House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage

[Rustic]

Yeah why not? 15 is that enough today, tomorrow or year from now?

Obviously inflation should always be a factor.

In fact if we had adjusted for inflation for minimum wage from 1968...ti would currently be $12.50. It is far below that.

Why not a raise 15$. every year or more?

All I know when it gets too $50 bucks an hour I will be working at McDonald's and fucking up everyone's order on purpose..

Lol
Yep, Socialists have no common sense

 

[Thinker101]

Some jobs are starter jobs/beginner jobs never meant to be careers dumbass

Is that right?

And who determines that?

And who determines that? Supply and demand determines that.

 

[Lesh]

The owner of the company/business... duh!
Are you fucking retarded? LOL

I see...

Unfortunately a lot of "owners of the company" think that ALL his workers deserve to be paid as little as possible so....

Yea...that's maybe not the best solution

Welcome to sweatshop world huh?

It depends on the job, some jobs are not worth any more than $7 an hour.
And some jobs are never... ever, ever, ever meant to be careers

 

[Thinker101]

Yeah, feeling a $15/hr. minimum wage would not have a negative impact is what's pretty fucking stupid.

$15 may be too much...in some parts of the country. $12 might be batter number and maybe it should be regionally adjusted...but clearly $7.25 is insanely low

Sure...and that would be fair?

And yet you expect adult human beings to do them

Oh...

Welcome to the world of the uneducated and unmotivated.

Lol
Tough shit, You work an low end job you get paid a low end wage...
I have nothing beyond a high school education, but I have been self-employed 25+ and out of debt for 20+ years... Me and my family will never have financial problems… It just takes a little bit of common sense... and it certainly does not take a village.

If you work full-time, you should be able to support your family. its called the American dream!

Fair is fair. If they want to fix wages, all congressional staffers should be paid $15 an hour. In for a penny, in for a pound....

No it's not ...$7.25 an hour in Alabama is like $25 bucks an hour in New York City.

No, I expect them to be starter/beginner jobs... not Happy with the wage you should move on to something else... don’t be a fucking deadbeat.

Where is that at?


Look at the job boards, company's in red states pay way over the states minimum wage, high minimum wage states company's pay around the states minimum wage.

Here, let's back up a couple of steps. Do you think there are any negative repercussions from minimum wage laws? Is that a dishonest question? Can you answer it?

There are positive and negatives about ANYTHING genius.

But the thing that matters is the net benefit.

And the net benefit of increases to minimum wage...in every case where it has been done (and there are many) has always been positive

Do you think it will always be positive? No matter how much you raise it? Why only $15/hr?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Minimum wage raised to $15 an hour, prices increase, $15 an hour now worth what the old minimum wage was worth.

only if you don't understand economics. higher paid labor pay more in taxes before they can create demand, in most cases.

God you people are dumb, right costs go up and there's no negative consequence Christ

And, the government receives more tax revenue without any other increase to taxes.

why whine about price inflation when you don't for fuel.

And, the government receives more tax revenue without any other increase to taxes.

The tiny amount of increased individual taxes is (more than) offset by the lower corporate taxes paid.

Moron.

No kidding, Democrats want to raise wages and create more jobs....what could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, your hours will get cut, but wait, they'll need more employees. Great plan dumbass, but think of all the free time you'll have to find a second job.

It's not like minimum wages haven't been increased in the past...and guess what...none of that happened

It was never increased enough to matter one way or another.

Listen, if you seriously don't believe there will be any negative repercussions from raising the minimum wage, why settle for something as low as $15/hr. I mean, that's better than ten, but it's still not much. Why not make everyone rich? Why not $200/hr? I'd seriously like to hear your answer. If I saw it the way you do, I sure as fuck wouldn't dick around with $15/hr.

That's a dishonest debate tactic and pretty fucking stupid.

Oxygen is necessary. An atmosphere consisting of 100% oxygen would kill you.

Be gone troll

Yeah, feeling a $15/hr. minimum wage would not have a negative impact is what's pretty fucking stupid.

it would be more positive than negative. only the right wing believes in "stagnant wages" for the bottom line.

C'mon, Lesh. There's nothing dishonest in what I'm asking. I'm trying to sort out whether you've actually put any thought into this, or whether it's just an article of faith. My experience with minimum wage advocates is that it's usually the latter. They kinda-sorta claim that minimum wage laws have a positive effect, yet back off from proposing any meaningful raises.

But minimum wage laws have traditionally been ridiculously low anyway. Because of that, any effects, positive or negative, have been negligible. So negligible that there's no solid evidence one way or another. So why not test your theory? If minimum wage has a net positive effect at $15/hr, do you think it would have a net positive effect at $25/hr? $50/hr? What's the story?

What a bunch of disingenuous bullshit.

You're trying to "appeal to reason" after and while making ridiculous unsupported claims and statements like "why not raise it to $200/hr?"

Get bent.

And then you admit that minimum wages have always been too low (and somehow that is a reason for NOT raising them)?????

Please go away
