When will people learn that when you increase the incomes of low-skilled workers it only serves to increase inflation and thus they very same people that the increased minimum wage was supposed to benefit see not economic prosperity.
Instead, wages on for low-skilled workers should be decreased in order to allow increased income to stock holders and executives who can put that money back into circulation without causing inflation.
It raises the question of whether they should be allowed to consume air...
Low paying jobs are the gateway to the real world, and not intended to raise
a family! Like teaching, Teaching and Gov work used to be made up of people
willing to sacrifice for their country, not income and retirement benefits.
The only companies this will hurt are the Small business Ma&Pa.
The larger companies will just raise their prices or close locations.
It's just plain stupid.
