What kind of jobs did you have in mind? Our corporate leaders have found that third world slaves can perform the tasks that unskilled Americans used to. And not everyone is capable of performing knowledge work.

Yes - the link to the Brookings analysis pointed out that those who make slightly more than minimum wage have their wages boosted, too, when the minimum wage goes up.Minimum wage is intended for children NOT the working class.And the conservatives total distaste for raising the minimum wage doesn't hurt the working class?
They love to claim that raising the minimum wage causes inflation and spikes the unemployment rate.
Yet, that has never happened.
Below are links to, historical unemployment rates, CPI rates and the dates when the minimum wage was raised. Go ahead prove me wrong, there has never been a spike in unepmoyment or inflation when the minimum wage was raised. And also prove to me that raising the minimum wage, doesn't have a ripple effect for higher wages/incomes for the middle class workers.

The “Ripple Effect” of a Minimum Wage Increase on American Workers | Brookings Institution
Reading this proves my points. It raises many people wages x so there is no increase relative to others, so the min wage is a feel good measure that you get a temp bump out of
But it kills peoe who made a little more, because now they will make min wage or they may get a small.bump, but then prices go up to compensate for wage increases.
So the long term effect is higher prices, which isnt bad domestically, but makes it harder to compete in the global economy thus necessiting tarriffs.
The federal minimum wage has DECREASED since the Reagan administration in inflation adjusted dollars. Yet, productivity per employee has skyrocketed. Low income workers are losing out in America. This is an important issue of justice - and of politics, as this round of elections pointed out.
Having low income workers earn a living wage means we don't support them with our tax dollars. And, their increased buying power is an economic stimulus.
If you think minimum wage increases are a noticeable inflationary pressure then you need to find a cite that takes all these factors into account.

Ok kiwi, if that doesnt happen, then why not raise it to 100 dollars per hour?
Because the estimates are based on cost of living indexes and the like, and are modest estimates at that, and arne't just some number pulled out of somebody's ass, like most libertoon and right wing ideology is, and yours is.
Reagan started the practice of global capitalism unfettered by regulation. The dems accepted it under Slick to win back the WH. And people aren't gonna pay an extra hundred bucks to have some guy in Ohio stich his Nikes.The Left Killed the Working Class - Social Matter
...........................American progressives have a certain ideal aesthetic for work. It doesn’t involve the working class, whom they loathe and consider to be deficient. They hate working class life patterns, they hate working class workplaces, they hate dirty factories, and basically anyone who doesn’t work in the realm of ideas and spreadsheets. Those industries they pretend are either outmoded or morally deficient, and push them into foreign countries.
Bourgeois Americans tend to be relatively happy with this state of affairs. Fewer factories mean for cleaner air, fewer strange smells, and a society that has largely pushed those social roles onto foreigners whom they never see. They never have to fear their children winding up working in factories, because all those jobs belong to foreigners now. They instead push their children, even the stupid ones, into college in the hopes of winning white collar jobs in business or the bureaucracy.
But dirty jobs still need to be done. The left has long since abandoned the pretense of being the friend of the working class, whom they have transformed into a handout-class of dependents, deprived of pride, honor, family, culture, and independent livelihoods. The promise of labor legislation was that it would lead to better quality of life for the working class. Instead it has lead to lumpen-prolification, and a further spiritual diminishment, even as the physical infrastructure in the country becomes more hideous, useless, and inefficient over time.
Hand-workers and technicians are not somehow worse than white collar workers. Many of them are capable of earning large salaries, because their productivity is worth quite a lot to their employers. What most people tend to think of as the ‘progress’ of the 20th century has often really been an enormous regression, redefined into goodness.
People on the right should not shrug their shoulders at the needs of the lower orders of people for meaningful, productive work. Knowing that they can’t be made into high-end ‘knowledge workers’ by education alone (because intelligence has biological roots), we ought to aim to roll back bureaucratized nature-worship and throw away the fossilized legislation of the New Deal both — without turning the country into an industrial sewer in the process.

Actually Carter was the first to offer Red China Favored Nation status, and it wouldn't cost 'another hundred bucks' to make Nikes in Ohio. That's as ridiculous as the idiots babbling about '$10 hamburgers!' and other butt stupid narratives.

Hopefully Trump will keep his promise to reverse this.
He will need McConnell's and Ryan's cooperation to do so. And they are not inclined to do anything to help the working class.

Yes, right wing tripe is just as idiotic as left wing tripe. The minimum wage started decreasing in real terms, and drastically, under Nixon and Ford. Oil crisis, global food shortages, mainly oil crisis.
Carter was part of the trilateral commission. The basic idea was to rate economies in levels of unskilled jobs. While imo that was a flawed notion, Carter was still about managing captialsim.Reagan started the practice of global capitalism unfettered by regulation. The dems accepted it under Slick to win back the WH. And people aren't gonna pay an extra hundred bucks to have some guy in Ohio stich his Nikes.The Left Killed the Working Class - Social Matter

Thats not the issue. I dont give a fuck what think tank study comes up with it.
Do businesses pass increased costs to customers?
Do people making near min wage, keep their ratio above min wage?
Does it make our products more or less competitive in the global market?
Why do we have to keep raising it?

See this is the same mistake you guys make on tax cuts.
Zero is zero, now if you were smart you could have said 1 dollar per hour, even a penny per hour, but you're an idiot and chose zero.
But you're right, raise the min wage 100 dollars per hour
Prices stay the same, everyone wins!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm, no doubt the new Soylent Green Line at McDonald's will be very profitable, but does it point towards a society worth being alive in? Twisting Western Civilisation to generate maximum GNP and maximum profit in the interest of a uniformy sociopath .001% rent-seeking elite sounds to be about as attractive as living in Oceania.
BTW, I admit I am partial to Southern Agrarianism as a model for a good land.

Who the fuck wants to live their life earning the minimum wage dumb ass. You idiots think bumping the minimum wage up a few bucks is a solution, pathetic. How about generating jobs that pay triple the minimum wage so people can have a decent life. God but liberals are dumb as a brick.
Point of that article is that all the expensive job training in the world will not raise the productivity of an 85 IQ individual to $22/hr. Biology is destiny in that regard. Far better to retain low wage factory work in America and allow these people the self-respect of paying their own way than to herd them into welfare ghettos. BTW, it would help the general society also if the neoconning progressive pattern of easy divorce for the masses were reversed to about 1940.

this is what is hilarious about faux 'progressives' and Hillarycrats; their Party is as deep or deeper in the pockets of Wall street and the 'globalist' labor racketeers than the GOP is, yet they run around parroting whatever idiotic 'talking point of the day' they're fed, all the while trying to claim the other Party's voters are 'low information types'. Free college! Open borders for everybody! Free medical, free food free electricity! Come on in!
Meanwhile an entire network of free clinics went bankrupt in the 1980's, I watched them close down under the strain of the criminal illegal immigration even that far back, and food banks are facing critical shortages all over the country, as are county hospitals and every other social service, private or Fed, because of these idiot vermin.

Yet, that has never happened.
Below are links to, historical unemployment rates, CPI rates and the dates when the minimum wage was raised. Go ahead prove me wrong, there has never been a spike in unepmoyment or inflation when the minimum wage was raised. And also prove to me that raising the minimum wage, doesn't have a ripple effect for higher wages/incomes for the middle class workers.

Ok kiwi, if that doesnt happen, then why not raise it to 100 dollars per hour?
Because the estimates are based on cost of living indexes and the like, and are modest estimates at that, and arne't just some number pulled out of somebody's ass, like most libertoon and right wing ideology is, and yours is.
Thats not the issue. I dont give a fuck what think tank study comes up with it.
Do businesses pass increased costs to customers?
Do people making near min wage, keep their ratio above min wage?
Does it make our products more or less competitive in the global market?
Why do we have to keep raising it?
lol yes, you don't know enough to discuss it. I knew that already.
Why not just pay people nothing at all? The economy would really boom then, and profits would soar!!!! .....
See this is the same mistake you guys make on tax cuts.
Zero is zero, now if you were smart you could have said 1 dollar per hour, even a penny per hour, but you're an idiot and chose zero.
But you're right, raise the min wage 100 dollars per hour
Prices stay the same, everyone wins!!!!!!!
The "why not $100" argument is stupid, because there are real reasons to make sure that those who are working are in fact able to pay their bills. And, there is NO reason to suggest that everybody should be paid such that they get rich.
