Correct. ‘they don’t want you to.’
$15 minimum wage is a way to consolidate power. It is actually quite clever really. Instead of going in and just taking the farm and moving people into the city, raising the minimum wage this high accomplishes the same end goal, just a little more softly.
Those not ‘smart enough’ to be able to hold jobs at the higher wage, will likely find themselves outsourced to work on the Gates farmland or they will be using the immigrants on the farms to do jobs Americans refuse to do.
No more retarded than asking for a $2K “stimulus check,” in other words very retarded.
America Leadership becoming Indian...Pakastani...Chinese....and a host of others running our country in the interest of their home countries and change our culture norms to theirs....it is never ending.
They’re appointing people of other cultures to take the lead so when it all crashes they’ll blame them.
Criminal democrats. Remember, though, the real enemy are democrat voters.
And that’s how you lose small businesses. I’d love to know who that clown’s donors are.
Their culture background sees everything through the lens of the haves and the have nots. And that the US is a rich nation that can afford whatever politicians think they should.
I hate our country being led by people with different culture back grounds/leanings. They sign up for every organization and committee that will 'rip off' our governments revenue for their home country and favor their personal activist agendas.

Cheapskate! $55 sounds good to me. Heck, make it $60. Whoever can’t or won’t pay that measly amount should close their doors.
Fast food hamburgers will cost $200 if the min wage goes up. Just ask any Freeper.
It is more complicated than that. If min wage did go up it would take a lot of workers off of public assistence.

I was replying to the poster that said the minimum-wage should be eliminated.
Without a huge new government bureaucracy and programs and the 80 million unemployed since the covid-lockdowns, wages will bottom out.
There is no shortage of workers. Highly skilled career workers with full benefits were forced to take minimum wage non-benefits starter jobs to survive due to the extremely broken unemployment systems in most states
You think with such huge number of desperate workers, wages will go anywhere but down with the elimination of the minimum wage.
Those former career workers with college degrees and decades of experience are already forcing unskilled workers without college diplomas out of the jobs market.
That is fukked up.
Small business types have ignored the deleterious effects globalism had on workers for thirty year. Not their problem. While the Republican Party sold out the US work force to globalist free trade interests our small business owners ignored that and just kept listening to Limbaugh.
People who cannot produce enough to justify a wage of $14.50 hr should not be allowed to work but should be required to live on the government dole unless they are known to harbor conservative views in which case they should be encouraged to starve or live on the street.

Unfortunately, with 80 million aggregate unemployed since the covid-19 lockdowns, those that can’t make $14.50 on their own have skyrocketed.
Your second half of the statement is true, unfortunately, with this new regime.,
Wealth is one of the few things created by mankind. It is created by mankind because it is measured by mankind. WEALTH CAN ONLY BE CREATED WHEN THE COST OF CREATING WEALTH IS LESS THAN THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCT THAT IS CREATED. In other words, wealth can only be created when the cost of labor and materials is less than the value of the product. If it doesn’t, the labor destroys wealth, it does not create it. Government only consumes wealth. It doesn’t create it, either.
Even these Marxist Democrats understand this. If they could really lift everyone out of poverty by raising the minimum wage, why not make it $1,500.00 per hour, so everyone could be a millionaire by working only a third of the year?
Capitalism creates wealth. Socialism destroys wealth. That’s why Socialism always fails.

So true. Republicans care for their constituents in India (and Communist China) far more that they care for Americans, and Democrats care for their constituents in Mexico (and Communist China) for more than they care for Americans.
Low-cost of labor and manufacturing beats giving jobs to Americans any day. Sadly, many Freepers agree with the globalists.
I used to think Freepers were really smart. There is thread on minimum wage where one dumba$$ thinks doubling of the minimum wage also doubles the retail price of a product.
Putting a floor on wages is not forwarding the cause of socialism.
