Hey cons: if your solution to the min wage issue is to tell those people...

[Billy000]

..."Go to school! Learn new skills, you lazy asses!"

...then who would replace them to work in the service industry? How could those industries survive if so many of the workers make minimum wage?

Keep in mind we are including state minimum wages here - not just the federal one. Right now anyone making a state minimum wage is living in poverty. Working up to 40 hours a week Is not enough for these people to live financially stable lives.

42% of American workers make less than $15 per hour. What is your solution to helping these people out of poverty?

You people are full of bitching but you have no real solutions.

 

[Asclepias]

this is going to be bad for you. As a fellow liberal its my duty to head them off at the pass. The answer is going to be the next wave of people entering the job market.

Unemployed teenagers. ....

The much bigger question is, well libs consider the consequences of an increased minimum wage when unemployment spikes for the young and inexperienced?

Hate to break it to you. Already in gear in Europe. Automation.

Whoopsies.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The republican solution is to end the minimum wage which will allow corporate America to pay pennies to our workers as they do in africa or asia. Don't think this couldn't happen here,,,believe me, these bastards would do it! That is why they bring in all the h1b's and outsource to shit holes. All along pay their ceo's 20, 50 and 100 billion bucks.

School? Learn new skills. Most poor people can't afford that without grants, loans and government help. Republicans want to get rid of that too. So you can't win if you're poor and needing to work your ass off for a corporate asshole.

Republicans suck ass.

 

[tinydancer]

You libs really need to get out of your zones. You have missed this battle in Europe. Automation baby. They've worked on it for years. Now implementing.

 

[Siete]

no worries, The Donald said he would raise min wage.

There should be a tax to do this called the guaranteed living wage tax. What this will do is pay everyone 1,000 to 1,500 bucks per month in order to survive. This would also end the need for food stamps, and other welfare but most importantly will make work no longer work or die.

So we kill two birds with one stone! I support automation in general as I don't believe work should be a do or die kind of thing and machines can do it far more efficiently! Just that we have to care about the humans when we're doing so.

Interesting as the slower thinkers dont seem to realize that industrial age thinking doesnt fit in the information age. They are still under the delusion that there is a job for everyone.

Until you understand the root of the problem, raising minimum wage is akin to putting a bandage on an infected wound with gangrene setting in. The problems in this country would not be hard to fix at all. The problem is that the ones that own USA.INC put the people that they want into places of influence that insures this debt slavery system stays in place. I could easily fix what ails this country. It would return allodial rights to property owners, end all taxation except for a sales tax on non-essential items and still have more than we would need to run this country. So you know that if I have it figured it, you know that the ones in charge do but that's not what is in the best interest of this vast corporate entity.

USA.INC is nothing but a "for profit" corporation that provides the 19 essential "gubermint" services and it is a "for profit" venture. America may be broke but USA.INC and it's composite "gubermints" take in more money per year with dividends than the entire GDP of the private sector. What they have done using retirement accounts to invest in Wall Street and foreign markets would make the mafia proud. USA.INC takes in 4 times more than they need to run this country and that includes a bloated military budget. They simply re-invest it and hid the wealth in the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Puerto Rico. It's the biggest game in town, folks....and we are just the little drones that keep turning the hamster wheel for them.

Crazy as it is I like it too. Living wage. Farmer flooded. Desperate straights. Those <fill in the blank> run over and save the farm. I would love it. Except the welfare assholes for the most part never move to help. Oh Matthew I will give you all my links to how all these slimeballs screw over good people in Britain.

This will only work if the poor doesn't take the opportunity given and multiply. With endless amount of poor people getting pregnant and creating more poor people who need help our country will sink.

I admittedly think slow initially. (most wise people do) but once i grasp the concept I am exponentially faster and able to form paradigms that would blow your mind.
