Typical leftist non-answer. Profits have nothing to do with the question.You haven't got a clue what you're talking about.Because if they were properly paid, they'd be paying more in taxes.... don't you get it? I'll put in the simplest of terms... THE POOR DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. The fact that 90% of them only pay 9% of the taxes means... THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.
What would happen to the cost of living in NYC if everyone making below, say, $50K is given a raise to what you feel would be appropriate?
Oh... that's right... we're not allowed to talk about how much profit is acceptable..... only what workers make is appropriate conversation. It doesn't matter if Joe Schmoe and his wife can't even afford to bring a child into this world... It doesn't matter if they both have to work two jobs to raise a child either... but I know a person like you would be the first one on the phone to the cops when their unsupervised kid vandalized your house, and you'd be the first one on here complaining about scumbag parents and how they let their kids terrorize the streets.
But that's Ok... I know you're just a Conservative and can't think that far ahead.
Let me spell it out for you. If you give the working poor a raise, every business employing them will have to raise the price of their goods and services.
Who will that hit the hardest?
The working poor whom you're trying to help.
Ask the business owners you know how large their profit margins are. I guarantee it'll be less than you think.
