If you're working full time, at a job you don't make $15 an hour or more...

you need to get a new job, or more education.

If you're working full time at McDonalds, dont' expect me to support your family.

If the Dems push such a bill, they know it will never make it past the Republican Senate.

Unlike the GOP 60+ fake repeals of Obamacare all those years, though, the Dems are NOT pretending. If they ever get full power, they will actually carry through on their promise.

Long overdue

Pass the bill and make Republicans go on record for rejecting it

More robots and less jobs will be the ultimate impact.

A Red State Raises Its Workers' Minimum Wage to $15

In one of the most surprising legislative twists in state government this year, North Carolina became the first state to implement -- and the first red state to approve -- an increase in the minimum wage for state workers to $15 an hour, or $31,200 a year.


Deepening the intrigue, the state's Republican-controlled legislature achieved this practically-overnight minimum-wage hike with no formal testimony or hearings, and with little support from Democratic legislators or the state's Democratic governor...

Fine, as long as there is no more WELFARE given out. If people now have a livable wage, they dont need fucking welfare...

The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America's 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

Trump would likely sign it but It's a nonstarter without support from the Senate.

The federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour hasn’t increased since 2009 and is worth substantially less than the minimum wage was in the 1960s once adjusted for inflation, according to the Economic Policy Institute.


Ballot initiatives across the country to raise the minimum wage in states and cities have passed with broad public support. There hasn’t been a single loss on this issue since 1996, so some were not surprised to see the result in Arkansas. But what makes Arkansas stand out is that no other red state has gone this high.


Arizona was the only red state above $10 before this week’s election. Now Missouri and Arkansas are on their way to joining those ranks.

Conservative Arkansas could soon have the highest effective minimum wage in the country

That's not going to happen. Inflating wages above the market value of the labor will just result in inflation, and reduce the purchasing power of the $15/hr.

You can't fool Mother Economics.

It's scary how serious the Dems are when it comes to using the state to fuck us all over. When they threaten to do something, we should take their goose-stepping word for it.

They will try to confiscate all of our guns too. Believe them.


The dog-shit GOP can never be trusted to do jack shit. They love being the party in opposition because they can relax and fake-bitch about having no power. I fucking HATE that party!!!!

If you're unskilled and can't make more than minimum wage, you need roommates not a family.
It's called math.

Guess what $15 an HR ain't gonna save ya......not even close to living wage

This is from a site 5 years ago. It is outdated, but it shows how corporate America thinks you can live on minimum wage. It was jointly put together by Mc Donalds and Visa.

Minimum wage in the United States is mandated at $7.25 per hour, according to the Department of Labor. Taking into account a full-time schedule, deductions for federal tax, social security and Medicare, the take-home pay is even less than the sample budget at $1,038.40. This sample take-home pay does not take into account state income taxes, which make take-home pay even lower.​

First of all you need two jobs. Health insurance is $20 a month. Heating is zero. Food isn't included, but may be in the Monthly Spending Money: $27 a day for food, gas, cloths, etc.

Whether you work full or part time, you should only be paid what you and your efforts are worth to your employer. Government has absolutely no business making the determination - especially when it is the most inefficient organization of all.

That's a bet you just can't lose, boedie!
We're getting robotics at an exponential rate already, any min wage rise is not going to change that.
