Automation, that is the 800 pound gorilla in the room no one wants to talk about, mediocrity is over, personally if this person was smarter, he would argue for universal basic income type deal or something similar.

And outsourcing to India or moving manufacturing back to Communist China are the other 2 800 pound gorillas

These red dot indians do not value freedom. At best they strive for British colonial style government.

Agree. A terrible people and a gutter culture. No more should be let in and the one here should be deported.

From his congressional web page:

Rep. Khanna graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Economics from the University of Chicago...

And we don’t want political representatives that don’t understand that small businesses are the life blood of this Country.

Does she have any idea what a federal $15/hr wage would do to say a new state of Porto Rico? I am sure the federal government would just increase federal assistance to the state for any damage.

I was thinking about this and came up with an idea. Congressional democrats want $15/hour? Give it to them good and hard.

A perfect reductio ad absurdum.

Yeah, because who wants a business whose owner can make a
living, and workers who can make one also, and one the
feds, the state, the county, and the city can tax them all
in tens of different ways.

How many more jobs would have been created if not for that? The fact that more jobs were created doesn't prove it didn't have a negative affect on growth or the business. If a small business can only hire 1 person at $15 instead of 2 at say, $10, then company still grew, but there was still a negative affect.

The union angle is the very point that most people miss. Remember Biden states he was a union guy. Doubling minimum wage doubles union salaries across the nation and will put a serious economic hamper upon recovery.

"Dem Rep. Khanna: ‘We Don’t Want’ Small Businesses That Can’t Afford $15 Minimum Wage"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Whatever the post-FDR era law schools are teaching the students these days, it's certainly not the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for those powers to be understood.

Where INTRAstate business is concerned, patriots are reminded the following. Regardless what FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers, 19th century Supreme Court justices had clarified the already clear meaning of the Commerce Clause.

More specifically, the states have never expressly constitutionally given Congress the specific power to regulate any aspect of intrastate commerce which includes singling out “the wages of labor” as an example of a power that the Commerce Clause does not give to Congress.

So Rep. Ro Khanna needs to lose his lawmaking job under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for rebelling against the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers by blatantly disrespecting small businesses as he promotes the overreach of those powers imo.

"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [emphasis added], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Why would there be fewer jobs for illegals? If you’re hiring an illegal, you are doing so illegally (by definition). If you’re breaking one law by hiring an illegal, why would you not break another and pay that illegal less than minimum wage? Do you really think illegals won’t work for less than minimum wage?

You make it much too complicated.

Pay senators and representatives $15 an hour. Not a penny more, not a penny less.

Sit back and watch...make sure you have popcorn.

Walmart will become like Amazon, all online.

There will be no jobs.

Walmart and Amazon won’t be able to pay enough taxes to cover basic wages that will need to be handed out.

Disaster.

That is okay for California if they choose to go that way, but Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), please do not try to inflict the rest of the small businesses in the country with it.
