Please.. that’s an argument is complete BS.
Federal Minimum wage in 1971
1.60 an hour
2023 equivalent:
Right about $12
Federal minimum wage today:
7.25 an hour and hasn’t changed sim 2009.
Fix it, make it $12 and then annually adjust to inflation automatically just like social security and be done with this stupid political theater nonsense.
It’s not going away and it’s a stupid rhetorically idiotic thing that gets dragged out every so often.
Just adjust it, to proper value, adjust it annually for inflation and be done with this absolutely stupid nonsense.
No federal increase to the minimum wage in 15 year is criminal.
You think the Uniparty wants to do anything but keep everyone down, you have to look no further than this stupidity.
Keep the poor poor and the rest we’ll drive into poverty by inflation driven by fraud and theft.
Folks need to wake up, capital is not flowing through the economy and classes as it should, and that’s a bad bad thing. Don’t have to be a leftist to realize things are now working like they should.
LMAO. You think minimum wage works. You know it’s a scam to inflate union wages, right? You do know many of their contracts say they have to make X amount more than minimum wage. Or they use a higher minimum wage in negotiations.
Anyone with a brain knows if you raise wages prices are going to inflate too.
The market rate for labor is unique to every geographic area and based on the economy of that area.
When I drive around, I see taco stands and burger joints offering $17.00 to $18.00 an hour and warehouse workers and light industrial offering $25.00 to $28.00 an hour.
No one is going to take a job paying $7.25 and for that matter, no one will take a job at $12.00 an hour.
If your business is not willing to pay that $20.00 an hour, your business will fail.
The market makes the right decisions and the value of labor is at minimum $17.00 to $20.00 an hour.
“No federal increase to the minimum wage in 15 year is criminal.”
No, it is not. There should be NO minimum wage.
There is no such thing as “minimum wage”. All the law does is outlaw any job not worth the price set, and it increases inflation by manipulating the markets to pay more than what a job is worth.
Wow, someone gets it.
