is that employers have too many pesky rules and regulations. If we get rid of environmental restrictions and labor laws think how much more money employers would have available to pay their workforce. Is there any reason children should not be allowed to work? Think of all the extra money they could bring the family

I was at this "company" that fired the bottom 5-10% every quarter for about 8years straight. When it's only done once a year it's no big deal but when you do it every quarter, and your head count goes from 300k to 90k in 8years... well let's just say it goes from dead weight to dropping entire departments, buildings, and divisions. It goes from common sense layoffs to wholesale off-shoring of American jobs to china and India.Another thing Republicans can do to increase wages is get rid of pesky unions.

Amen haha. There is a good reason why the top companies in the world fire their bottom 10-20%. Why would you keep "dead weight" around not contributing to the greater good. There is always someone waiting to take your place.

Why is it ok for these things to happen off shore, then those products come here on ships and put on American shelves? It's better that way because that stuff did not happen in our back yard?
I've got a better idea why don't we just throw rocks at each other.Should it be ok for companies to ship products built without those pesky rules and regulations to the states?

I agree
Our labor standards should be based on those in China.....look how well they are doing
