No they don't, moron. Businesses are not charities. They don't exist to server your purposes. They exist to serve the purposes of their owners. That's how things are in a free country, anyway.Why do crappy businessmen need to have such cheap labor? If they don't want to pay for labor then they need to build housing and provide food and clothing for their laborers instead of using govt. welfare programs to augment their crappy pay.
You are incredibly naive and ignorant.Absolutely untrue. I'm certainly not rich, I'm part of the vanishing middle class. Raising the minimum wage will not change my situation at all.
The lowest paid person I employ makes over $20.00 per hour.I love the faith you commies have in the market's ability to tolerate whatever you morons subject it to. What if it was your business that failed?
I am.Are you against welfare programs?
You don't employ anyone.The lowest paid person I employ makes over $20.00 per hour.
WE already have such laws. Their useless because Dims won't enforce them.Change the laws to let legal people work and make it harder for illegals.
Years ago, a student came to me for advice when she was applying for a job. She was applying for a minimum wage burger-flipper job like most high school students worked. The manager of the franchise called her and rescinded the job offer, because according to her SS number, she already worked for them. Now, how does a high school, with no money, fight identity theft by illegals?
The government does no such thing. Welfare is not a business subsidy, moron.Says the dude who is fine with the government subsidizing ceilings on wages but hates floors on wages.
Employer with min wage jobs have problems filling them because few workers don't have better options for their skills. And before the covid shutdown we had unemplyoment under 4% in most places. I suppose there's still a hypothetical argument as to whether a min wage harms employment, but practically speaking it is irrelevant. More affluent areas were already raising min wages. That might affect prices, but I didn't appreciate having to pay for unemployed energy workers to live in WV back in the 80s when there were plenty of jobs in Wyo and later ND .. and I took one of those jobs. So long as jobs are plentiful, there's no issue. And simply put, we don't have enough low skilled workers right now. Maybe that's why the gop wants to end Roe (-:We're just gonna hafta agree to disagree here. I think you're wrong.
We have a better understanding of economics now and this is what we are supposed to be doing with our form of federal Government:So we should trust the left wingers who are paying people so much they can just quit their jobs, cause businesses to close, and simultaneously drive up inflation with all the free money?
1938.
So bad in fact that most of the people on government assistance actually do have jobs. It's time the employers took on the burden of feeding their employees instead of the taxpayers. Mandate a living wage now.
I've read a lot of stories were people went up to some homeless guy with a sign saying "will work for food" and tried to give them a bag of McDonalds, and they just sneered at it. What really they wanted was money for drugs and alcohol.
You sure?Minimum wage in 1938 was $0.25.
That's not $24 when adjusted for inflation. Not even close.
Why do crappy businessmen need to have such cheap labor? If they don't want to pay for labor then they need to build housing and provide food and clothing for their laborers instead of using govt. welfare programs to augment their crappy pay.
You sure?
25 cents bought a lot back then
If you need to pay people $7.25 to stay in business, you don’t belong in businessI think you underestimate how close a lot of small businesses cut their profits. A lot of jobs and opportunity would be lost with a $20 an hour minimum wage.
What if they can't pay 15 or 20? Should those people go out of business too? Would the loss of that business really be good for our economy?If you need to pay people $7.25 to stay in business, you don’t belong in business
The problem today is that the opportunity to rise up the ladder are much less than they were a generation agoA minimum wage definitely won't destroy our economy. I'm just arguing that the situation is better for poor people looking to develop their skills when they have more opportunities to work wherever they want for whoever they want and for however much money they want.
