A human in today's modern society will purchase or make use of 200 or more products. From food to toothpaste.Um yeah they do. Something at McDonald's may go up 10 cents while a person making $1.50 more an hour can afford to buy a lot more on the menu at a time.Pennies add up, economics 101Why would they still be poor? If the minimum wage was increased to 10.10, the price increase on goods would be pennies on the dollar. Not only that, but the boost to consumer spending would keep prices down.They would still be poor and the food stamp limit would have to be raised Ass hatOh and had Obama been successful in raising the minimum wage, far less people would be eligible for food stamps. You didn't know that did you?Food stamps have doubled in 8 years with fewer restrictions and you claim Obama is a centrist. NO asset means test on ACA, folks with a million or 3 in the bank can qualify with low income, and Obama is a centrist. Roll me one out of your bag. Obama grows socialist programs.
Lets put that 18 million in perspective. That means that over 94 percent of the population is making over minimum wage. Of the 5.6 percent that is making minimum wage, how many are teenagers or young adults who live at home or are entering the work force for the first time?The minumum wage in terms of inflation is stuck in the 60s. 18 million people make less than 10 per hour. Don't you think that's a problem? Millions of people have NO CHOICE but to accept low wage jobs.A minimum wage people can live off Minimum wage was intended to be a way for a person to enter the workforce and gain experience, not as a living wage, why should it be now?Republicans seem to only use labels such as "socialism", "communism", or "facism" in regards to the left. They make outrageous claims like Obama and democrats want everyone to abandon their jobs and live off welfare. They think liberals wants to end capitalism as we know it.
None of this is based in reality but they believe it anyway. They just believe what they want to believe. Do they even understand what liberalism stands for? I think if they did understand it, they would embrace it.
When will facts permeate their stupidity bubbles?
Well why don't you take this opportunity to educate us, tell us exactly what the left wants. Please be specific, no bumper sticker slogans.
A moderately regulated market to protect consumers. Define moderately regulated.
Affordable healthcare for the poor We have that, it's called medicade
Strengthen the middle class. How, be specific.
No more bumper sticker slogans, tell us specifically what you want and how you're going to get there.
Regulations to protect the environment, food and drugs.
Medicaid only pays for so much. Poor people can't afford basic cancer treatment. Big Pharma makes all it's money off of the middle class and wealthy.
Shift most of the tax burden to the wealthy. This will improve education and infrastructure. Both of which improve jobs for the middle class.
Apparently you don't understand economics. Not everything will go up 10 cents. Many prices won't change at all actually. The boost to consumer spending from bigger paychecks will Lower pricesA human in today's modern society will purchase or make use of 200 or more products. From food to toothpaste.Um yeah they do.

You didn't know that did you?
If you add that 10 cents to each item, you come up with an increase of 20 dollars. That means if you raise the minimum wage to 10 dollars per hour, an increase of $2.75, the poor person is losing $17.25. This assumes that just each item add only 10 cents to cover the increase in wage.
So much for your vaunted compassion and living wage.
That's easy to do actually. The average person in fast food is 29 years old. Most of that 18 million are adults.Lets put that 18 million in perspective.

Just throwing out numbers means very little without context. A 5% minimum wage rate is not the crisis some people would like to make out.

About 3 trillion is from Bush's tax cuts. The bulk of it is defense spending which you repubs love.Obama has spent over $20 TRILLION dollars and all we have to shoe for it is record debt, deficits and food stamps
Progressives Fail 100% of the time

Bush saved taxpayers $3 trillion? From when to when?
Apparently YOU do not understand economics. An increase in minimum wage is an increase (or downward pressure) on economic growth across the entire economy. Even companies that pay more than minimum wage will need to raise wage and prices to offset the raising of the floor. However, you are correct that not every price will go up the same amount. Some will rise more than 10 cents while others will only go up a few pennies. The point, however; is that the prices will be going up across the board.Apparently you don't understand economics. Not everything will go up 10 cents. Many prices won't change at all actually.

Well true, but I wanted to keep it simple for Mr Trips. The main point was that it is a very small percentage of the population as a whole, and I didn't even cover the fact that those who are making minimum wage are simply doing so as a stepping stone to better wages. The economy is not stagnant as he suggests, but always in flux.Lets put that 18 million in perspective. That means that over 94 percent of the population is making over minimum wage. Of the 5.6 percent that is making minimum wage, how many are teenagers or young adults who live at home or are entering the work force for the first time?
Just throwing out numbers means very little without context. A 5% minimum wage rate is not the crisis some people would like to make out.
One small correction. Dark. That 94% only represent about 50% of us that actually WORK. The other half live off of our taxes. In otherwords...the leeches sucking our tax money out in WELFARE.
You of course, have an unbiased source for that? Because if a person is 29 years old and has been in fast food making minimum wage since 17 or 18 (A period of 11 or 12 years) the problem is not the minimum wage. IT is the person.That's easy to do actually. The average person in fast food is 29 years old. Most of that 18 million are adults.Lets put that 18 million in perspective.

Lol why do you assume these people have been in fast food that long? You're just making your own assumptions. Look it up. The average age of someone in fast food is 29.

The Constitution makes no mention of parties.Even the dimocrats don't understand it. They just follow along like a wet puppy. They will vote for a goddamn baboon if it's got a sign hanging around its neck declaring it's a dimocrat.
Sorry buddy, the middle class killed itself off voting for demagogues that promised domestic tranquillity could be ensured by giving the masses bread(food stamps, rent subsidies,etc) and circuses(subsidised pro sports, for example) on borrowed money($18trillion in debt).A minimum wage people can live offRepublicans seem to only use labels such as "socialism", "communism", or "facism" in regards to the left.
