time to factor in all other subsidies that “minimum wage earners” (if there even are any) get.

Some 30 states and the District of Columbia have enacted higher wage floors, and many cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, have adopted higher base pay than their states.

So what's the problem? The minimum wage might be $7.25 in Mississippi but $15.00 in California due to the cost of living. Let the states sort that out.

A Federal Minimum Wage is Unconstitutional.

The minimum wage has never fulfilled its promise, which was to help young, inexperienced, often minority workers, get a job with an income. It was designed for the young worker to gain experience in the labor force. It was never intended to be a wage that would allow a person to buy a home, especially in CA.

Every time the minimum wage is increased, employers are forced to fire some workers, and those are usually the young, inexperienced, often minority workers. Unemployment for those workers increases...every time! If you want to make a decent wage, invest in yourself. Take some training courses, learn new skills. The most underutilized institution for getting new skills is in the military.

The most young, inexperienced, often minority, workers can say after a minimum wage hike is: "I'd be making more per hour...if I could just find a job."

Just the opposite, it’s time to pay federal workers $7.25 an hour. And no benefits for the first five years.

A total of 144000 people across the country are paid the Federal minimum wage.

1.4% of the workforce is paid at, or below that rate. These people are mostly waitstaff and tipped workers who make more than minimum wage.

There are other exceptions to the rule, but in the grand scheme they represent a minimal impact on the economy.

It, if you raise the minimum wage it will cause a shift in all wages. If you think inflation was bad before…start messing with that stuff.

The true minimum wage will always be zero.

And of course the same people who want to raise the minimum wage also want to bring in unlimited illegals to work off the books.

It's the cargo cult theory of economic value.

$7.25 an hour is $290 a week for 40 hours.

It’s been well above that for some time...not in law but in economic reality - look at what places were hiring people for fast food and gas station jobs, complete with full 401k benefits and other benefits.

But, if it will make these people feel better on paper, raise the law to being a $9.00 minimum wage.

Buccees in Texas pays their workers upwards of $25 an hour. When you have a thriving business, by sharing the wealth and profits with your employees you create happier employees and increase productivity.

You walk into a Buccees, the bathrooms are spotless, the people serving product to people are friendly and there is enthusiasm to do better. No union, no equality, it’s opportunity based. Do good, earn more. Do bad, you are first coached, then replaced if you do not improve.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Raise the min wage, and then watch business owners adjust consumer pricing to reflect the raise in min wage, which forces more people to stay home because they can’t afford to buy anything, which then stagnates everything, and businesses close because they have no customers. Has any liberal or socialist/communist ever even thought about opening an economics textbook?
