Questions for Kamara supporters

This is crazy. Raising the minimum wage means fewer jobs and/or higher prices. If you force higher wages then the employer has to find ways to make up the difference in higher labor costs. Generally that means higher prices that in some industries results in fewer jobs or less hours worked or lower benefits. And in some cases the employer goes out of business and none of that helps the economy.

There is a basic rule in business that money flows to where it makes the greatest return on investment. If the expected profit isn't enough to make the enterprise worthwhile, then you won't get new business startups or business expansions and that is definitely not good for economic growth. That's just the way it is.

Yep. That's the way it is. But nobody has to be working for low wages. So when nobody applies for those jobs it's a win all across the board.

You really think so? A kid just out of high school with no marketable skills should be making a living wage? And if they don't get a living wage job and are unemployed, you think that is a win? For who exactly? Certainly not for the kid.

Employers should struggle to find people to work for them.

There is nothing in the constitution about political parties.

There’s election laws

They already are, for many jobs that require certain skills. But not for unskilled labor, I see no logic there. If you pay $20/hr or whatever you chose as the minimum, do you not see how inflationary that is?

I'm curious, do you see a point where the minimum wage is too high? $20/hr? $50/hr? $100/hr? Do you see a tipping point anywhere? How high would you go? Do you think it should be the same everywhere? The same wage in Mississippi as in New York City? You do realize that prices would be commensurate with the rise in labor costs, right?

I don't think we need a minimum wage. Workers aren't goingbto show up for pittance wages so I'm fine with employers having to offer whatever it takes to find a worker. If nobody applies for a job vacancy that's a good thing as the job is undesirable so to get someone to do it should cost more. No set wage law is needed. The employers hand is forced. Capitalism at its best.

Our borders are not open. But millions of immigrants have been wonderful for this country.

The US under Biden/Harris has had the lowest inflation and quickest recovery of any nation in the world. And inflation was caused by the COVID pandemic, not Biden.

Socialism already works quite well in America

I think everyone inside the borders of the United States deserves the same rights and privileges as everyone else. So does the Constitution. With the single exception of the vote, none of our Constitutional civil rights are restricted to citizens.

There is no intelligence qualification to be president. Donald Trump, George W Bush and Ronald Reagan were all presidents and I'm quite certain the VP Harris is smarter than any of them.

Campaign strategy. Why does Donald Trump choose to be an ignorant, racist, bigotted, misogynistic 5th grader?

Who is Kamara?

Why do you want to call Trump name's like you are a 5th grader ? Hypocrite much ?

Yeah Trump fights back, and he has every right too, and in any demeaning way that he pleases, and especially so after what the leftist have done to him (including), trying to allegedly assassinate him.

Please stop embarrassing yourselves already..

You're gonna need to explain that one.

Easy, get your young and up and coming to enter the workforce instead of being stupid activist not truly knowing the cause they are lifting up, and how many are being killed by empowering causes that aren't compatible with the working class families in this nation... All I can say is Houston we have one hellacious scandal at play in this election, just like it was the last time we had such thing's going on after we began to give into the bull chit.
