I don't understand why republicans reject both a minimum wage hike and welfare for the poor

[Andylusion]

How happy are they going to be when they're laid off?
Libs are bad at thought.

People get laid off all the time now. That's nothing new. Your 'Sky is Falling' scenario will not happen. It never does. The reality is, Businesses with bitch & moan about paying their Employees more for awhile, and then they'll shut up and deal with it. Life will go on. It always does.

Seriously? You complain about conservatives not giving a shit about workers and now your response is "so what if people get laid off"? Dude, you're a fucking mess and a waste of time.

Greedy people like you have been laying Americans off and Outsourcing their jobs for many years, So yes, i'm sure some greedy Republicans will continue doing that. But your 'Sky is Falling' fantasy isn't gonna happen. Life really will go on.

Was that supposed to be responsive to what I wrote? You dont give a shit about workers and you just proved it in your post. No amount of name calling and blind assertions will change that.
You are a big fail of a hypocrite.

Like i said, i'm sure greedy fat ass Republicans will continue laying Americans off and Outsourcing their jobs. I certainly understand that. But your apocalyptic 'Sky is Falling' scenario will not happen. Just like it didn't happen all the other times you guys said it would. Life will go on.

But it has happened, exactly as we predicted it would.

Did you know that in 2006, the average Walmart store had 336 employees per store. By 2010, that number had fallen to 281.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/04/b...s-to-keep-grocery-aisles-stocked.html?hp&_r=0

You keep saying people are not losing their jobs, and yet the facts are exactly what we on the right have claimed. 60 employees per walmart store have lost their jobs, and the only thing that changed between 2006 and 2010, was the minimum wage went up from $5.25 to $7.25. And ironically sales at walmart increased during the recession. But the Store still has to make a profit, on a 3% profit margin. The only way to do that with drastically higher wages, is to cut employees..... EXACTLY what they did.

 

[paulitician]

I'm gonna fight for those i think really need the help. Because the money's gonna get spent. That's for sure. You should just to accept that and get past it. So, struggling Workers getting their piece? Sure, why not?

I understand what you're saying and, while I might not agree, I could at least have sympathy for your view if minimum wage laws actually did help people. Many other welfare state policies do help people, even if they may be bad for society as a whole, and I can see standing up for those in the face of all the other state corruption going on. I also agree that there's nothing more repulsive than the judgmental view of many conservatives that poor people "deserve" whatever suffering they experience.

But minimum wage laws are pablum - phony crap to sucker the dummies. They don't help workers, they simply make low wage jobs illegal.

That's cool. You're entitled to your opinion. But someone currently making $7hr is gonna be very happy now making $9/$11hr. I assure you, they see it much differently than you do.

The person making $7 an hour will actually be sitting at home filing for unemployment, then welfare. The guy who took his job is the one who'll be happy

Sadly, he'll do better on Unemployment. That's how bad things have gotten in this country. Thanks to people like you. WTG, ya greedy pricks ya.

See, you drive up labor prices, resulting in layoffs, and then complain people do better on unemployment? Do you not see that it is you yourself, that has created this problem?

He'll be replaced with a Kiosk. How is that a solution?

Ha, you greedy old Republicans do crack me up. But let me tell ya, your robot takeover fantasy is a long long way off. I know you'd love to see it happen, but it won't be happening anytime soon. Too bad for you, you're gonna have to pay Americans a decent wage. Now quit ya bitchin, and deal with it.

I don't even know how you people can suggest such a thing. So in 'your world'™ supplying millions of Americans access to lower cost goods, and providing 2.2 Million people with jobs they otherwise would not have....... is "evil"?

Have you worked at tiny mom&pop shops? Mom and pop shops are the placed that you actually earn minimum wage and zero benefits. Mom&Pop shops don't have the capital funding to provide benefits. I worked at a Gas Station owned by the guy who literally built the building. I was paid $6/hr, and there was no paid vacation, no 401K, no stock purchase plan, no tuition reimbursement, no nothing. If you showed up, you got paid for what you worked, at $6/hr, and that was it.

Walmart pays more than minimum wage, and has all those benefits I just listed.

You idiots..... you don't know what working at a truly small business is like. Walmart is way better, and provides far more jobs. IT's just fact. I've actually worked those small business jobs, and it's not better. Not by a long shot.
