Heck, if raising the min wage to a "living wage" (who gets to decide what is living or not?) then why not institute a "rich man's wage" so we can all be rich? Instead of a piddling $10/hr why not $50? Why not $500? After all, companies have all this money lying around they could be paying to people.
That is absolutely one of the stupidest ideas I have heard in a very long time. And this site comes up with some winners. It betrays a gross and total ignorance of how wages are set and the realities of business.
Corporations have 1 trillion laying around they could be paying people with a living wage.
When you are stupid yourself, you have no idea what stupid is, so stop trying to impress people here, as it comes across at ignorance. I can tell you have no concept of how living wage relates to business.
Really? I have a corporation and I hardly have $1T lying around. If I did, I'd be retired. Most people do not work for large corporations, especially those earning lower wages.
You're right: the only concept I have of living wage is something that would make it impossible to hire many workers. That is already my experience with min wage, where I would actually hire someone if I could set the wage rate. As it is I cannot afford to pay someone min wage to do work that will not pay me a sufficient return.
Like I said, you have no understanding business or wages or economics.
You don't usnderstand "plural, and the difference between "singular." So naturally, you don't have a trillion laying around. Sounds like you shouldn't be in business if you can't even afford minimum wage jobs. Maybe you should look into getting your workforce from a state reformatory for boys. The state pays half the wages, you select the boys by their skills, etc. Funny, for a guy like me with no business background, (according to you)who has no concept, I am giving you a way to go, even though I doubt you can make it in the business world.
