“Liberals have to learn the hard way.”

Wish that were true. Seems to me that no matter how many times a liberal idea or whatever fails to work, they immediately claim they’ve learned their lesson and promptly repeat the same thing in the same way which failed before.

Here’s a few day old report directly from the horse’s mouth (none of this makes sense):

“The $15 minimum wage is a good thing because too many people are trapped in minimum wage jobs for years and are desperate. Its only fair to help them get out of poverty.” (These poor people are evidently unable to find or qualify for some other higher paying job).

This, from a liberal female who has been unemployed for a year, lives in subsidized housing, collects L&I (or WorkComp), plans to “milk the system” and find grants to go back to school. (This will be at least the fourth or fifth attempt - all previous attempts failed for one excuse or another).

When it was pointed out that many low income inner city types don’t care about raising the minimum wage, as there are no jobs available, she responded with a sharp edge to her voice, “There are plenty of jobs.”

Now for all you FRers who would attempt to interject reason and common sense, realize that such an attempt would elicit a blistering personal attack. Seems to me that they do this because the whole of the liberal mind set is an emotional and personal. To question is to be attacked, so they respond in kind.

As someone here said, “It is impossible to reason with a committed liberal.” Unless of course, one likes screaming matches and needs to get a high on adrenaline ...

There will be fewer minimum wage jobs as business moves out or automates. For those minimum wage jobs left, there will be some middle class, employed, people who could use a little extra money but wouldn't work for $7.25/hr but might be willing to take a part time job at $15/hr. Businesses will hire these reliable, proven, motivated employees before they take a chance on a teenager, high school dropout or other person who can only qualify for a minimum wage job. End result: less jobs and greater competition. No jobs for the permanent minimum wage workers.
