I talk with alot of regular non political people and the one thing most of them have in common is they support the $15 minimum wage. These are not all Bernie backers, either. Their argument usually falls along the line of “well, these rich CEO’s can afford to give workers a raise.”
The level of economic ignorance in this country is astounding
Moonbeam, and the rest of the liberal fools, on their normal path of destruction -— without any concern for consequences. It is about power and control, buying votes, and cementing their place in the once-great state of Taxifornia.
Actually, there is no $15 minimum wage at present. It is being phased in at a time rate that will allow repeal if things go wrong as evidenced by the apparel co moving from LA
Political weakness has forced the leaders of dying California and NY to take political positions that are detrimental.
“Half the people cannot afford to live and the other half are driving BMWs. “
Thank QE for that.
‘He stated “I’m hoping that what happens in California will not stay in California, but spread all across the country.’
Oh, guaranteed. What’s been happening in California, namely for-profit business, won’t stay in California - businesses will trip all over themselves to get out of the state and go someplace - anyplace - else.
Unfortunately, they just don’t get it out there, so employees who move will do their level best to bring their economic delusions with them.
These “regular non political people” must be thinking they haven’t been taxed enough already (i.e., not Tea party).
Just a few years back, the 47% number must have jumped quite a bit .....
It’s long past time to eliminate the min wage completely. Let the market decide what non-skilled workers deserve. If you can’t live off non-skilled wages, then get off your duff and learn a bleepin’ skill. A trained monkey can flip burgers and be just as sanitary as most of the human burger flippers.
look at Brown’s pic above. see how weird his right jacket collar looks? whats up with that?
And .. the garment industry in LA is leaving the state; because they cannot survive with that high a wage.
Hmmmm ..?? The state has already lost over 4 million people; probably conservatives, because that’s why I’m leaving.
What really makes me laugh is that illegal aliens are coming to California and will get $15 an hour. Ha Hahah
It is obvious from the economic policies we see coming from gov’t, and especially CA, that our politicians have the economic IQ of dust.
California can do what it likes just so long as the rest of the country is not expected to bail them out when, not if, they go bankrupt.

Actually, they believe the “rich CEO’s” will pay it
I know. You see what we’re up against?
Those $5.00 Mickey D cheeseburgers just won’t taste the same as the 69¢ ones.....
Should raise it to $3000 an hour.
Newsflash. Those rich CEOs will still be rich no matter what is set as the minimum wage.
You are right, The level of economic ignorance in this country is astounding
What about the poor fool who is making just above $15 per after years of dedication to their employer and hard work - surely they will get a $7 raise the instant the $15 minimum kicks in. Otherwise those years of hard work were a big fat waste of time and effort.
So those regular non political people think it’s OK for an unskilled entry level worker to make as much money as a someone who went to the trouble of learning a skill or trade?

Hey, I’m on board with you. The most common word I hear is “fairness.”
I’m really beginning to hate that word
Any and all minimum wages should have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court as they were initiated. Along with businesses reserving the right to refuse service to ANYONE for ANY REASON.
