While the country is focused on Healthcare and Collusion, sneaky GOP cuts minimum wage

[deanrd]

Republicans in several states are lowering the minimum wage — yes, you read that right

While journalists and political junkies are focused on the latest implosion of the GOP effort to repeal Obamacare and gut Medicaid, conservatives in several states have been working to decrease the minimum wage that businesses can pay to their workers.

In Missouri, Republicans just passed a law overturning a local measure passed by the city of St. Louis that had raised the minimum wage to $10 per hour.

The Republicans' hypocrisy on minimum wage

Say a mother of two is making 8 bucks an hour. That's around $1280 a month. Say she's single because her husband died and left her without any money. And out of that $1280 is rent and clothes and healthcare.

According to food stamp rules, she would get her income times .3 which would be subtracted from $511 which would come out to less than $130 a month.

There is one problem with that amount. Republicans think it is way too much.

Yea, the heartless bastards think that's way too much. That's today's GOP. They kneel at the alter of the Church of the Heartless Bastard. Far removed from Christ.

Right wingers vote them into office because they believe their lives aren't miserable enough.

And now, they think Putin, of all the evil people in the world, is a "great" leader. Because people in Russia are so happy.

Russia is a mess — the poverty rate is soaring and only 10 of 85 regions are financially stable

What else are they up to?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

What else are they up to?

Same as they're always up to - screwing over people and putting money in their own pockets and the pockets of their 1% buddies.

Same as they're always up to - screwing over people and putting money in their own pockets and the pockets of their 1% buddies.

lowering minimum wage is a good thing so people who work at those jobs can earn more money. Seattle just proved , once again, that raising it to $15 actually lowered hours and thus lowered wages.

Reality is always a cold slap in the face for liberals who are typically brainless yet they persist in commenting on subjects they cant possibly understand..

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Do feel free to start your own business and pay your employees that much without raising your prices significantly to cover that added expense for another ten or more employees every month.

Let us know how that works out for you.

So because Seattle passed a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage law, they should be cut in a dozen other states where they were making 10 dollars an hour? Could you explain how that makes sense.

I suggest everyone get back in school and learn some kind of trade. I also suggest it's one a robot will unlikely be able to do. The truth is although it's hard if not impossible to make it on such a low minimum wage, if workers push for too high of an increase, technology will take their job altogether. This is coming regardless folks so better get educated and get with the program.

How about the whole concept of an "entry level" job being entry level, and not something designed to raise a family on, or even be something you can support yourself on.

The idea is to work up the ladder, not hang on the bottom rung and wonder why its so hard to be hanging there.
