..because a bag of Frito’s don’t cost $13.59 moron
The Minimum Wage is used by Unions as a Benchmark. If the Minimum Wage was $22 and hour. All their jobs would be outsourced.
To heck with a minimum wage - everybody should get $100K a year whether they work or not.
Why should I have to actually work? That's discriminatory!
Could not help but notice how well prepped and rehearsed the Dr. was as he responded to the obviously well rehearsed softball questions from Chief Sitting Squaw.
Minimum wage workers aren't worth $22 an hour. They aren't worth $22 an hour because your party has been successful in converting the focus of the US public school system from education to political indoctrination.
Let’s just make it $100 per hour. That’ll wipe out all private commercial activity, but what the hell... as Newsweek said, “We’re all socialists now.”
If the minimum wage were $22, a happy meal would be $20. Last time the raised the minimum wage, the economy went into a tailspin. Not that the minimum wage was the primary cause, but it certainly contributed.
Why don’t we just put a million dollars in every ones bank account. Liz. The minimum wage is for hiring people who don’t know anything. As you advance your wages increase. But that is something that someone who advanced through playing the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION INDIAN CARD would not know.
:: Robust competition is a powerful force helping to ensure that workers are paid what they contribute to their employers’ bottom lines. ::
Precisely the basis for a “minimum wage”; there should be no ^competition^ among workers, all are the same (AKA:mediocre!). There are no “hard workers”, “concientious workers” or even “lazy workers”. there are just “workers”.
Workers of the world, Unite!
Do a study on minimum wage workers. If they voted heavily for Obama, pass the increase. Do it this year, before the 2014 elections. I don’t feel the need to save people from their choices anymore.
Because McDonald’s Haburgers would be $11 each you DUMBASS WOMAN!!!
Anyone who had her for a college ‘professor’ should demand a refund.
Spend four years working your *** off in college to earn $22/hour
...be an idiot and drop out of high school to earn $22/hour
Which will people choose? Huh Warren?
This is part of Obama’s economic plan, and why he feels he does not need to cut spending. He has chosen inflation to devalue the value of the debts. Everything he does economically tries to spark inflation.
Because the minimum wage is the benchmark hourly scale upon which Union wages are negotiated. 22 an hour from 7.25/hour would translate to over $110/hour for a us autoworker, for example. Even more for hourly truckers and.....voila.. incredible inflation of prices for goods.
Detroit UAW members who earn $75 an hour do not do work that could be done by unskilled workers. Minimum wage increases the earnings of union members who compete with low-skilled workers for jobs. The estimate is if the minimum wage rises 40 percent, unionized workers who earn between the minimum wage and twice the minimum wage could see their earnings rise between 20 and 40 percent.
A higher minimum wage increases the expense of hiring unskilled workers. This makes hiring skilled union members more attractive and could raise the earnings of union members who compete with minimum wage workers by 20-40 percent. Meanwhile, non-union, low-skilled workers’ earnings actually fall due to reduced working hours and fewer job opportunities. Raise the wage— fewer jobs, even at the mcdonalds.
Just remember...bankers and democrats..LOVE socialism because of the built in inflation, and the dems love it because taxes “have” to go up while the money to pay them has to go up. Meanwhile... all of the regular folks suffer in complete misery. Nice setup. This Warren fauxahontas is one stupid ahol biotch.
Imagine someone making $21/hour for sweeping the floor or flipping a burger. Okay, well, the former already exists in government union jobs. Not sure about the latter.
is that how much Liz pays her housekeeper?
