House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage

[Conservative65]

Look what happened in Seattle a few years ago. Demands for an increased minimum wage increase were met then employees began requesting less hours because social welfare benefits were being reduced.

Capitalism has a natural rate of inefficiency that way.

Seattle's economy is driven by a mix of older industrial companies, and "new economy" Internet and technology companies, service, design, and clean technology companies. The city's gross metropolitan product (GMP) was $231 billion in 2010, making it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the United States.--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Economy

It's not capitalism that is the problem. It's the lazy POS that want the same end result without having to work for it. Seems it was a lie that people wanted a higher wage in order to support themselves. What they wanted was less hours worked and more freebies.

You simply don't understand the concept. Capital must circulate under capitalism to provide that capital efficiency to our First World economy.

Why be envious of the Poor who may choose to not work, if You don't Have to be Poor if you are willing to work?

The poor who refuse to work should starve before those that are honorable and work are forced to support them.

maybe, under Truer forms of Capitalism and a less developed economy.

In ANY situation where they refuse to do for themselves.

Yes, and if you choose to not work, you deal with the consequences. Don't expect others to support you if you're not willing to do it yourself....dumbass.

Those that choose not to work should not benefit from those that do. I have no problem with someone unwilling to do for themselves going without.

by beling illegal about it?

Nothing illegal about allowing those that refuse to help themselves going without until it hurts.

nobody takes the right wing seriously about their understanding of the law, Constitutional or otherwise.

Employment is at will. We have a federal doctrine and State laws that say so.

Where do you come up with your right wing propaganda and rhetoric in our First World political-economy.

House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage

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

If the Dems push such a bill, they know it will never make it past the Republican Senate.

Unlike the GOP 60+ fake repeals of Obamacare all those years, though, the Dems are NOT pretending. If they ever get full power, they will actually carry through on their promise.

Yeah just like universal health care when they had both houses and the presidency, right?

instant inflation

And increased automation and unemployment.

Not to mention price increases because no business is just going to eat that loss

Fine, as long as there is no more WELFARE given out. If people now have a livable wage, they dont need fucking welfare...

The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America's 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

You do not understand basic econ. Not surprising. Most commies don't.

To understand economcs you must strip everything down to caveman basics.

You do nothig but make invalid assumptions.

Seattle’s Minimum Wage Increase Causing Small Businesses To Close

What they never stopped to consider is that those additional funds have to come from somewhere and small independently owned businesses wouldn’t be able to afford to pay its employees. Shock of all shocks: with the huge increase about to take hold, small businesses are closing their doors in record numbers in the Emerald City.

Yeah it has, the city had economists at the university of Washington do a study and what they discovered was exactly that

Trickle down economics is from you liberals who have no clue about how economies run. My black friend has a A/C shop, he provides goods and services to his customer and a rate that both agree on. He makes profit, and then in comes the government to take 35 percent of what he earns, but could of given it to his assistants, but instead that money the government stole, ends up in the hands of people who dont do shit, except bitch and moan, like you who didnt get a tax break...By the way, my friend did give a raise to his employees, when President Trump gave my friend a tax break. You need to lay off that liberal kool aid , son, you are being retarded for drinking it.

Over 60 million more people in the US ...and it sure wasn't born citizens..



You do the fucking math.

because of the Recession.

Minimum wage had nothing to do with it


And I burned you.

You "burned me" by making yourself look like a fool and a liar?

Newsflash...unemployment wney to 9.7% in 2009 because of the Great Recession...unemployment had nothing to do with it
