More left wing ignorance:
I've been told that if we paid fast food workers $15/hour, they would do a better job, or if we paid them that much, then good smart people would be willing to work there.
The thing that liberals cannot understand is that it is the MINIMUM WAGE and that the ignorant and lazy are working those jobs because they cannot hold down a job elsewhere. The stupid aren't going to suddenly become smart, and the lazy aren't going to suddenly get motivated. If they get fired, they go make $15/hour some place else, because its the MINIMUM WAGE.
Not to mention the even more complicated economics of that ill-advised decision: if you raise the minimum wage, then all salaries go up and the MW workers are right back where they started. Someone here said it best: it's like cutting off the pig's tail, glueing it to his nose and saying he's longer.
I know this thread is an irony built on a fallacy in its own title, but can you at least figure out whether you're talking about "leftists" or "liberals"?
It just makes it hard to follow the fallacy when you can't tell who the blanket generalization is supposed to be covering. TIA.
I think it should be obvious even to theist thick headed, who I'm talking about but if you truly can't tell, I'm using "liberal, lefty, leftist, and progressive" interchangeably.
If anyone wants to get petty, I understand that a Classical Liberal is much different. If you really want to get technical here, well piss off.
