One of the laws of economics that liberals are forced to deny to push their agenda is that it is impossible to legislate the value of someone’s work. That can only be done by the market as it compares the value of all work and assigns values based on how those people making up that market chose to spend their money.
The government can certainly pass laws stating the minimum rates that a worker can be paid for performing specific jobs, but all that means is that if someone’s work is not deemed by the market to be worth that wage, workers will not be employed to do those jobs. In some cases, technology that was previously too expensive will now become economical and will be used to replace human workers.
An example of this is provided on page two.
Fucking liar
The hypocrisy of the left is so ugly. According to them we have to keep ILLEGALS or our food prices will go up and stuff will rot in the field, but raising the minimum wage to $15/hr will not make prices go up……Leftist Logic
With all the protests about minimum wage, look for all of the fast food servics
This isn’t just about the $15 wage, all companies are looking to automate. Fast food, grocery stores, manufacturing plants, etc. When you don’t have to pay an actual live employee, you won’t have to pay into Unemployment tax, Social Security, 401K; No more paid time off for vacation or sick time. Let alone a salary or paycheck. Companies and Corporation’s have made more profits in the last decade then ever before. It’s not that they won’t make a profit by paying $15/hr, but it will cut into their profit margin. If they don’t make more in profit’s than they did last year they consider it a loss. Employees are glad if they at least make the same money as last year. Not less, but at least stay the same.
Dems don’t give a$#%&!@*about Americans. WAKE UP.
Where are all the teenagers? When i was 16 i worked @ Burger King. Then i grew up and got a real job. How embarassing for these dumb bastards.
IDIOTS – can legislate us into a financial depression by killing the JOB MARKET. THEY MUST always consider impact of Demands On The Employer
Hopefully any restaurants who do that, lose customers to the point of closures.
GOOD…LET THEM LEARN THAT ENTRY LEVEL JOBS ARE JUST THAT….WELL…MAYBE NOT ANYMORE….KIOSKS CANT PICKET!!!!
