Puhleeeeeeeze!!
Any intelligent person can tell you that in order to run a business, you cannot spend your entire profit on wages. If you believe you can .. go for it.
The money that’s made each month has to pay wages, overhead, equipment, stocking the shelves, etc.
If you raise the wage too high .. you won’t have enough to fill the shelves .. and no stuff .. no sales .. no money to pay wages. GET IT ..??
well FRiend. i’m not arguing for the minimum wage. i think we agree that wage and/or price controls destroy the free market and end up harming the very people politicians pander to.
my point was political, not economic. my comment was directed to human nature, fear and greed, the twin GOPe corruptions. it was more a comment on the political motivations of republicans like corker. and those leftist republicans who normally vote with him but this time steered clear. it will be interesting to see if corker gets the support of the chamber of commerce when he next stands for election; admittedly, tennesseans have a long wait before he stands again.
