Nothing generates unemployment like liberal policy

[Skylar]

Everywhere liberals get these insane minimum wages shoved through, we see insane unemployment. Businesses move or shut down. Nothing but poverty is left in the wake of liberal policy. What a damn shame...

Minimum wage hikes put pressure on businesses to 're-engineer labor force,' a restaurateur says - LA Times
Some restaurants face pressure to trim menus and staffs under California's wage hike

California, with one of the highest minimum wages has a 6.3% unemployment rate. About .3% lower than Louisiana...with one of the lowest minimum wages in the nation. Both are about point below the national average. Massechusetts with one of the highest minimum wages has 4.3% unemployment. About a point below the national average. Vermont is also one of the highest with its minimum wage....and its unemployment is 3.6%. Almost two points below.

Perhaps 'everywhere' doesn't mean what you think it means.

Walmart is a RW front. A disgrace.

over 40 million on foodstamps for a record period of time and 93 million not working...heck of a job Brownie

Why are 47 million Americans on food stamps? It’s the recession — mostly.

But thanks for total obstruction of all the usual remedies- infrastructure/jobs bill, training for 3 million tech jobs going begging etc...

How many conservative states have lowered their minimum wage in the last 8 years?

Zero? Is that the answer so far?

Why is that?

How many liberal states have experienced massive unemployment after huge minimum wage hikes?

100%? Is that the answer so far? Why is that?

Cite something other than propaganda.

I'm citing facts. You are attempting to counter with uninformed opinion formed through blind ideology. It's typical of your side of the aisle (unfortunately).

You're citing facts? You claimed 92 million people fell out of the labor force since Obama's been president. There were 81 million people not in the labor force when he became president. So let's see your "facts" showing there are 173 million people who are not in the labor force......

You ignored this last time I posted it....

The minimum wage hasn't even gone up yet and they've already closed their doors.

Sadly....liberals always blame the wealthy and high income among us for their problems. Greed and Envy - that's what being a liberal is all about.

Most of our economic problems are caused by the wealthy

They control the money and have the power and influence

What a load of garbage. Yeah sure, the wealth is the problem (as you don't have it), not the 50 % tax rates.

You should freaking bow to the wealthy, they overwhelmingly pay for your welfare benefits. Your gratitude? You blame them for your economic voes. Classic liberal regressive. No shame... no shame... Perhaps the problem is that you spent your life at public school and have no productive skills. Just a thought...

If you want to blame the wealthy, you better show in detail HOW exactly they are preventing you from gaining a job.

rightwinger is not on welfare. Stop projecting.

The wealthy decide where the jobs go and the jobs are going overseas.

Quit lying, the consumers decide that.

Apple builds I-phones in China. Are you a consumer? Did Apple ask you where you wanted I-phones built?

We have had this topic a thousand times since I have been here, to say it is only the owners and share holders is bullshit and you know it.

President Obamas liberal policies have generated ten million jobs

Really? Name one... just one.

 

[Conservative65]

President Obamas liberal policies have generated ten million jobs

And record numbers on food stamps.

To go with record population numbers

Percent on food stamps has dropped over the last three years

The population hasn't increased in numbers since Obama took office as the number of food stamps has increased.

It's not my fault you won't admit it.

The only one making shit sandwiches is your boy. You sure eat plenty of them.

Naw, Cleetus, I refuse to eat them, unlike you Conservatives, who just let the rich and the religions fuck you and say, "Thank you, Sir, may I have another."

You've eaten one since January, 2009.

It may hurt the pocket book of several billionaires and multi-millionaires, why you can't have that...

Deflection... Higher labor costs mean higher prices for the people least likely yo be able to absorb the increases.
Geniuses,,,,all of you

 

[thereisnospoon]

"Some restaurants." In 5 years, it'll stabilize. We bitch now though..

Sure. It will take that long for the marketplace to absorb the absurdly high wages

You can thank corporate America for a job well done...and the trickle theory some idiot named Reagan put the nation on...

Newsflash.. This nation's economy has ALWAYS been trickle down. Reagan was just the first to make it a campaign platform.That is the way it works.

You deranged NaziCons would rather taxpayers continue to subsidize Walmart employees than see them paid a living wage.

Not only that, but the fewer Walmarts exist, the more opportunity for legitimate businesses to take their place.

Which they won't be able to do with a minimum wage of $15. Because, to cover such an asinine liberal overhead- they would need to charge $12 for a pack of gum and $60 for a pair of socks. And when someone can go onto the Internet and purchase those products for 1/10th of those prices, there will be no "legitimate businesses" taking Walmart's place and thus there will still be no jobs. Which, is how liberal policy always ends.

Cut CEO pay to raise the minimum wage...

Speaking of liberals and failure and idiocy how are all those green energy companies doing that they gave millions of American taxpayer dollars to?
