Have you ever had a simple econ class?
What part of the fact that minimum wages are entry level jobs for people with NO skills at all and that the ONLY reason the Dems want to keep raising them, is because UNION SALARIES are tied to the minimum wage don't you get?
The higher the minimum wage, the fewer the jobs, BTW.
Keep in mind that you are an ignorant bleeding heart, who doesn't understand, nor care about reality; someone much better suited to being on DU.
So, I have a friend who is also my brother's brother in law who is union. He works in the budweiser brewery in Houston. Good wages, free health care, good treatment, and free beer. And the company is very profitable.
Whatever.
No kidding! :-)
ROTFLOL...and on Christmas Eve, no less!

You're completely out of your depth here...go back to DU!
No, not "whatever", at all.
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

A minimum wage doesn't mean the person always has to work for minimum wage. It's stupid and politicians who know it damages those it purports to help, do it anyway because they depend on the ignorant populace to fall for it.
