House Democrats plan to push for $15 federal minimum wage
If you work full-time, you should be able to support your family. its called the American dream!
What is it called when government kills small businesses and eliminates jobs? That's called the leftist dream.
If Obamacare and other unreasonable regulations hadn't killed small businesses, people would make a decent living and get raises each year. You aren't supposed to support a family on a minimum wage beginner job. Thanks to the left, those little jobs are all that's left. And most of them don't offer full-time positions because that would make every employee a huge liability. The left's policies are very unfriendly to small businesses.
They even limited the loans for small business start-ups.
The left wants only crappy jobs available so people will still need to be subsidized. And this idea of raising the minimum to make things better just doesn't work the way they promise. Instead, more will lose their jobs and the available jobs will all be part-time.
Even in places that raised the minimum wage, people are finding that with less hours, they end up with smaller paychecks. That is exactly what the left wants to happen because the more desperate people become, the more attractive socialism looks.
If the leftists in this country get their way, we will all be equally miserable someday. They are taking out the rungs of the ladder that people need to realize the American dream.
We have so many little jobs taken by uneducated, non-English speaking illegal aliens and too many Americans have the mindset that they are entitled to government handouts so they aren't doing much to improve their situation.
Many who had decent jobs ended up with minimum wage jobs because that was all they could find during the Obama years.
Jobs have come back and the economy is better, thanks to Trump. Companies will pay employees who have qualifications and are dependable. Always been that way when we had the smaller businesses. Illegals have driven down a lot of wages over the years. Everything from construction to meat packing plants used to pay quite well but once illegals were willing to do the work for cheap, it eliminated the opportunities for citizens.
What good is raising the minimum when it means jobs will decrease and we still have illegals pouring in through the borders?
