...and make everyone poorer in the process

Of all the Dems hare-brained schemes, the “fight for fifteen” has to be one of the most idiotic. It’s a plan that will decimate jobs for young people, force corporations to eviscerate their workforces in favor of robots, send manufacturing businesses overseas, devalue the wages people are already earning, drive up the price of virtually everything you buy at retail and, in the end, will succeed only in raising the poverty line to a new, higher, level.

It really is just monumentally stupid.

The problem is that anyone who comes out against a hike in the min. wage will instantly be labelled a racist capitalist pig who wants to see children starving in the streets.

What is needed is a coherent response to that assertion, one that will ring true with the same people that the Dem’s are trying to reach. Any suggestions?

Finish High school and we’ll find you a job. Work for 5 years and get some additional schooling and we’ll give you $15.00 an hour. But you’ll only get 29 hours of work each week...and no medical benefits.

Isn’t it against the law to exchange money for votes?

Especially if it’s other people’s money?

Sean_Anthony promises: Click my blog, and I’ll make money

[ml/nj]

And she means whether you have a job or not.

...$15 an hour and higher unemployment

[posterchild]

We’ll give you $15, but first you’ll have to get your entry level experience working as a volunteer.

Q for Pelosi: What good’s $15/hr if you’re jobless because no can afford to hire you?

[Mr. Douglas]

It is nothing more than a price inflation catalyst. The only ones it helps is those that get it at first. Prices will rise to match the new floor, as they always do. It is nothing more than buying votes and it is poison to our economy, in the long run.

Why not $100 an hour. In the answer to that question is the answer to why it is not a good idea.

Pelosi is a fan the the good old USSR saying, “We pretend to work and the Government pretends to pay us”

Pelosi promises: Give us back the house, and we’ll give you $15 an hour. Shock face is trying to bribe us with our own money.

Nancy, you had the Presidency, the House, and filibuster proof majority in the Senate, for 2 years....you bailed out your campaign contributors(crooks)on Wall St., created the fuster-cluck called Obama-care, yet another program that steals from the working-class to bolster the dependency class(AKA, dem voters), and let's not forget shovel-ready jobs, a less secure world, and Obama hitting that Hillary-style re-set button on racial relations at home and Russian/other relations abroad...a re-set back to the hatreds of the 60's that is.

You lost your gavel because you and your evil party unraveled.

Bottom line...get help, because what's left of your brain has fallen and it can't get up.

[Gahanna Bob]

Sounds like vote buying. Is that legal? I forgot this is a Democrat scheme so it is legal for them.

How is a Federal minimum wage even constitutional in the first place. Is it a tax?

[rovenstinez]

I think she might add to her list, the country of Venezuela, might help them to have everyone pay $15. USD an hour. If it works HERE...it should work there as well...and CUBA.

[Safetgiver]

Finish High school and we’ll find you a job......Like throw your ass in the military and make you grow up.

[Vendome]

Neither one of those two things are happening in the next four, maybe 8 years.

All this pep talk is to fill the coffers so they can go to war well financed, at some distant place way, way, way in the future...

“Give us back the house and we’ll give you other peoples money”

Incompetent. Incoherent. Incontinent.
