They can't hire someone if the government doesn't let them in here.And if they can’t find employees for that price they offer more.
Or they will hire foreigners who are willing to work for nothing and live in a two bedroom house with seven other people.
It does? Then start your own company and pay people by how much you think an hour of their life is worth, and see how long you stay in business.
It's amazing how many people working the drive through don't think the guy running the company knows what he's doing.Fifteen bucks for an hour of a persons life seems reasonable.

We have 3.7 percent unemployment
And $15/hour is not the standard minimum wage...dumbass.
Ya think?
Minimum wage workers are about 3 percent of the workforce. Cutting minimum wage workers will have minimal effect
If you own a business and want to sweep your own floors and clean your own toilets....you can
Sigh...logic and common sense certainly in not in your wheelhouse. About 42% of workers in the US make $15/hour or less.
After paying for shelter, food, clothing, transportation, insurance (health care in particular), taxes and fees, $15 dollars and hour is slavery***.
The future is bleak, for when a charismatic leader organizes the vast majority of the 42%, a General Strike is in our future. The systemic problem is a product of greed coupled with a callous disregard for those who struggle to make ends meet.
Socialism did not create the chaos in Venezuela, corruption by the power elite's and political leader's fiscally irresponsible behavior and personal greed have done so.
***SAYIT's comment in the post above is an example of callous conservatism, total disregard for the problems of the working poor, and blaming them as if they are all lazy and irresponsible.
Socialism has NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE.
$15 an hour is a lot of money for entry level jobs. Minimum wage is not supposed to be for adults raising a family. It's for people entering the workforce at entry level. People are supposed to work their way into better paying jobs.
With two parent families and each of them earning $12-16 an hour that equates to $24-32 an hour. That's decent money and enough to raise a family on. A minimum wage of 15 just lowers wages for everyone. Fewer jobs and less earnings.
Listen I don’t care who youre going to vote for, it’s none of my businessLiberals don’t read studies. They go on feelings.It isn't just small businesses and it has nothing to do with the Minimum Wage.
Uh, if you read the article, you'll find out that new minimum wage does have something to do with it. Have you read any of the zillion studies that document the harmful effects of an excessive minimum wage?
Apparently you must be Elizabeth Warren then.
And, of course, liberals never bother to ask, "What if a given job is *not* worth $15 per hour?" Hey? What if the job is so basic and easy that it's not worth paying someone $15 per hour to do? Do liberals just think that all businesses have money trees?
Do you think the CEO of Boeing was worth what he got?
If he wasn't, he wouldn't have received that pay.

$24 an hour is $860 per week. Off the top of which you have to deduct 15% withholding, transportation and child care - the cost of going to work. $129 withholding, $200 per child. $30 per week per worker minimum, so that’s $471 per week left with one child. How much is rent?
These people can’t afford more than $500 per month. And that only leaves them about $350 per week for food, clothing, medical, dental, and savings. This also assumes they don’t own a car because they can’t really afford one.

I got a better idea. How about you go fuck yourself instead.
You labor hating piece of shit.
Typical BS pulled directly from your always ignorant ass. Many worked overtime or 2 jobs and most Americans lived far simpler lives.Sounds about right. Workers in the 1950s earned $30-$40 a week. They supported families on that wage with one salary. $1.25 bought you a lotThat is $65/wk which conflicts BIGLY with your previous post claiming $30 - $40/wk.Average family income in 1950 was $3,300 a year
Income of Families and Persons in the United States: 1950
The prob with mindless leftards like you is that you can never understand how 2+2=4.
What he says is true. Even in L.A. County, California you could make it on a buck, a buck and a quarter an hour and have an apartment and own a car in the early '60's. Guys living with their parents after turning 19 or 20 were ridiculed unless they were going to college. It's the inequality of wealth index we have now, and it's getting worse as far as I can see.
Wealth inequity has nothing to do with it. If we took every single dollar from every rich person in this country, it won't benefit you one bit. It will just make government richer.
If the wealthy paid living wages to their workers, government income supports wouldn’t be necessary. The working poor wouldn’t get all of the free stuff you hate so much.
You sit in your little shack up in Canada thinking you have all the solutions. I work in industry every day. Many of our customers use temporary employment services. Most of the workers are on welfare. They don't want a full time job because more income would eliminate them from the qualifications to get on social programs. With temp services, you can work as much or as little as desired, so you can continue getting your freebies.
What social programs do is discourage people from getting ahead in life, seeking and finding opportunities, and benefiting their family and society (taxpayers) in general. When these companies I speak of get busy, they ask their temp employees if they can work more hours? Most of them refuse because more income just gets deducted from their government stipend. For them, it's like working for free.
Outside of mental or physical disabilities, there is no reason anybody (especially younger people) to not be working or working less than 40 hours a week. Every industrial area I drive to are littered with HELP WANTED signs, and have been for the last several years, even when Ears was President.
we already have metrics from the restaurant sector. you are just making up drama.Who cares if business fails simply Because the can only make a profit on Cheap Labor.
So would you frequent an establishment that charge 20%-25% more and doesn’t have discounts and sales because they pay their employees over $18 an hour?
They can't hire someone if the government doesn't let them in here.And if they can’t find employees for that price they offer more.
Or they will hire foreigners who are willing to work for nothing and live in a two bedroom house with seven other people.
It's almost as if we're burrowing our way to the larger problem. How many of those foreign laborers do we allow to come here legally? Because the obvious answer for illegally should be zero right?
Nobody hates labor you indoctrinated fucking turd. Labor builds companies, at a reasonable wage for the job. That doesn't mean you deserve 15 an hour just to show the hell up. Some jobs pay more, Why? because they require something above and beyond entry level retard to perform.It does? Then start your own company and pay people by how much you think an hour of their life is worth, and see how long you stay in business.

The problem isn’t that the wage supports discourage people from working, it’s that the wages paid for the work are too low to make it worthwhile to take the job. The jobs simply don't pay enough for these people to give up their income supports.
When my husband’s trade went south after NAFTA, and all the remaining jobs paid minimum wage, there was no point in him working at all. By the time we paid a baby sitter and subway fares, we’d be losing money at $7 an hour. So he stayed home and I went back to work on Bay Street, which paid enough for all of us to live on.
This is the simpleton bullshit you get out of Democrats. It’s a simple cost adjustment, at your expense. Takes nothing further into consideration to arrive at this stupid ass conclusion but you did throw in how much welfare costs which nobody but the government is responsible for that ridiculous cost.it is a simple cost of living adjustment. besides, social services cost the equivalent to fourteen dollars an hour.Lets raise the minimum wage to $1,500 an hour maybe that will work.
Why do you waste your time posting such a stupid comment? Are you that desperate for attention?
To mock your side, I thought that was obvious. Mission accomplished!
Mocking requires thought, you don't qualify.
Give us a real number will you? Exactly how much exactly should people minimumly earn? Is $15 an hour the line? Would you be satisfied with that and no more?
Ever noticed the self checkouts everywhere and the lack of cashiers?Jesus dude...your own article refutes your bullshit.'Small Businesses Struggle With $15 Minimum Wage Hike in NY: 'They're Shutting Down'
EXCERPT: According to a report published Monday by the Wall Street Journal, many business leaders and owners in the Big Apple have said that they are having to cut hours, raise prices, and reduce staff in their businesses due to the rising labor costs that they say come from the recent city law bumping up the minimum wage. . . .
The president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, Thomas Grech, told the Wall Street Journal that he has seen an increased number of small businesses closing in the last six to nine months. He believes the rising closures are due to the minimum wage legislation.
“They’re cutting their staff. They’re cutting their hours. They’re shutting down,” Grech said. “It’s not just the rent.”
The only two businesses cited admit they have not even had to cut anyone and that all their employees are doing 40 hour weeks
Jesus what a lame thread
I wonder what caused that?

Of course there are. Hell I installed a thousand of them. Why? Because a company can’t keep paying people ten bucks an hour plus obiecare costs and taxes to have people swipe shit across a scanner. But the brilliant dems want to raise that cost to 15 an hour. And of course then sit there with a stupefied confused look on their face as the swipe their own purchases through a robot.Ever noticed the self checkouts everywhere and the lack of cashiers?Jesus dude...your own article refutes your bullshit.'Small Businesses Struggle With $15 Minimum Wage Hike in NY: 'They're Shutting Down'

Yes, in Arizona there are a ton of self-checkouts.
