I will never understand your reasoning for federally raising the minimum wage that employers must implement. You sound like every progressive liberal in congress. Why would you want systematic inflation, loss of jobs and creation of more government restrictions?
It shouldn’t need to be federally mandated. It should be common sense.
Call me any name you like but common sense is common sense, I have no sacred cows to protect.
Gas costs nearly 2 dollars more a gallon than it did 6 years ago, the average drive-through menu meal-deal is up by two bucks.
Not all parents put their kids through school.Not all kids want the government/public to put them through school or pay any of their bills. Maybe they don’t want the debt for the education, either.
Tell me all about fair, then cry me a river about welfare, will ya?
You sure want to cry fair for business—I am not looking for ‘fair’. I am looking at what is reasonable with the cost of living.
Reasonable...that’s all.
Further, I would like to comment that there are many smaller businesses paying their employees more than the federally mandated wage.
These smaller businesses also don’t handout to the employees how to collect government benefits.
Hobby Lobby is one company, Bill Miller BBQ is another, there are many smaller businesses that do this.
Why is that do you think? They did this before Obama.
So we should defend big business who pays just what they must but also hand out directions on how to suck the government teat?
You tell me where the problem is and explain this difference to me, would you?
