I think your points are invalid because people need to eat and automation will happen regardless of wages.As the Lefties like to say, "The science is SETTLED; there is no more time for discussion!"
The economic science tells us the following: Any time the price of a commodity is artificially increased to exceed its economic value there will be three results:
(1) The consumers of the commodity will use less of it (reduced employees and hours);
(2) The consumers of the commodity will seek out alternatives (automation, outsourcing); and
(3) A black market will be created (employment of under-the-counter workers).
Why $15/hour, you niggardly bastards? Why not $20? Why not $25? If this is how one creates prosperity, why settle for half-measures?
Personally I think minimum wage should be at least $20/hour in America. Raising the minimum wage would be a huge boon to our economy and bring countless people out of the poor house and into the middle class.
I think the majority of the opposition to raising the minimum wage is due to childish jealousy.
$20 an hour? That would destroy the middle class. Inflation would go through the roof.
Some of you morons need to never be anywhere near a policy decision.
