Oops, StupidOldLyingFart did it once again!

The minimum!

[Chica Chaser]

Its futile COG, they will never name a number.

[CuteOldGuy]

That was my point, CC. They never can.

[Chica Chaser]

I know, I tried the same thing way back when on the income tax rates. No one would name a number then either.

[Yssup Rider]

How about 69? That's a good number. Always in good taste!

Frankly, I have no idea what it takes for someone making minimum wage to live above the poverty line. But that's where minimum wage should be, IMHO. People who can put in a 40-hour work week should not have to struggle to eat.

I don't see why that should be a problem for all the job creators and baby savers out there.

As BT said ... It should be the MINIMUM!

[CuteOldGuy]

Glad you feel that strongly about it, Assup. So strongly, in fact, you will force business owners to spend of their money, under threat of force, to do that. I knew you were opposed to freedom.

Yeah 69...classy

Every penny that a business pays their employees is reflected in the cost you pay for the goods or service. Raise the minimum wage, watch the prices go up correspondingly. Same with business taxes, the business doesn't pay them, we do.

So your idea is to keep the labor force poor, so we can continue adding them to entitlement programs,, right?

I bet you don't have a remote clue how that sounds.

[CuteOldGuy]

No, you idiot. I support policies which would boost business, and naturally raise the minimum wage to where its equilibrium point would be higher than what the government imposes. Raising the minimum wage is a phony, "feel good" proposition that does more harm than good. It prices entry level labor out of the market.

If you are trying to raise a family on minimum wage, and can't figure out anything to do earn more, you are probably eligible for disability.

Be careful now, you are once again at risk for painting yourself into another corner.



StupidOldLyingFart seems to be having a really, really bad day!
