When you aren’t busy chasing Trader Joe’s out of the neighborhood because they’re “too white”.

That TJ’s would have done irreparable damage to the community- fer instance, it would have made it obvious that jobs DO exist for those seeking them, and right on their doorstep... uh oh

Aren’t these people paying attention to Obama’s trained economists? They assure us that massive increases in the cost of labor will have no effect on employment.

If they truly want to help, they should repeal the minimum wage laws.

Raising the minimum wage just might have unforeseen consequences. Right now it is the bottom rung of the employment ladder where almost anyone can get hired and have a chance to learn the basics of coming to work, reacting to the public or the demands of the job and pleasing the boss.

As the wage being paid raises, so does the bar of competence and even the first rung of employment may become more competitive which in turn could leave a growing percentage unemployable as people who have learned some workplace skills and mannerisms start showing up to apply.

Reminds me of the young guy who left a message on my answer machine last night about my alma mater’s annual fund drive - no doubt, most likely a student at the same college. He spoke in “mumble-speak” with no clear pronunciation/enunciation, no cordial, pleasant expression at all. I wonder how in the world people expect to get a $10+ an hour job when they cannot even speak properly, coherently, intelligently.

This is their intention: expand the class of unhappy people by keeping them poor. Then claim that they have to take more money from people who are earning more.

Complete misery and control is what they want.

If there has to be a minimum wage, why not make an exemption for teenagers or students so they can do something productive and make a few bucks.
