At your age, lady, perhaps you should have learned a skill.
Leaches should starve
Higher salary put them into a higher tax bracket and cut off their bennies!!!!
What is that supposed to mean?
The inmates (Liberals) are revolting
Somebody should plant the seed that $20 isn’t enough.
Chicago should raise its minimum wage requirement to $30 per hour!
Come on, Rahm! Do it!
enough today is never enough tomorrow for these POSes...
I don’t understand - if they are too stupid to understand how wages relate to value added and to price inflation, then why are they only asking for $15/hr? Why not ask for $100/hr - then everyone would be making $200,000/year without overtime!
Stupid and unambitious - no wonder minimum wage is so important to them!
It isn’t about survival at all. It’s about driving business out of business, and or depending upon the type of business out of the country. It’s about preventing entrepreneurs from starting up business, from starting up manufacturing in this country. It’s about the Socialist-Democrats, Cloward Piven strategy to sink the United States of America under the waves. They intend to kill this country by every means available to them. They have been working on this a long, long, long time.
Raise the minimum wage so high, and instill so many regulations nobody can afford to produce anything. That and all the other crap they are pulling is by design to change our great country from USA to RIP.
It should be $113.98 per hour.
That will solve this awful crisis.
Right. It is $13 too much.
At your age, lady, perhaps you should have learned a skill.
So you raise minimum wage 100% and Social Security 2%. Seems like there’s likely going to be a problem brewing.
$8.25 is better than $0 which is what many of Bracey's constituents will earn when this goes through.
The minimum wage is never enough! If it was, it would still be at 25 cents an hour as in 1938.
“I can’t survive on $8.25,” Bracey said.
No you are kidding... Of course not you idiot. It is a beginning wage, a part time wage, a starter wage for people with no education or work experience. You want to make more get more education, learn a trade, develop a skill.
When I came back to America getting out of the Air Force as a certified Law Enforcement Specialist I was able to get a job at a County Prison for $2.65 an hour. I worked 60 hour a week for over a year to make it. Proved myself and moved up in the ranks and made higher wages. That lead to a better job and even higher wages. Sorta how life works.......
Why not $50 or $75 or $100 per hour? Why not a $100,000 a year guaranteed salary? Well, Why not? Not enough, eh?
