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.

I used to work for 8.50/hour, I didn’t complain
jeez, these people are stupid, they don’t think about the long term effects…I knew this was going to happen
The beauty of America is that you can open a business and hire people if you choose. Take a risk and start a company. Got to love progressives: Someone else risk everything and give them a share they deem sufficient. Problem is that they are NEVER satisfied with anything.
I don’t believe you
Laurie Chevalier Fritz this is what I was referring to on your other post
Donald Maxwell Lay offs is one of the things that anti raise people have said would happen. Now picture that on a national scale. No company would call for their workers to support a near 50% wage increase based on what is min wage now….
