Hiking the Minimum Wage Doesn’t Help the Poor

[Clementine]

This busts some myths that liberals are putting forth. I think government just wants to be able to take more from people in taxes. This would help them more than poor people. Only a small percent of workers make minimum wage and most start making more if they stay with the job. It's called entry level pay and it's geared mainly for inexperienced young people entering the job market for the first time. Libs try to claim that most poor people are trying to raise families on minimum wage, which is incorrect. Even if the main breadwinner for the family was making minimum, they'd qualify for food stamps and other assistance, which would make up the difference.

This is about the politicians digging deeper into peoples' pockets, even the poor. Remember, even the poorest workers also got a tax increase because they are taking more for social security.

Contrary to the myths, minimum wage workers are not primary bread winners in American households and more than half are young people just entering the workforce.
Hiking the minimum wage makes these inexperienced workers more expensive and contributes to their unemployment.

[The Rabbi]

Democrats hate poor people who want to be independent of gov't handouts. So they make it increasingly difficult to get off the dole. They really hate black teenagers, which is why their unemployment rate is about 20%.

 

[Clementine]

The more they "help", the worse things get. They must want things to be the way they are or they wouldn't create policies to keep things from getting better.

There are countless people whom are working for minimum wage that aren't just high school kids with there first jobs, there are countless people from all ages working these.

Raising the minimum wage would greatly help out the nation as it would get countless people off of welfare, as well as a strong incentive to do so.

The Dems want people to be paid more and you conclude that higher pay is how the Dems keep people poor and on welfare.

You do know how fuking stupid that makes you sound. Right?

Of course it doesn't. obama is simply using that carrot to continue to lead his sheep around by the nose. It won't happen, obama knows it won't happen, it would hurt the economy and he wouldn't be able to blame that on the GOP.

Let's see how this works.

Force business owners to implement Obamacare.Result.

They cut the work force so they don't have to comply.

Next,raise minimum wage...Result.

Cut a worker or two to be able to cover the expense.

Result.

More workers on the unemployment line collecting benefits.
Which Nancy Pelosi thinks is better for the economy anyway.

Knew a manager that said if someone was working a minimum wage job, after the age of 30 (as a "career"), they probably weren't worth that much....

You do know how fuking stupid that makes you sound. Right?

the problem is, are they getting paid more? The cost of everything will increase, so their net increase will be zero.

The fact that people like you fail to understand is that minimum wage is NOT supposed to be a living wage. You want a living wage, you have to work your way up to it. Thats why jobs that pay minimum are usually taken by teens and college students. If you have been on minimum wage for 5 years or more, the problem isn't minimum wage. Its you.

"Comprehension" is a good thing. They were saying if your wages increase, so do your TAXES (along with rent, groceries, energy cause everyone else has to raise their rates to pay for those 'minimum wage jobs'). The politicians get a BIGGER percentage of your pay. The costs of everything goes up. The wages of those that have finally been promoted/earned experience/college wages stay the same (the same as a PAY CUT).

Here is one for you: if the gov't is telling us illegal aliens are necessary to fill those low paying jobs, why does the "gov't" keep making those same low paying jobs more expensive to put a "legal" citizen into them?

Now why in the world do you think I would have to raise the rent on my tenants if they worked for minimum wage and got a raise.

Matter of fact, no one would HAVE to raise their prices.

You do understand that a companies product and profit is not based on the least amount of pay a worker recieves. And most companies employ very few minimum wage workers except for fast food. And I don't eat fast food, so let em raise their prices. They will bring them back down when their items don't sell.

What ever the hourly number you have to pay someone to keep them from qualifying for food stamps and other forms of government assistance, that is what the minimum wage should be. No one working 40 hours a week should be able to qualify for food stamps.

Why should people like me have my tax dollars subsidize a worker so that the company they work for can pay them low wages?

And if a company wants to raise prices because they pay workers more. Let them. I thought you all liked the "free market". Really what you all want is "free labor".

And finally, if any of you who don't want to increase the minimum wage, currently work for minimum wage and still don't want it to increase, I would think you truly crazy.

For the rest of you, what difference does it make to you. You either don't work or don't work for minimum wage.

 

[ClosedCaption]

So the plan is that if someone cannot survive on minimum wage they can qualify for food stamps. That's great until you start bit hong about people on food stamps. Bbut we all know that keeping wages low is more important to you than increased numbers on food stamps.

All theories aside. Look at the last time the minimum wage was going to destroy jobs. Remember that? Remember the time before that jobs disappeared? No? Oh but you promise with a cherry on top it'll happen this time, right? Ok, you've won theory beats reality *hard sarcasm*

Let's keep everyone poor so they can be subsidized with tax dollars. Priorities! Be sure the companies pay as little as possible because that helps everyone in the long run!

This is standard practice for rethugs. Bitch about the people that qualify for food stamps, then bitch because the government would like to see them be paid more so they wouldn't be on food stamps. And maybe even make enough money to help themselves to a better life.

I mean, rethugs have to be total assholes to want corporations to rely on the Federal Government to make sure their lowest paid employees can eat. Isn't that corporate socialism?

And the rethugs are all for it. Help the corporations, don't help the people.
