I expect the IRS, NSA, and SEC to be on this minimum wage denier.

Appropriate, it IS a taking and/or a tax.....

Jack up the costs enough and companies like Macy’s will just decide they don’t need employees on the sales floor. No Costco employees stand next to the clothes and they manage to sell them just find.

One benefit if they manage to push through the immigration bill is all those illegals working under the table will expect minimum wage. That should drastically cut the demand for their services.

Then they can go on unemployment and welfare.

It doesn’t mean their sales are going to get better

Of course it does! Those people making minimum wage aren't going to spend their extra bucks on booze, weed, crack, and cigarettes, they're going to Macy's! At least that's what Obama tells us.

Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren believes that raising the minimum wage would result in fewer jobs for Americans...last fall two-thirds of the saps -er, residents - in NJ voted to raise the minimum wage in the state - yesterday the new unemployment figures were released - they're actually up a bit in NJ to 7.2 percent, half a percentage point above the national average - maybe Mr. Lundgren has a good point.....

Eff Macy's after putting "Kinky Boots" in the Thanksgiving day parade.

In a TV report on the issue of raising NJ’s state minimum wage, a college educated reporter repeated a Democrat talking point that raising the minimum wage would “contribute x% to the state’s economy” due to the extra pay minimum wage workers were going to get - as there was some magic pot of gold the “extra” pay was going to come from, ignoring that every dime of that extra pay will come out of others incomes across the spectrum of the economy, raise prices at the retail level in many cases and many of those cases will be where those earning “minimum wage” spend a good amount of their income. There is zero net contribution to any GDP due to raising any minimum wage.

What does he know about it?! He’s never been a government bureaucrat.
