You have to cut labor costs and make Chinese goods more expensive, but the way to do that is cut taxes and regulation before you try to cut wages. The people are suffering enough.
Our wages are too high because our money’s worth is too low.
Having no job is the cruelest “wage cut” of all.
The rent is too high because the wages are too low!
Look who’s talking.
Sheesh.
Only free markets can determine a fair wage.
Reality is a tough thing. We’ve got 40 million Mexicans in here many of them working cheaper. There has to be a place for lower waged Americans we cannot all be managers some have to be workers this is economic reality.
Very true, which is why we must stop a minimum wage increase. In fact, there ought not to be a legally-mandated minimum wage. The market will find the appropriate level.
Maurice Strong (Andrew Stern???) wants $12 min wage worldwide. Lo, and behold, now it’s $15?
0bama says the TPP will level the playing field for American ‘workers’ (read people who work, not the commie ‘workers’).
This directly means that Americans will work minimum wage jobs.
Ask Trump if he understands that “global competition” is the code phrase for “a race to the bottom”.
Looks like we’re winning.
Government shouldn't guarantee everybody a job and a minimum wage.
Agree. But try telling that to the STEM tehnocrats around here. Oh? Robot took your job? Then become an electrical engineer and fix the robot you loser.
Our wages are too high.
Our minimum wage is about $15.00 and the Mexicans charge $10.00.
He did not one time suggest cutting wages. He is against raising minimum wage. Two different things.
It’s all relative. Pay less and the value of money becomes more.
Pay more and your saving are worth far less.
The dollar's stronger now than it's been in 11 years.
Worst campaign slogan ever.
Channeling Romney’s out-of-touch Thurston Howell III now.
“He did not one time suggest cutting wages. He is against raising minimum wage. Two different things.”
Thank you for being the smart one in this forum! Clearly you (and I) were the only ones who read beyond the headline....

but inflation always outpaces wages unless you have a stable currency. It is the nature of a fiat based money system that makes it an indirect tax on the poor.
