ANY minimum is too high. The minimum wage should be abolished.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Outstanding point!

Our poor are already infinitely wealthy by global standards. Does not seem to cut down on the whining any.

...at which point the “Occupy Wall Street” people will themselves become the 1% and have to stage protests and sit-ins against themselves.

They key word here is All Working Americans.
For those who can't find work because of the Minimum Wage, the benefit is less clear.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There are many manufacturing jobs that pay more than minimum wage but less than $15/hr. And many of those places have thin profit margins. Raise the minimum wage to $15/hr and their profit margin vanishes. When that happens, they move the jobs overseas where they can pay far less. So now you have an unemployed worker who can’t find a job.

Well, they all got participation trophies in middle school...so why not? :)

I wasn’t making an honest $15 an hour when I retired from my skilled trades job. They want to make $15/hr. as minimum wage?? This is nuts!

[Skooz]

I want a minimum wage of a gabazillion dollars. I could buy anything then.

[SMARTY]

Better habituate yourself to squalor... it's our future

I’ve been trying to think through a way of really getting across the point that a $15 an hour minimum wage for the US is really just too high.

Minimum wage can be as high as one wants. Just create more and more money out of thin air like Zimbabwe.

What kind of idiots fail to understand that raising wages will raise prices on product as well???
