Hell if giving a dollar raise to three percent of the work force causes companies to raise their prices, what happens when the company gives out million in bonus money to executives? Talk about price increases to pay for raises and bonuses.
Any of you right wingers know?
His problem like too many these days is they want everything NOW. Work? What's that? They've been told in Gubmint schools that mommy and daddy gubmint will take care of them and if they want anything, they have to yell, scream real loud! Mommy and daddy gubmint will kiss it and make it all better.You can't bitch and whine about keeping the minimum wage as it is and expect people not to be on food stamps.
The minimum wage isn't even $10 an hour. Tell me, repubs, could you live on that wage? The average fast food worker is 29 despite the fact that those companies are making record profits.
You all seem to believe in this fallacy that ANYONE could get a well paying job if they tried their darndest. That's moronic. There will always be poor working people as long as there are low wage jobs. Many single parents can't raise their kids on $10 an hour despite having a full time job. Should their kids be punished because their parents can't bring home a decent pay check?
Hey guess what raising the minimum wage would do?
1) less people would be on food stamps
2) the economy would improve because there would be a stimulation of economic demand. Capitalism 101.
Raising the minimum wage to 10.10 an hour would kill about 500,000 jobs according to the CBO. HOWEVER IT WOULD IMPROVE THE WAGES OF 24 MILLION PEOPLE who really do need the extra income. 900,000 people would be lifted out of poverty. The good far outweighs the bad. Again, less reliance on food stamps.

You're forgetting than when wages go up so does the price of goods and services, and the ones that feel it the worst are the elderly and the poor who are on fixed incomes. I would suggest that you come up with a way to lift yourself out of a minimum wage job, just like millions upon millions of other Americans have done since the onset of this country. IOW you're never going to reach the American dream, by flipping hamburgers. It's hard work, dedication, education and sometimes risk that achieves success.
higher costs of labor means LESS JOBS. less jobs means less consumer spending overall.
You assume the raise in cost would be too high. It wouldn't be.
Noooooooooo.. a 30% increase in cost in the lowest wages (then affecting other wages of people above them) means NOTHING
Idiot

That's only for 3% of workers you idiot. Overall the price increase would be slight.

Minimum wage isn't meant to support a family. It is ENTRY LEVEL...what about this do you keep missing?You cons have no leg to stand on. Raising minimum wage would lift 900,000 people out of poverty and 20+ million people will have better wages. The price increase would be slight. Only 3% of workers make the current minimum wage. Only those employers would need to drastically raise prices if applicable.

Billy wants it both ways: it would tremendously benefit huge numbers of people while simultaneously not causing any problems for anyone else. It's like money just grows on trees.

No, you are. You cannot benefit thousands of people without creating hardship for thousands of others. That's just how redistribution works.
Where do you think the money to pay workers will come from? The tooth fairy?
