So business owners are either going to stop hiring or start hiring illegal workers, because they don't want to pay Americans over $7.25 an hour? We should all look up to these patriotic "job creators".
How has our nation thrived and dominated the world economy.....with a min wage that has consistently raised over the last few decades????
I thought "trickle down economics" would work? All this is...is to require the rich to engage in trickle down economics.
More money in rich people's pockets = good/ More money in poor people's pockets = bad
^^Is that about right?
nope. Not at all.
Artificially increasing the cost of labor costs jobs. It doesn't benefit the people it claims to benefit.
Do you lefties really believe that forcing employers who already arent hiring to pay more for labor is going to result in more jobs?
Well, that would be a little more the poor would have to spend to help stimulate the economy. Sounds good...
Bucs is right about one thing. I will be okay. But unskilled people wont be.
He's just too fucking stupid to get it. I give up.
As I said, min wage has gone up for decades, and the US got rich. You, like biz owners of the past, will be fine.
And, like past decades, unskilled people will not be ok. Thats why we had crime in the 80's, and 90's, and 00's.
And, back in the 80's and 90's, there were idiots bitching about how raising the minimum wage to $4.25 would bring economic ruin to America.
Just like you are today.

The US hasnt had a stagnant economy with little growth and no hiring all that time ya fool. This is a recipe for economic disaster at this point in time. We're one quarter away from going right back to where we were in 2008 and this is the solution the left comes up with?
What planet do you live on where you believe this to be a good idea?
Beyond that when I take on commercial work I often have to hire temporary help. Help that picks up debris or does simple meanial tasks. Definitely not worthy of the 20+ dollar an hour cost it would end up being going though a temp agency. I simply wouldnt hire while others would resort to illegal under the table practices.

If there is one argument against the GOP that resonates across demographics it's this one.
They're against abortion, right? So they are against the funding of contraception. The result of which will lead to more pregnancies and, of course, more abortion.
They're against making Wal Mart pay a living wage to their employees. But they are also against robust (or any in most cases) social safety nets for those who are the working poor--the same safety nets that subsidize Wal*Mart's low wages; and those of Target, Ross, Lowes, etc...
They're against any mention of sane limitations on the purchase of guns. One of the arguments that gets repeated over and over are that the guns are necessary to prevent the government from enslaving it's people. Yet many (if not most) are against any cuts in the military spending--the same military they live in constant fear of.
See, this is macro ecconomics, not just your little business- The workers will get, say, 20% more, prices will go up 4%, and DEMAND will go up 10%.
