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.
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.
Ask Trump if he understands that “global competition” is the code phrase for “a race to the bottom”.
Looks like we’re winning.
Our wages are too high.
Our minimum wage is about $15.00 and the Mexicans charge $10.00.
It’s all relative. Pay less and the value of money becomes more.
Pay more and your saving are worth far less.
Worst campaign slogan ever.
Channeling Romney’s out-of-touch Thurston Howell III now.
It was the very question at the Milwaukee debate. Since this doesn't state the questioned. I'll state closely to what was asked.
Mr Trump do you favor an increase in the minimum wage?
Trump said no of course and stating his reasons. Everyone on the FR debate thread thought was a good answer or they didn't speak up.
Mr.Trump, repeat after me:
“The minimum wage must be abolished. The feds have no constitutional authority to interfere with wages and such interference is an economy killer.”
The taxes and regulations are too high. Wages are more or less amenable to free market accommodations. Taxes and regulations aren’t, those are imposed, as it were, from above.
If Donald doesn’t get that point, he is missing something terribly important.
Wages are too high because govt takes TOO DAMN much. What took 1 wage earner, up to ~1960) now takes 2+.
Good afternoon.
Here is a novel idea (not really), get rid of the Federal minimum wage. Let the states set whatever they want and sit back and watch the economy boom.
