Bernie Sanders PROOF socialist are moonbats..
How many people working for minimum wage are actually trying to make a living, paying rent and utilities, wife and 2.4 kids?...
Normally it’s mostly teenagers working part time at fast food places. I’ve worked minimum wage jobs several times, but usually not trying to support a family, never been married. At worst rent and groceries. No it’s not easy...
On the flip side, Seattle is getting a good dose of $15 minimum, restaurants closing daily.
If minimum wage goes up, the employer has a couple of options.
1. Raise prices - Customers won’t like that, look for another source for what they need.
2. Cut back hours.
3. Cut back workforce.
3 is the most common choice.
Bottom line is most businesses have a set budget for payroll. When minimum goes up they won’t raise that, they’ll adjust in other ways to bring it back to the same percentage or dollar amount.
I’d love to see minimum wage a lot higher, that would be great. But it means a lot of people either lose their jobs or lose hours. Bringing them right back to where they were before. That or the price we pay for everything as consumers goes up that much more.
If I were working for minimum wage here in Texas now ($7.25) I wouldn’t be pushing too hard for a huge raise, $8 at best. That sounds a lot better than what I’d be making after I lost my job...
Just sayin...
Sanders paying less while demanding $15 is no surprise, he’s not the only one I’ve heard about, I can’t remember who right now, but I’ve heard of others too. Hillary probably doesn’t pay hers at all. If I know her she considers it a privilege to work in her majestic presence...that’s pay enough...
