With just 3 Republican votes the House passes $15 an hour minimum wage bill.

Can't wait to see how much a Big Mac cost when you have to pay the worker at the drive up window $15.00 dollars an hour.

You shouldnt be eating that crap you and donnie.

If people didn’t then there would be no fast food places and those workers would not even have job much less needing to get paid 15 dollars an hour for doing it. FYI I don’t eat Big Macs.

Nothing wrong with occasional fast food. People need to stop acting like elitist jerks.
We eat at different places every day depending on where our job takes us in the city.

Nothing wrong with voicing an opinion about something in a public forum.

In Twitter too

Huge sigh. . . . Would it do any good to point out that even liberal billionaire Warren Buffet has acknowledged that raising the minimum wage to $15 will cause a loss of jobs and will actually hurt many of the people it is supposed to help?

Why Warren Buffett thinks a $15 minimum wage will 'reduce employment in a major way, crushing many workers'

/—-/ Libtards only listen to Buffett when he says he doesn’t pay enough taxes.

Yeah, they're thinking that they will get some of that money when he starts voluntarily paying more. Like a bunch of sharks circling the boat waiting for the water to be chummed with it. How this idiot Buffet got as rich as he did just boggles the mind really.

After minimum wage has been frozen for a decade and they propose a bill that will raise the wage to $15 SIX YEARS FROM NOW

Republicans can still not support it

Not the point really.... We as a government shouldn't be involved in independent companies business when it comes to their entrance pay for training. They are smart enough to know what it takes to start out their employee's with, and to move them on from there after a 6 months to a year training period. The only thing the government should do is insulate itself from companies attempting to get we (the government), to subsidize it's employee's pay by way of government benefits paid for by the taxpayers without our knowledge of such bullcrap that was taking place, and still might be. This should end illegals working for these companies, and it should end companies trying to use government to increase their bottom lines by way of subsidizing cheap labor for them.

Talk about a marriage made in heaven for these two (the government and independent companies in cohoots with each other), while the taxpayers got royally screwed.

Yes we should and have been doing so for 80 years

80 years of idiocy now.... Go figure.

[Wyatt earp]

Face it

Republicans want minimum wage workers to work for $7.25 in perpetuity

If you proposed a bill to lock minimum wage at $7.25 Republicans would vote for it

Face it

Democrats are sick of jobs going to Red States and want equal opportunity
poor and misery for votes.

I think the $15 they passed in the House is a negotiation point... it could end up at $10 or $12.

McConnell seems unwilling to even discuss minimum wage. His base opposes it. He has always been about what you can’t do, not what you can do

The House version calls for a $15 wage in 2025. Six years from now

Oh, I don't know. I think most of them get that it will fuck things up. They just don't care. It will establish government, in the minds of voters, as our "provider" (ie master), which is their primary goal.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I don't think most Democrats (in Congress) would vote for this if there were a chance of it actually becoming law. As it is, knowing that it won't pass the Senate and Trump wouldn't sign it if it did, they are free make a symbolic statement. It fires up the dummies and gets them angry at the mean old Republicans for blocking it.

Who this hurts, are those that were hired at $7.25 10 years ago, and busted their butts to get one promotion after another, more responsibility for the company and now earn $18 an hour.... and now would see the company hiring people with absolutely no experience at $15, and they get no increase that is comparable for the workload and responsibility they are carrying.... and no, the companies do not raise their wages with the minimum wage hike, in any kind of comparable way.

It would be better, if the congress and even better, the State legislators, simply raised minimum wage, a little bit, every year instead of this....
