Pene,

If there was an actual connecting between the min wage and unemployment then I would be against it. But there is no connection.

The right likes their government subsidized unskilled labor force. ...and they call us socialists.

This is a real eye opener:

If Walmart Paid Its Employees a Living Wage, How Much Would Prices Go Up?

You provide us with an argument from Slate. Really?

While I won't deny that there are a whole lot of ersatz Republicans on the cheap labor express, not all on the right are. I would say the "real" right is totally against the that kind of cheap labor. Whereas with the left it is pretty much everyone is in favor of open borders and cheap imported labor. Look at who is try so hard to stop the President from deporting these illegal laborers. Follow the money.

Mmmm, I call baloney on that. The truth of the matter is, there should be no minimum wage either way. Everything else is tangential.

hey if you, Walmart employees and anyone don't want to work for wages you feel are beneath you then............don't. It's just that simple, I have no doubt that just like now there will be all sorts of people eager to work to the place of them.

You want to pay people a 'living wage', whatever the hell that means from day to day, then start your own damn business and pay your employees that wage and good luck to you in keeping a customer base at the prices you have to charge to do it.

you can take me off your pings because I'm done, you cite numbers and graphs, I lived reality and trust me your numbers and reality just don't meet.

Okay, I watched your video, and it is so simplistic as to be irrelevant. Not really the great masterpiece you think it is at all. Now watch the video I provided and see why your minimum wage is nothing but a myth, and the results always play out the same every time the minimum is raised. There is a net zero gain. In other words, it did nothing, except perhaps hit the person living on a fixed income the hardest. So when that is the case there is actually a net loss.

Just like most of what comes out of liberal outlets, are distorted facts that tell what makes their case while ignoring other facts that contradict their case.
