“Raise the Wage Act”, (H.R. 582) would have increased most USA’s wage-earning families’ incomes.

Why are more than one million workers earning below the minimum wage in our First World economy?

Because they earn tips, you stupid twat.

Passing on "minimum wage costs" to the consumer; why bother to complain about a strait forward higher minimum wage?

 

[Indeependent]

Is that why wages have not kept up with inflation?

As you know, since President Trump took office and repealed thousands of useless regulations, wages have been exceeding that of the inflation rate with the majority of increases going to low-income and minority workers. Why is that a bad thing?

As you know, DP is an idiot.

Suburban teens?

Teens who are trying to earn money to pay for college? Teens trying to save for that first car?

$7.25 will not cover without the teen and their parents assuming significant debt.

Minimum wage earned over the Summer used to cover a years tuition. Now, it does not come close

So...in your comedic mind, we should pay teens more so they can save for their first car.

Democrats always have such great "intentions" but they never think them through, or they do and don't care, just keep the folks dependent on the great Plantation Owner known as the GOVERNMENT.

I do not remember if student loans were even available when I went to college. The easy availability of MONEY is a major cause of the explosion in the cost of college. Institutions saw more money available, higher than realistic demand, and prices kept rising. The higher the tuition costs went, the easier Washington made loans available.

" In a nutshell, what’s happening is that the expansion of federal student loans and aid is causing schools to drive up what they charge in tuition. Why? Because they can, basically. It’s as simple as seeing more money available, and taking the necessary measures to secure it. In all, for every dollar awarded in grants and federally-backed loans, tuition goes up 55 to 65 cents."

You can't deny it, college costs are completely out of control. But now we know what to blame.

Just because they are teens doesn’t make their financial needs irrelevant, doesn’t justify exploiting their labor

Teens are starting out in life, saving for college

Those minimum wage jobs used to pay for college......now all they can look forward to is massive debt

You should pay more because the taxpayer must support your workers with subsidies for food, housing and medical care

Persons earning a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage pay approximately five times more in federal income tax than at the current minimum wage.

It sounds like you have a problem with taxation funding the social safety net.

It sounds like right wingers have a problem with reducing the cost of a social safety net for their own bottom line.

Perhaps the problem is the cost of college.
Most college "professors" are socialist with a tendency towards histrionics.

Wages have been stagnant

Only for unmotivated losers.

Only "hate on the Poor" right wingers use that propaganda and rhetoric.

From 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation grew by 1,007.5% (940.3% under the options-realized measure), far outstripping S&P stock market growth (706.7%) and the wage growth of very high earners (339.2%). In contrast, wages for the typical worker grew by just 11.9%.--https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-compensation-2018/

 

[danielpalos]

Says the guys with only fallacy instead of any valid arguments. How less ethical of you all.

Your babble is inane.
Honestly, at what grade did you drop out of public school?

Fallacy is all you know. Even promiscuous women are less full of fallacy than you.

Do trespassers lower wages for blue collar workers?

 

[danielpalos]

Not in all situations or we would have no poverty and no homeless problem.

Your answer did not address any of my questions.
Here they are again:
Why do you think that two free adults can't decide for themselves what they are willing to trade labor for compensation?
Do you think potential workers are too stupid or worthless to determine their own worth in the job market?
Whose fault is that?

Not in all situations or we would have no poverty and no homeless problem. According to your line of reasoning we should have no corporate welfare because they can afford entire departments to help out with rational choice theory under Capitalism.

 

[danielpalos]

They move on and someone else comes in to be exploited.

They gains skills and experience, move on to better jobs and then new unskilled, inexperienced workers move into their first job? Sounds horrible!!! Gotta saw off the lower rungs of that ladder of success, eh comrade?

Black codes are one right wing example of why your logic and reasoning are unsound.

democrats gave birth to the black codes sorry if that chaps your ass..... no I'm not.

lol. Right wingers were democrats until the civil rights acts, then they are went Republican.

no shit for brains right-wing is not democrats it's never been democrat

lol. Yes, they were. You simply appeal to Ignorance like usual for the Right Wing.

Minimum wage is one of the dumbest cons liberals ever thought up. Fortunately for them, there are lots of dumb people in the world.

Why do you believe that?

Because it doesn't do what they say. It doesn't increase the wealth of low-wage workers. You can't just declare someone's job to be worth more money with legislation. You can artificially set a price, but then everything else will adjust around it and minimum wage workers will still be poor. It's just pablum for the dummies.

My comment earlier suggesting that we double the value of the dollar wasn't just sarcasm. That's how minimum wage works. It sets a minimum and everything scales around that. Sure, for a short time, some minimum wage employees will be better off (and some won't - some will lose their jobs during the transition). But after the market adjusts, the low wages workers will still be at the bottom rung, with the same buying power as before.

 

[danielpalos]

Why do you believe that?

Why do I believe that a company paying $1000 more for labor has $1000 less to spend
on anything else? It's this evil conservative invention called.......math.

Labor having one thousand more dollars to spend for products and services; a positive multiplier effect, what a capital concept.

It does seem to be working quite well in Nassau County since Trump cut corporate taxes.

lol. Maybe in right wing fantasy.

Two years ago, President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). At the time, the Trump administration claimed that its corporate tax cuts would increase the average household income in the United States by $4,000. But two years later, there is little indication that the tax cut is even beginning to trickle down in the ways its proponents claimed.--https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/news/2019/09/26/475083/trumps-corporate-tax-cut-not-trickling/

No, a lack of inflation meeting or beating minimum wages standards does that.

 

[Orangecat]

I have a problem with taxpayers supporting a millionaires employees so he can make more money.

So you do have a problem with tax dollars supporting the social safety net.

I have a problem in slashing business tax rates by 40% when we have to support your employees

So you like higher taxes but you have a problem with them being used on the social safety net. That's a pathetic position.
