Let me explain a few things to the knuckle dragger's.
1.A living wage IS NOT minimum wage, and it is paid by the employer, not the government. It is fair wage for any area or family size in America, and sets the lowest wage paid, not the highest. An employer can reward workers for more work.
A living wage gives a worker his living, and that after all is why we work. Other luxuries such as cars, etc. are above the living wage.
2.When you have a living wage workers can buy more from the market. That means more production. That means more workers being hired.
3.A living wage will reduce taxes. When workers come off social programs like unemployment and welfare, your taxes will go down on paying for social programs they were on, as the burden is spread around.
4.The new workers taxes will lower the amount of taxes you have to pay.
5.It is a myth to think that the cost of items will go up to cover living wages. Living wages are set according to the local area living expenses. With more items being sold, employers would have no reason to raise wages.
6.A living wage will stop two people working in a household, and let one worker spend a 40 hour work week for his employer, giving him more time with his family.
7.Crime will go down as more moms stay home, and society has less latch key children to deal with. ie. less drug use, pregnancy, break ins & crime as parents monitor children.
8.Teenagers will not be in the workforce, rather home studying, hence raising America out of the low intellectual levels children face today.
9.Households that chose to have both spouses working or one spouse holding down two or more jobs, will be penalized with higher taxes, perhaps 75% on the additional jobs. This is to cover the costs of an unemployed person they are keeping from working and increased problems for society. ie. crime children, pregnancies, etc.
10.Workers can start employment with the basics they need to do the job in their area, shelter, food, clothes, utilities.
