Hell why not make it $100 an hour so we can all be rich? /s

[coloradan]

Why not just make it $50/hr? Then everyone would be pulling down a cool $100 grand a year each, and everyone would be solidly middle class. Poverty would be eliminated in the stroke of a pen!

So, they don’t think that anyone who can’t produce at least $9.80 worth of goods and services has a right to a job.

Instant job loss. Employers will do with eight employees when they really needed 12.

Getting re-elected on the backs of those they’re pretending to help ...

There is no Constitutional authorization for these people to be monkeying around with this.

[Irish Eyes]

Get rid of them...their stupidity grows greater everyday.

Timing people, timing.

Once again, for the hundredth time, the only real reason to increase the minimum wage is that all government employees contracts (union) are tied to a baseline above minimum wage. ie, a postal worker is paid a base wage of X above minimum wage as their contracts are negotiated. So an incease of minimum wage is an immediate raise for every government worker.

Got any questions?

[popdonnelly]

Did you ever notice how everything the Democrats do raises the costs to businesses?

[hitkicker]

No doubt they’ll say that “we” want to give workers a raise. How very easy it must be to spend other people’s money.

[BobL]

Interesting that they couldn’t find any takers in Albany - so they try to dump this crap on the entire country.

Good luck!!!

You guys are off on an ideological rant about this when what is called for is cold rational thought. So why would Shumer care about giving folks a raise. He doesn't. Instead, he's looking at the employment options of TOMORROW"S Democrat party ~ the illegal aliens.

They need jobs, not a raise, so if he can get the federal minimum wage jacked up a couple more bucks that'll make it worth just that much more to employers to take the risk of hiring illegals for $4.50 an hour. They can then lay off their Americans to collect unemployment.

Never forget, Chuckey is a sociopath. He never does anything because he feels pity for them. He is the sort who gets his pound of flesh first.

Gillibrand is simply stupid.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Commie lib ‘RATS giving away other people’s money again. There must be some elections coming up. Stuff it Charlie!

[Dapper 26]

Heck, why be such tightwads? Why not $50.00 or $100 an hour? There’s a “living wage” for you.

[arasina]

I have an idea: New York should secede from the United States and become it's own little socialist entity. That way Bloomberg, Schumer, Gillenbrand, the U.N. and all the rest of the liberal do-gooders can live the lives they really want.

[Iron Munro]

Black youth unemployment isn’t high enough to suit them?

[SMGFan]

Well that seems fair. $20 an hour even fairer. You are only living when you have money left over after you pay your bills. ..Cell phone, cable ...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

We will soon be hearing about a “maximum wage” from these Marxsts. Perhaps as soon as the DNC.

[GeronL]

These idiots will never fix anything
