Minimum wage is already “livable”

Is it logical to expect ignorant rich people to make economically intelligent decisions for themselves? How about the mentally ill? Shall we catapult some contraceptives at them?

Ignorant rich people aren't asking me to pay their bills.

You mean that "white supremacist?" LOL

Yup. The one the liberals on CNN disdainfully referred to as a “black mouth.” I just don’t get how arrogant people have to be to say completely racist remarks, and then call OTHER people racists.

Gee, I wonder why we're so close to the Czech Republic?

What are the units of happiness? How is it measured?

OP, there was a time in the US when a waitress could buy a house and send 1 or 2 kids to college on what she made.

If that's not possible today, then the wage isn't livable.

Your "aspiration" spiel is just that, nonsense.

This may be the stupidest thing you've ever said in a long and distinguished career of saying stupid things. It's not the employers job to oay his employees enough to live on? Are you serious?

I'm totally serious.

The man who set it all up.
FDR.

"
In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls;workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living

Really? When was that?

It isn't their job. What planet do you live on? Their job is for their business to succeed.

Crepitus was actually shocked by my response.

Who has suggested they should be able to live in a 2500 sq ft home, etc.? Oh.............hyperbole.

The suggestion was that the minimum wage was the generator for the middle class.

I was putting a picture to the suggestion.

And, that, BTW, is what the fast food geeks and others who "fight for 15" think that Big Labor will bring them.

You are ignorant to the facts. A waitress was always paid far less than other hourly employees. Waitresses who did well did so on tips and not wages. Trust me as a son of a waitress and now the Uncle of one.

And let's not forget Larry Elder who the protection racket referred to as the black face of white supremacy.

WTF does that have to do with Republicans condemning Black Women who keep their children?

When did Republicans ever do that?

 

[rightwinger]

When did Republicans ever do that?

Ronald Reagan coined the term Welfare Queen

For some reason, all the examples they used were of Black Women

Working people have a choice of getting sterilized

HITLER tells people to get sterilized or have their children starve

They can have all the kids they want and support them with their own money. But if they ask that taxpayers support them, there is nothing wrong with having mandates to do so. Speaking of which, the only Hitler type of actions taken recently is a President forcing people to take medication they don't want. If you want to discuss what is Hitleresque, that's it right there.

So your response to young mothers is…..
Get sterilized or let your children starve

You, my friend, are a Nazi

Dementia's action is that take the vaccine or let your children starve. But you're okay with that because he also denied them unemployment as well.

Cashiers are covered under minimum wage laws--waitresses were and are not. My mother was a waitress and could never buy a house or send us to college on what she made. Cashiers couldn't either.

In a sense it would be the government paying people to get sterilized.

Really? When was that?

It was when waitresses were paid $150,000, in the days of Twelth of Never.
