We'll see. But even if so, i wouldn't be celebrating more Americans out of work. You greedy white Republicans dudes already think you're paying too much taxes. More Americans out of work, means more folks relying on Government assistance to survive. Y'all are gonna pay much more in the end. I'd rather see Americans working and being productive Citizens. We all benefit from that.
So what do you suppose eliminates jobs? That's right, employees demanding too much money to do monkey jobs.
Where are our jobs lost? Unions demanding too much money.
Where are our jobs lost? Automation stemming from employees demanding too much money.
Where are our jobs lost? Government assuming business is an endless source of money.
That's where all our jobs went, and you think the solution is to make it more costly for companies to do business in this country?
Paying our fellow Americans a liveable wage is the right thing to do. It's right for various reasons. We all benefit from a well-compensated prosperous work force. If a McDonalds Worker makes $15 an hr, good on em. I know that fellow American is being productive and contributing to Society. And a well-paid prosperous worker, makes for a better worker as well. Again, we all benefit in the end.
BUT , at $15 an hour you probably create a situation where inflation wipes out any gains the raise would have brought anyway. There is a balancing point.
Pay em well, you get better workers. I mean, how often do fat Americans bitch & moan about bad service in stores and restaurants? They're fat, spoiled and feel entitled. You don't wanna pay a fellow American a decent wage, you get a miserable incompetent worker. You do get what you pay for. I'm fine with a McDonalds and Walmart Worker making a decent wage. I know we'll all benefit in the end.

Yes by force of government. The People have the constitutional right to put demands on companies doing business in the US.

That's exactly what the unions and Democrats told us about organized labor. Where are those jobs today?
The domino effect has a huge impact on society. You can't just raise one set of wages for one group of people.
If you work somewhere for $15.50 an hour doing something that takes a bit of talent or training like operate a tow motor, and some government comes along and increases the minimum wage from $7.90 to $15.00 per hour, how are you as an experienced tow motor operator going to feel?
His job requires a lot of experience. His job has some danger involved. His job requires more responsibility because he has to handle expensive goods and not have any accidents.
Think he will be satisfied making only 50 cents an hour more than the french fry maker?
So now you are the owner of Paul's widget factory, and you are looking for a new place to manufacture your widgets. You read what's going on in this $15.00 per hour minimum wage city. Do you think you would even consider moving your company there?
Well, if $.75 per hour was good enough for me in 1959, it should be good enough for today's kids!!!!!

Agreed because we shouldn't have a minimum wage in the first place. 75 cents an hour wouldn't attract the most desperate person. Hell, we have tons of jobs today for minimum wage that employers can't find employees for.
The privilege of doing business in America should be accompanied by the obligation to pay decent wages.
An honest day's worker no matter how menial deserves respect and the minimum wage is just one way society can voice its respect for such a worker.
It's sad how conservatives not only demean poor people who don't work,
they find a way to demean poor people who do.
Who is demeaning them?
It's not societies obligation to respect a worker, it's the employer that does that, just like it's the employer that pays such workers.
When are you on the left going to show the same respect for the person(s) who worked to create capital to open the business, to respect him or her for the sacrifices they make for their business, to respect them for the jobs they provide regardless how much they are able to pay?
Respect goes both ways. Most small businesses fail in this country, yet never hear any outcry from the left for those people.

More pay doesn't equal more sales. It means less sales. All these hos out here think they're special just because they got a phat azz. They be trippin and telling these dudes they gotta pay $60 for a bj. And they goin home every night broke and not even able to buy enough dope to keep them from gettin sick. I keep my prices low and I get lots of money whenever I work. Everyone comes back to me. I just wish I didn't have to pay these dudes to keep these bitches from stabbin me.

Isn't that cute? A new poster from the ghetto, speaking for rappers on the board.....
Maybe they are not paying enough.......?

It's shocking that someone thinks it's a privilege for people to engage in trade.
And which particular people, NYcarbineer, have the right to grant or deny this "privilege", and how to they acquire this right?
Yes by force of government. The People have the constitutional right to put demands on companies doing business in the US.
Can you please cite the language in the constitution that gives congress the power to enact such legislation?
The Commerce clause, and 220 years of history.
The Commerce clause, and 220 years of history.
So what specifically in the commerce clause states that the public should be able to dictate what a private enterprise pays their employees?
