Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.
Move to the next page:
It was liberals that created the increase and now let them live with the disaster. Seattle will soon be another Detroit.
It is not that common sense has left Seattle but is that Seattle has become a big city wanna be town and now you cannot even go places to eat unless you want to spend $15.oo for sticky rice and some other dish. Prices in Seattle have become what not even bigger ciriws have and a lot of places cannot even cook,
Let them find out the hard way.
You can’t polish a “$#%&!@*”….
Stupidity
It’s Economics 101. It’s been tried and it just does not work.
They pout their heads together and came up with this idea of raising wages but as usual did not think of the immediate consequences and now its backfired and done more damage than benefit
No one saw this coning… Dopes
You have to put in your time to EARN promotions….
Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
