To those saying flipping burgers or dunking fries deserves 15.00 per hour...

Question for liberals. Obviously you're asking for higher wages for low-skilled labor because of the cost of goods, rent, etc.

When you invent stupid shit to throw money at (i.e., entitlements, entertaining various languages and gender types, open borders, etc. etc. etc.), how do you figure that impacts the cost of living? If your answer is up, then it's time to do a real gut check and ask if you're advocating for your downfall.

You are blaming the leftist. Then they should deserve the credits why the economy is booming, unemployment is so low stocks are up etc etc etc.
Fair enough?

 

[charwin95]

This thread proves once again the far left should never be in charge of anything.

They do not understand what it takes to run a business, much less the government.

Really? Just about every one of your kind blamed the left. Are you also blaming the left of the current economy success?

Even McDonald's acknowledges that their business was intended for children.
Holding businesses that are created with the employment of kids & college students responsible for the poor choices people make in life is wrong. If you're in your mid to late 20's or higher & working for minimum wage you have no one to blame but yourself. You're poor choices should not result in a 10.00 Big Mac or 4 dollar fry.

Cool message and all...but funny how they couldn't dare use a model with blonde hair and blue eyes in their ad campaign.
You wouldn't dare want to depict a true all American...NOPE, not in AMERICA.

How can you credit the left for that? They lost leadership of Congress over six years ago, they lost leadership of the Senate two years ago. They lost the White House nearly a year ago.

How so? In this bill, they are attempting to make things more equal. Lower income people will benefit and upper income people will get the shaft.

They want us to leave the stage as the highest corporate taxed country in the world. That could mean more jobs. More jobs means a higher demand for labor. A shortage of labor means companies will need to increase offers in pay and benefits to get workers.

A Tax Hike or Benefit for the 'Middle Class'? - FactCheck.org

All of the tax cut should go to the Non rich... The mega Rich are so bloated now it's ridiculous.... The more you see of this bill the worse it gets.

That would be great except most of the non-rich don't pay any income taxes. What you are suggesting is that we give tax money to those who don't pay taxes.

Wealth redistribution is not part of tax reform. Wealth redistribution is Socialism. If you believe in Socialism, then you better find another country to live in. We don't want it here.

It's not that hard... You cut payroll taxes or some other federal tax or give more to states so they can cut their taxes which have been going up for 35 years and kill the non-rich one of the most important or help with college costs or training cost- things that would help Non rich. For a God damn change. How about good infrastructure and jobs?

For your information, payroll taxes have nothing to do with income tax. The money you are deducted from your paycheck all comes back to you if you live the average lifespan in this country. Your SS comes back to you, your FICA comes back to you since it's just an acronym for SS, your Medicare comes back to you. The only thing you don't get back are local taxes.

So you can't cut anything from payroll taxes because those programs are already going broke.

Nobody is being exploited. It's not like government comes along and tells you what job you must work at. The choice is purely yours.

If you buy a used car for your son, and you paid 12K for it even though you think it's only worth 10, were you exploited? You decided to buy that car and decided to pay that price. You had many other options, but you chose that car.

I agree with you.

It is one thing to work those jobs when you are a kid or in your golden years for extra income but to rely on it as a job to raise a family, well that is stupid.

Of course progressives will disagree and believe flipping burgers should be paid as much as a doctor, but the realitu is burger flipping is a job during your school years like you are saying.

Most progressives never held a real job and believe flipping burgers is a real job but a monkey can do that job!

Nothing but propaganda from the right wing.

Inflation will be less than five percent, even the dollar menu won't double.

That's not the fault of the employer, that's the fault of Democrat politicians. Employers don't hand out welfare--government hands out welfare.

You and I pay low wage workers because employers won't

Rather see the employer pay reasonable wages than the taxpayer

Prices go up even when wages don't..Derp...

Which contradicts the fact that higher wages will make prices go up in what way?

If everybody made "good choices," like being born to wealthy parents, I still don't think we'd be able to all be rich, worthless drunken layabouts. Who would do the work to feed us?

Being born to wealthy parents? Really? You really think that's the way people get rich in this country? Or is that just the only way YOU would be able to do it?

 

[Cecilie1200]

If a person I see working greater than 30 hours a week, they are working for a living and not a high school kid. People working for a living deserve a living wage. Only in a society that does not value a work this could it be argued otherwise.

Sorry, but there's nothing about, "Whine, whine, I have to work full-time, so that means I deserve scads of money" that's making a valid argument here. Your job is not valued by how many hours you're willing to drag your lazy, sorry ass to work for, nor by how much money you feel you need. It is valued by how much money it makes for your employer, and how difficult it is to do (ie. how easily you could be replaced).

Which means we should have strict limits on social programs. They should only be given to those who have absolutely no way of supporting themselves. Currently, our government rewards people who don't try, so they stay on the programs as long as possible.

The reason people don't try to better themselves is because of these programs. The solution? Get rid of the programs and let people figure out how to make ends meet themselves.
