Minimum wage is already “livable”

drugs

They usually deal those for freebies.

 

[Lisa558]

Yeah, like food and shelter.

Nope. Like expensive smart phones, lottery tickets, alcohol, and cigarettes.

 

[Moonglow]

Then you made poor choices. The people I know who were born with nothing worked themselves up to the upper-middle class.

The upper middle class is way over rated I know I grew up in it.

 

[Moonglow]

Nope. Like expensive smart phones, lottery tickets, alcohol, and cigarettes.

I never knew that it was allocated via proxies of mandates.

it is labor that creates wealth

How are businesses doing now that low skilled workers are telling them to shove their low wages ?

ROFL! So engineers don't create wealth? Steve Jobs didn't create wealth.

The problem with commies is that all their premises are obviously bogus.

That's the dumbest point of all. You can't define "liveable," and the minimum wage was never intended to be "liveable," whatever the fuck that means.

Could you live off $10 per week? No you could not. There doesn’t have to be some scientific definition of liveable. You do get that right? There’s nothing wrong coming up with a number that will ease poverty. The min wage is low therefore it must be raised. This logic is simple.

Could you live off $10 per week? No you could not.

Yes, I could live on $10/wk, but that isn't the question.

There doesn’t have to be some scientific definition of liveable. You do get that right?

Yes there does, douchebag. When they set a speed limit, do you imagine they don't need a specific definition of MPH?

I won't ask if you get it.

You just admitted that your inventing the meaning of "livable wage."

What you posted isn't "logic." It's pure idiocy.

[rightwinger]

Your response tells me that I am correct, and that you can’t argue the point. So you revert to the liberal way to answer: make some sarcastic remark.

You can’t make a point without blaming….

COMMIES!

COMMIES!

That's what you are, isn't it?

 

[bripat9643]

Nope. Like expensive smart phones, lottery tickets, alcohol, and cigarettes.

Especially alcohol. A lot of so-called "homeless" get SS checks from the government, and the first thing they do with it is go out and buy alcohol.

Not you couldn’t. You’re a liar. I mean maybe if you lived with your parents, sure.

The speed limit is not some scientific determination lol. Hell most laws don’t have that either. You have to start somewhere. You have to make some kind of determination on what is appropriate. You don’t act like some defeatist pussy and not try simply because there is not some scientific solution.

Economists are the ones who can make a determination of what is appropriate. Hell, that’s as close as you can get to some scientific solution.

We already have poverty guidelines. Unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed could be a form of minimum wage for economic metrics purposes under our form of Capitalism. Capitalists (employers) would have better metrics.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You people come up with dumbest arguments lol.

And you run away without answering.

Who told you that the lowest wage was supposed to be "livable"?

 

[norwegen]

All these minimum-wage earners dying in the streets.

Oh, the horror!

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Nope. Like expensive smart phones, lottery tickets, alcohol, and cigarettes.

And Nikes!!

Who told you we couldn’t make it livable?

 

[bripat9643]

Who told you we couldn’t make it livable?

Common sense. Laws seldom solve the problems they are claimed to solve.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Who told you we couldn’t make it livable?

What's a "liveable" wage in each state?
How do you know?

Billy already admitted that the term "living wage" is scientifically meaningless.
