Here is what the Democrats have to vote for in 2016 ..........lmao

I'm not saying 15 was a hand out. I meant welfare was a handout. But what are you supposed to do with the people who worked hard starting out at minimum wage that are now assistant managers at fast food places. Maybe they're making 16 an hour now, so some 17 year old is going to walk through the door on day 1 and make basically the same as the assistant manager there. Because what will happen next is the managers will want a raise. And it 'll get to the point where a salesman at best buy is making as much as someone with an engineering degree. 

One intervention leads to another. 

I wonder if true price discovery would benefit the worker if jobs did not have the archaic minimum wage to act as a floor for wages. 

I bet metropolitan wages would sharply increase fairly quickly, and rural wages would probably stay somewhat close to the artificial level. 

I know Don Juan believes that such action would cause feudal lords, I don't. 

Look at North Dakota.  I think (I have heard, I don't have Real #s) but the Fast food workers in ND are making 15 because they can't attract labor for less because of the booming gas situation there. 

There are places that could facilitate 15 for sure, but not when the government makes an artificial floor.

If a company like McDonalds can spend almost 3 million per day on advertising, they certainly could adjust to a higher pay scale. In fact, last year 36 companies spent more than a billion dollars on advertising. So basically you're fattening the wallets of the ad execs and those that benefit from it while still believing $15 an hour per employee is excessive. 

Gregg Abbott is a paraplegic and uses a wheelchair.. that did not stop him from becoming the present Governor of Texas.....

FDR was wheelchair-dependent and could not even dress or bathe himself...it did not stop him from becoming the President of the United States...

You have to set your ambitions high..and not just accept the cards you are given ...go out and improve your hand.

So you are advocating a minimum wage based on the amount of money the business makes. 

Like a mandatory minimum wage that applies at different rungs of profit? 

I don't know if I hate that.  Completely. 

I think it would drive all talent to the larger companies/ corporations and create a "brain drain" in small business, but if we have to have a minimum wage.  That would probably be a more fair way to apply it. 

You all need a crash course in empathy.

I'm plenty empathetic to the workers, but also realistic as to the problems the increase would create. Our country has made it nearly impossible for smaller businesses to compete and this would be another glaring example. 

You probably get upset when everyone doesn't get particparion medals in sports don't you. Life's full of winners and losers the sooner you get out of your snowglobe of a world where you expect everyone to share the wealth and hold hands and dance along the sooner you 'll understand that life is what you make of it. Not to sound cliche but you create your own luck. Poor people are poor for a reason and rich people are rich for a reason. Sure there are extreme circumstances but those are rare. 

Okay, we now should adopt new laws regarding gambling winnings. 

This is untrue................||fingershake.gif' border=0>  More Democrat  propaganda ....and lies..

Three federal min wage increases in 2007 2008 and 2009 ....a year later no increase in jobs.

Same thing in 1990 .... no increase in jobs 12 months later after min wage increase..
