Minimum wage be damned!

[Pete7469]

The way to stop stop companies from going overseas is very simple. Massive tariffs.

For instance, if an air conditioner company wants to relocate to Mexico, slap a large tariff on air conditioners from Mexico. They will change their mind about relocating if they can't sell their product in the USA.

Then people who once bought cheap shit at Wal-Mart won't be able to, because tariffs work both ways.

Trump is wrong.

\Define "living wage"? Living with parents? Living with wife and two children? Living with wife, four children, and one parent?

According to bed wetting libturds a "living wage" would afford a fry cook a 4000 sq ft house and a lincoln navigator. If the dumbass managed to reproduce in spite of Darwin's theory a Smart Car and 6 months of annual sick leave is required.

According to the shit eating conservatives, a dollar an hour will feed a family of four for ten years. If conservatives were not so busy inbreding like the cockroaches in their mobile home, they might come out and see there is a real world out here.

I never understood the minimum wage.

Don't we want people working? And if they are working, does anyone have a gun to their heads to force them to work? Are we a free people or are we not?

1. No one should assume that a person must survive alone while working below a minimum wage. Some may live at home with their parents, some may be retired, etc. devoid of a mortgage payment and maybe a car payment. In fact, some may pocket more money working below a minimum wage than those who make a minimum wage for those very reasons.

2. Having a minimum wage will restrict jobs and businesses. If the US does not want companies going over seas and taking their tax money with them in order to pursue cheap labor, then they need to abolish the minimum wage. The US has a massive national debt that needs to be paid. Those taxes need to stay in the US or you can eventually kiss goodbye the nanny state altogether at some point.

3. If working below the minimum wage is so terrible, then why not have government subsidize them for the income they need to reach minimum wage? Would it not be cheaper than paying their full salary via entitlements?

4. Working is good for the soul. Discipline, responsibility, and other such attributes are learned through working. Is society better with them not working and just collecting welfare?

Society will be better if they get paid a living wage. Then they won't need welfare.

\Define "living wage"? Living with parents? Living with wife and two children? Living with wife, four children, and one parent?

All of those are living wage defined.

Really? For which demographic? Flint, MI, or SanFran, CA, or Omiguk, AK?

All of them, right down to the city and town.

They will enjoy shopping for American made products again knowing it puts American workers back on the jobs and food on their tables.
