You left out the jobs exported to foreign countries, jobs which paid a living wage and led to the rise of the American Middle Class. For an American industry to give those jobs to foreign wage slaves is manifestly damaging to the United States and should be regarded as a form of treason.[...]
If you're making minimum wage that means two things a) you're an idiot or b) you cant hold a job.
I worked security in that area......You want to see how successful the concept of eternally increasing a wage is, and how it affects the economy...here ya go:
Detroit. Once arguably one of the most productive, vibrant cities in the US.

But you ignore this reason why millions of American workers have lost their jobs and their pensions and you seek to blame the workers, themselves.

FACT: Paying a living wage will create new business as new revenue promotes commerce. Also, some economists argue that higher pay results in increased productivity by making jobs more desirable to both get and to keep, thereby reducing recruitment, training and supervisory costs associated with high rates of turnover

I don't know what outsourcing has to do with any of this? but I'll play the game..
A) I love how progressives are totally pro illegal alien - they come here and take jobs but you don't bitch. You bitch about outsourcing but not the fact that illegals are stealing jobs here. So now tell me what the fuck the difference is if I hire a guy in China to make a product or if I hire an illegal alien to make a product for the same fucking price????? There are only 20 million illegals here - not to mention many are living off welfare and sending greenbacks back to Mexico (or wherever they're from).
B) Outsourcing creates cheaper products, which in turn creates a higher demand for those products which creates jobs - jobs such as more clerk jobs, transportation, manufacturing etc so in the end the money and jobs come right back to us when we outsource.
So would you rather pay $250.00 for your flat screen TV or $2,500? would you rather pay $50 bucks for your shoes or $150.00???
If union employees made all this shit it would be expensive and a lot of people would not buy these products - that would equal less jobs due to the lack of demand.
Yeah, you can afford $250.00 for a TV but $2,500???

Sheila is NOT a keynesian moron and she has been conducting a quite civil debate from her point of view.
The only quarrel any of us might have with her is that she is seeing the issue only from the perspective of the employee and not from the perspective of the employer and why he or she would hire somebody in the first place.

Fact: Paying a living wage encourages good people to work for you. And if their work produces profits for the person taking all the risks in the business, that is a strong incentive to pay that living wage. If paying a living wage erases whatever profits those employees are generating for the business, the jobs go away and sometimes the business also goes away. It is all interrelated.

A good employee is invaluable....
Good employees get paid good money because the owners know and respect how valuable they are to the business...
Especially with small businesses...
Obviously lazy people who are unreliable wont get paid as much.
I used to work at a shoe store when I was 17 and after 6 months I went from 5.75 to 8.00, and this was back in 1997.
I suppose my point is that if you work hard and are a good employee and are reliable you will get ahead.

Thanks Foxy. I really wish more people on this board could actually debate without resorting to insults and name calling.

I saw Seattle calendars side by side, one made in Hong Kong, one made in the USA. Guess what? The Hong Kong calendar cost more.
Everyone would rather pay less for their things but I'd rather do without than support shipping jobs overseas or companies that underpay their employees. I still can't believe Michael Jorden got paid more for doing ONE commercial for Niki than all their other employees were paid in a YEAR! I don't buy those shoes.
Heck, I would rather stand in line in the grocery store than go through the self check out, I believe in supporting jobs in the USA and all that costs me is time.
Oh, and I'm just as upset about the illegals and GUEST workers coming into this country to take our jobs and reduce our wages as I am with the companies going overseas to find cheaper workers or to get out of paying taxes.

You want to see how successful the concept of eternally increasing a wage is, and how it affects the economy...here ya go:
Detroit. Once arguably one of the most productive, vibrant cities in the US.
That has more to do with "free trade" than mw. In fact, I don't believe a single worker at the autoplants was making mw when they closed, where they?

There are a few videos across YouTube that show detroit...it looks like a war zone.
