He also said he is open to incrementally raising the federal minimum wage, a process that would take years before reaching the $15 per hour promised land.


This is what needs to happen. increase by $1.50 every four years until you get there.

You would create an unnecessary baby boom. And people getting married for not the right reasons.

“Why do married people get more money?”

Same reason married with children do, TO PROMATE FAMILY

Got to be one of the most convoluted and illogical posts I have ever read.

Two of us followed it, and I "aced" Logic 101.

Pretty sure that’s illegal.

If you’re already making $14.00 and hour, would you vote for the clown and lose your job to a robot for $15.00 an hour and be happy to pay $5.00 for a loaf of bread?

Because you’d literally have employers paying 50 cents an hour. Which ones you ask? The employees paying the minimum wage.

Maybe some jobs are only worth $0.50/hour in some areas. One thing is for sure, though: every time the government sets a minimum wage, jobs will be lost as the job market is distorted. This is a universal constant.

Democrats: “if you can’t produce over $15/hr of value, you’re not allowed to earn anything at all.”

D@mn fascists.

Probably so. But I have heard how the country will die if the minimum wage raises. I remember the minimum wage at 3.35 in 1987. Raised it to 7.50 in 2007. And we’re still here. I’m not a fan but it’s not a nuclear bomb or anything. First it won’t raise until 2026. By them it will be worth 7.50. Lol.

Just go to the one a block up the street. Lol. We have four in a five mile street. It’s a bust street but still. No Chick-fil-A in the street. Ugh.

Correct. A $15.00 minimum wage makes the labor of someone who can do $14.99 per hour worth of work or less literally illegal to be employed.

So you want to enact illegal wage compensation to counter their crimes?

It would make far more sense than just an across the board $15 minimum wage, which will destroy millions of actual jobs.

How about neither?

You don’t counter their shitty idea with your shitty idea.

You counter a bad idea with a better one, otherwise you will always get the original bad one.

The better idea is saying no to $15, not being biased against single people.
That would be just wonderful for men whose wives left them and are paying alimony.
Also, many single live alone, so not only is their income one instead of two, but they make less. Great idea.
