1. the government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly rate.
2. if it is raised, it will soon not be enough, and the left will agitate to raise it again, and that will not be enough, and they will push to raise it again, ..... repeat until doomsday.
“...if it is raised, it will soon not be enough, and the left will agitate to raise it again, and that will not be enough, and they will push to raise it again, ..... repeat until doomsday.”
If the leftist modus operandi is at work, we’ll soon hear how $15 per hour is too low. The plan only starts working at $50 per hour.
Our HOA which runs three restaurants and other club facilities here in AZ has cut hours and reduced employment as a result of the new minimum wage law. That and Obama care have cost a lot jobs.
That’s part of it. You may have forgot to put in when the price of a cup of coffee goes up 300% to cover the costs of HR, and the public doesn’t kick down your door to buy it, those high paid minimum wage employees become a detriment and a bad mark on your bottom line. Lay offs, cut hours, store hour cutbacks, all add up to taking that inflated wage back to where it was. But it also kills the sales. More of the above.
