Don't have a family if you can't afford one, duh!
No. They pay a wage that allows the worker to be only partially dependent on gov't It is nt the company's fault that the worker isnt worth more than min wage. Or that gov't thinks it's being generous by offering food stamps etc.By paying a wage that requires the taxpayer to support their workforce, they make profit at the taxpayers expenseWhat percent of workers make less than they can support a family on and require taxpayers to make up the difference?1% of working americans make minimum wage-------------this is much ado about nothing.

Who decides who qualifies for welfare and what they get? The companies? Obviously not, why is it their job to implement your social policy? It isn't...
Not my problem if my workers can't afford to live here....let the taxpayer make up the difference

I gues we dont have supermarkets and discount stores anymrore. WHo knew?They obviously create jobs that wouldnt exist. Only an idiot couldn't see that.If you're here I couldn't be the stupidest person on the board.
You might see Mom N Pop stores coming back. With limited selection and higher prices, which is why they went out of business in the first place.
Gee, business is sort of hard for you to figure out, isnt it?
That doesn't support your claim that Walmart creates jobs that wouldn't otherwise exist. In fact you've helped prove how wrong you were.
Oh, wait. Look who I'm talking to.
Then how is that we had supermarkets and discount department stores around here, employing thousands, before Walmart ever showed up?
Walmart doesn't create jobs in retail, all else being equal. It just moves them from other retailers.
When Walmart moved in across town from me, the big Kmart and the big P&C supermarket both closed.

The only purpose for the MW is to give Democrats something to beat over the head of Republicans, plain and simple.I doubt anyone that works for minimum wages would say that the minimum wage serves no purpose.
Anyone that makes more than minimum wage is in no position to suggest what purpose MW has on the worker that depends on minimum wage.

How Democrats Use the Minimum Wage Issue To Exploit The Poor
By Michael Bargo, Jr.
The Democrat Party of the U.S. has gained and kept political power by portraying themselves to the masses of people as the only political party that cares about the working middle class and the vulnerable poor. You need us, Democrats love to say at every election cycle, to help you achieve a better life. And as the November election nears, they are once again bringing up the minimum wage issue. Their position is that the Republicans are too insensitive to the needs of the poor to raise the minimum wage. Voters must elect Democrats in order to see a minimum pay raise.
But at some point American voters, particularly the working middle class and poor, may begin to wonder whether or not Democrats are incompetent or something else is at play. The plain truth is: we have a president who now boasts that he can do anything he wants by using his “pen and phone.” He does not need to pass laws through Congress. Indeed, he has been the least cooperative with the House of Representatives of any president in recent American history.
He has usurped Congressional powers granted to Congress by the Constitution. There are two things he could do with his powerful pen and phone about the minimum wage right now. First, he could issue one of his legendary Executive Orders and remove all Federal income taxes and payroll taxes, including Social Security and Medicare, from anyone earning less than fifteen dollars per hour. Secondly, he could raise the Federal minimum wage, at the stroke of his pen, to fifteen dollars an hour, the wage the SEIU have pursued.
Either one of these moves would instantly put more money into the pockets of those who earn just enough to keep themselves in poverty. But he chooses to not do so. In fact, in typical Democratic leadership style, he blames others.
As I have stated here before, he learned his leadership style from the mayors of Chicago, his political alma mater, and the tactics of the Democrat Party of Illinois. And the best way to see what he learned, and understand what Democrats do to exploit the poor with the minimum wage issue, is to see what’s going on in the state of Illinois right now.

You're habitually addicted to drugs and alcohol. That's the only thing I was able to manage out of all that jibberish.
OH! Well that's hysterical. I've managed to out your desire to deflect from the argument through baseless projections, as you've no means to engage the argument and hope to rally those who you feel already agree with you, toward some demonstration of popular 'consensus'.
Which, as lame as it is, is all ya could really hope for.
You have to have an actual argument. You provided unintelligible jibberish.[sic]
You take some guy who's 17yrs old. Maybe he's got a drug conviction as well. Maybe he can't read well. Maybe he can't add or subtract. Maybe he wont show up all the time. Or if he does he's not dressed appropriately or not sober.
Why should he be worth any more than 5/hr? If that. I might have a job that I'd rather pay someone 2/hr to do and if he does it, great. If not, no big deal.
Now. Take the same guy, train him so he can show up on time clean and sober, and maybe he's worth 7/hr. Give him some remedial tutoring in math and English and now maybe he's worh 8/hr. When he gets the memo that employers pay for performance and he busts his chops and you know he'll be there ready and able to do the job, OK now he's worth 10-15/hr.
ANOTHER Concession?Definitely hitting the bottle.

How positively sweet of ya!
Sound reasoning never requires validation, but it is always nice, when it comes along. Mighty white of ya!

Hiring him is your first mistake. Pretending that, considering your attitude, you're actually going to invest your time to develop him is your second mistake. Let's be honest, we both know you're not going to waste your time on him. And rightfully so, because trying to prove me wrong and investing that time would be your third mistake.
