...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.
“... and when we give you $15 an hour, we’ll also give you $8 gasoline and $7 loaves of bread.”
You want to know the sad awful truth? If they get the House, they will keep their promise and do what they said. They will fight and claw and scrape their way to getting it done. If they have to spend political capital they will. If they have to piss a large group of people off they will.
Democrats keep their campaign promises.
Meanwhile, we still have Obamacare. We still have illegal amnesty. We still bring in rapefugees. We still fund Planned Parenthood. The budget continues to grow. We still have the same destructive tax code. etc....
I wish Ryan, McConnell, McCain and Gramnesty had as much integrity as Pelosi.
...And a future that looks just like Venezuela.
maybe Pelosi should add the California “p.s., if you’re Union, forget the $15, suckers” ?
ROBOTS will replace minimum wage workers, as shown in EU, when McDonalds said it would place hundreds with robots to flip burgers, etc.
So, it will be like the 72 virgins for suicide bombers, you may find 72 virgins in hell, however Jesus said there is no marriage/sex in heaven. Bible only allows sex in marriage, no marriage in hereafter, so they get something they cannot use! Like Obamacare!
Socialists are greedy/lazy, and do not think things thru. Yes, it would be nice for all to make that kind of money, but not cost efficient for company to make a profit.
Now, $15 hour will become something you might get, but will lose with robots. McDs said robots do not get sick, work same for overtime, all three shifts, and save company money!:)
Go for it, you blathering idiot!
Why stop halfway? Make it $50 an hour!
Your total ignorance of our historical capitalist system of economics is showing and your "constituency," such as it is knows even less.
For someone who has been in D.C. 30 years you are an embarrassment both to women with intellect and human beings generally. At least Sweinstein knows when she's being an *sshol*
Ummm... no, not us.
We KNOW what's at the bottom of THAT hole!
15 feet high will cause hardly a scratch.
"Why do you suppose that hamburgers which used to cost 25c now cost $8??
"Do you know what inflation means? How it is caused?
Do you really think that you will ever "catch up" if your work is worth less than $15? or $50?
"Are you aware that every unionized thug or bureaucrat's (but I repeat myself) union agreement and raises are based on the existing minimum wage?
"The system truly IS rigged against you.
"YOU LITERALLY CAN NEVER CATCH UP! EVEN THE MINDLESS MOBS WHO "SUPPORT" YOU KNOW THIS AND RELIES ON KNOWING THEY CAN NEVER "FALL BEHIND"
Even mental incompetents can grasp the concept if they hear it often enough.
