it would cause instant world wide depression and bankrupt most companies. Run the numbers on Walmart and get back to us. NOW you see how Stalin starved 60 million with his caring interventionsSo, how can we be worse off, with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.
trickle up, means the poor do most of the spending.Nothing but fallacy from the fantastical right wing.
Can the right wing explain how we would be worse off with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation at fourteen dollars an hour simply for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States?
Simple trickle up poor, no middle class

Are you claiming our capitalists can Only make it on cheap labor? Henry Ford doubled autoworker wages not minimum wages, and produced a better product at lower cost, by realizing gains from efficiency.it would cause instant world wide depression and bankrupt most companies. Run the numbers on Walmart and get back to us. NOW you see how Stalin starved 60 million with his caring interventionsSo, how can we be worse off, with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.
A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage competes favorably with the cost of social services. Only the right, never gets it, while alleging to subscribe to Capitalism.trickle up, means the poor do most of the spending.Nothing but fallacy from the fantastical right wing.

Simple trickle up poor, no middle class
You still don't have a clue what wealth is do you?
Instead of people making $15 bucks an hour having 50% more wealth then MW now.... They would be lucky to get a $2 buck raise if MW was changed to $15 an hour..
So that equates to only around what 8%? Over MW...
Trickle up poor..
nobody takes the right wing seriously about economics.it would cause instant world wide depression and bankrupt most companies. Run the numbers on Walmart and get back to us. NOW you see how Stalin starved 60 million with his caring interventionsSo, how can we be worse off, with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.
He is to much into the propaganda to figure out the real world..

McDonald’s, the nation’s biggest restaurant chain, is, in fact, very profitable. Those $5.5 billion in profits last year came from revenues of $27.6 billion, giving the Golden Arches a profit margin of nearly 20%. The average profit margin of big companies in the S&P 500 index is only 8.7%, according to S&P Capital IQ. McDonald’s has been a perennial overperformer, which makes it an easy target for protesters seeking a bigger slice of the pie.
But keep this in mind: Pay at most restaurants is determined by the franchise owner and not the corporate parent, which often owns a very small percentage of the restaurants under their brand. McDonald's, for example, owns just 11% of their restaurants in the U.S., so it may make more sense for the protesters to be picketing local owners rather than focusing their venom on the corporate entity.
Either way, the restaurant industry overall is a low-margin business that doesn’t have much spare cash in the till. The average profit margin for the whole industry is just 2.4%, according to Capital IQ.

yes just like Walmart $15/hour would eat all their profits and thus bankrupt them and Walmart. This is how Stalin starved 60 million with libcommie intervention in the free market
Like I said; modern capitalists must not be social, Darwinian enough due to so much corporate welfare and too many Tax holidays, to make like Henry Ford and realize gains from efficiency instead of cheap labor.nobody takes the right wing seriously about economics.it would cause instant world wide depression and bankrupt most companies.

The public thinks the average company makes a 36% profit margin, which is about 5X too high
Carpe Diem
I find this totally fascinating, though not completely unexpected. When a random sample of American adults were asked the question “Just a rough guess, what percent profit on each dollar of sales do you think the average company makes after taxes?” for the Reason-Rupe pollin May 2013, the average response was 36%! That response was very close to historical results from the polling organization ORC’s polls for a slightly different, but related question: What percent profit on each dollar of sales do you think the average manufacturer makes after taxes? Responses to that question in 9 different polls between 1971 and 1987 ranged from 28% to 37% and averaged 31.6%.
How do the public’s estimates of corporate profit margins compare to reality? Not surprisingly they are off by a huge margin. According to this Yahoo!Finance database for 212 different industries, the average profit margin for the most recent quarter was 7.5% and the median profit margin was 6.5% (see chart above). Interestingly, there wasn’t a single industry out of 212 that had a profit margin as high as 36% in the most recent quarter.
