It will result in more and more automation and less and less jobs.
Under the 10th ammendment, the corrupt and largely illegitimate Congress, and the brain dead occupant of the White House, CLEARLY do not have the Constitutional authority to set a national minimum wage.
How about a $4 hero pay for customers walking into the danger zone.
Last week, my bag boy wore a mask. Yep, he wore a black gator mask around his neck. He also wore his pants down under his butt cheeks. Thankfully, he had on underwear. Black underwear so color coordinated. To answer the question, they weren’t boxers.
But that is $74 they were not taxed upon. At that wage level that is about $5 in federal taxes, 2$ in state taxes and $5 in social security and Medicare taxes. So they actually reduced their taxes by about $12. Disgusting. Tax breaks just like the rich get. We should tax them on the amount they were not paid so that needy government programs do not get shorted by greedy workers looking to take advantage of tax breaks available for those that don't get paid as much.
I know an 18 YO guy - he’s been working at Wal Mart and just the talk of raising the minimum wage has them cutting his hours and therefore also depriving him of a quarterly bonus.
Instant conservative.
They should make $40.00 an hour if they really believed in it.
This claim always seemed odd to me. The store is not going to reduce the hours it is open. The same workload is present. How do hours get reduced? Will there be stuff the stores will not do that they otherwise would?
I would love to have some input on this one. Thanks.
