I don’t understand why liberals can’t understand that raising the minimum wage requires ALL employees get a similar increase. Can’t start a new employee at the same or more than you are currently paying someone who has worked for you for years. So everyone gets more pay and they buy a new car, house, desiger shoes, etc, thus creating a higher demand for these products. Problem is the workers for the makers of those things also had to be paid more to comply with the minimum wage increase, so the cost of those thing will increase as much or more than the increase in pay they got. So the unskilled and unexperienced first time employee finds that they may get the $15 an hour but that soon afterwards they find that the $7 they were getting bought them just as much or more.

I know freepers know this and I know that the liberal politicians behind the move to increase the minimum wage understand it. The problem is those evil politicians use it a a wedge issue to the votes of those unskilled and low educated citizens and they really could care less if they starved to death. They use the same tactic with health care and politicians, inluding some republicans, also could care less if the poor are able to get medical treatment byond the fact that if they die they lose their vote, well at least their legal vote.
