Obama's Min. Wage = 27 million/17% of Americans Get A Raise...

...and-----and safety net programs save $7.6 billion

Now that voters have forced Republicans to govern, will Republicans surrender their values and submit to the will of 70% of Americans and raise the minimum wage to at least $10.10/hr?

Should minimum wage include paying your ObamaCare premiums?

Interesting headline to the article linked in the OP:

Raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $10.10 Would Save Safety Net Programs Billions and Help Ensure Businesses Are Doing Their Fair Share

"Ensure that business are doing their fair share".

Wow.

Add another one to the list. Sure is good they didn't build that. It wouldn't be worth the effort.

If someone is working for an employer at the maximum amount of hours the employer allows, doesn't that business owe it to the worker to pay them a wage they can live off of?

No, of course not. As everyone knows, the reason a business exists is to maximize shareholder value, not to put food on someone's table.

An employee is responsible for making sure their skills and effort make them worth more to their employer or another.

Yes, we have to raise MW's, since we have created an underclass via lowered standards and political correctness. But blaming this on an employer is absurd.

Let's not pretend that the Left is pro-employer. Business is nothing more than another cash register for the Left.

So workers are just at the mercy of their employers? They don't deserve a living wage despite being a key factor in a business's shareholder value?

Workers exist as a mass production mechanism for the business. The business would exist without them, by plugging in someone else.

They are paid whatever their fair market value is. That is the only obligation of the business.

No American worker is "at the mercy" of their employer. Find another job. Improve your skills and find a better job. Start your own business.

How lucky we are to live in a country that (currently) allows such freedom.

Employers are at the mercy of workers more than vice versa when it comes to anyone with skill and capabilities.

A person is owed no more than the hourly wage they agreed upon when accepting the job. Right???

Your post is a non sequitur.
Reread the OP, 27million/17% of Americans earn less than $10.10 - now do you understand or do I need to write even m-o-r-e--s-l-o-w-l-y?

Do you have proof that employers that have more work/more skilled work to do than they can do themselves will not hire people to do that work? Or-----or are you just expressing your feeeelings?
