Trump on the Minimum Wage (vanity)

Posted on 07/26/2016 5:13:13 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Just watched Trump on O'Reilly and he expounded on the minimum wage.

Will someone in the know get to Trump and tell him to stifle his minimum wage talk.

This is a free market issue...not a state or federal issue.

Bro, you do have a sense of humor, right?

You dont have to be SERIOUS 100 percent of your life.

Tied to a big mac..get it. A joke.

Look the word up and relax :)

We have that. I'll give you a hint. Concentrate on the VALUE of labor and not the COST of labor. If the cost always exceeds the value, then there is no labor.

Please study up on politics. Take away the issue. It is a stupid issue to get hung up on. Make it $10.00/hr and peg it to inflation. Issue solved. There are WAY more important things to fight over.

Are you in favor of a ceiling on what one person should make per years?

The minimum wage should be $0.00. If sit on your ass all day, and produce no good or service of value to your fellow man, you earn the minimum wage. As soon as you start doing something of value to somebody else, your wage will rise above minimum to a degree commensurate to the value you produce for others.

Trump may not have a personal opinion regarding a minimum wage. His comments seem political.

The cost of labor should be a supply and demand issue. If you want higher wages, then you need more jobs so that employers compete for workers with higher wages or benefits.

Right now we have lots of workers and not enough jobs, so that has depressed wages.

The free market is scientific. It identifies the perfect wage.

Minimum wage is a STATE issue, if businesses want to do business in states with lower min. Wage they will decide where it is better for their business!!! ALL states should also be right to work states!!!! I was forced to join a union in CA. I don’t like it one DAMNED BIT!!!

No, just what you make.

Trump is working to get the Bernie supporters who've been screwed over by the DNC. I don't think he'll actually advocate for a higher minimum-wage if he wins the WH, though.

Does that mean you think he's lying to get votes?

I think the minimum wage should be increased.

I think the minimum wage should be abolished. Where does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to mandate a minimum wage?

These people at McDonald’s should be working there for a year. Build up on their education. Some of them don’t.

Bernie LIED about Trump when he said Trump said he wanted to LOWER the minimum wage.

Working at McDonalds for years is NOT a problem if you move up in the ranks, you have the opportunity to work hard and become the general manager!!!
