Big mistake! It will ruin the economy even more, but Democrats are to stupid to understand that.
The minimum wage increases, but the long time employees wages stay stagnant. How ignorant is that. Isn't that in a sense discriminating against long time employees.
By the way that picture speaks volumes. Why are there so many empty seats when we pay our representatives to be in Annapolis representing us.
10:16 That is BS. The only companies making "record profits" are big oil., big pharma and banking/loans. Most of them have few, if any, minimum wage earners. This will kill jobs here, but have a sip of tea, and keep living in your fantasy land. Must have some good trees there.
I wonder just how many legislators actually changed their minds/votes after this 'floor debate'. My guess is none. So, what good comes from these debates in any level of gov't? And, I'm still guessing none.
"In the past when the MW was raised the unemployment rate held virtually steady at the same rate." Sorta' accurate. However, I can't find a historical instance when the economy was as fragile as it is now. Additionally, I can't find an instance when there were, quite literally, tens of millions of unskilled illegals vying for jobs. I don't think it is wise to assume that past performance will guarantee the same results this time around.

ReplyDeleteIf you have not gotten a raise from your employer, either he is a cheapskate or you are a lousy employee.
Employers have been dragging the "I am so poor" excuse on employees for years now while making record profits.
If you are a long time employee not making enough then its time to work on your job search.
This will be a plus for the economy, you know those on minimum wage will spend every penny of this raise. Time to practice some trickle up!

ReplyDelete11:51 I love comedy in the morning, thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteMost of them have few MW workers??
Most of them have employees on some form of welfare.
And my statement can be backed up with data showing unemployment rates before and after MW increases. What you got, other than jokes and insults?

ReplyDelete12:52 Sorry, I was playing your game. Troll.
