Why it's important not to pay a living wage:

. During a famine, does supply equal demand?.

yes dear it does but you have to have taken econ 101 to know what that means.

No, sweetie. Your simple little econ 101 model does not describe reality on the ground. Your made up "demand" entity is a mathematical construct signifying nothing.

Leave your elitist ivory tower and get into the real world.

dear, what don't you understand about supply and demand?
 
Here's a question: if a worker is not earning a "living wage" then how is he supposed to live? Just a simple question.

live at home, with room mates, with wife, etc etc. work 2 jobs etc etc

How much do you think MacDonald should pay per hour? How about nursing home CNAs? How much per hour?

We have a government of the People. The People have the right to set the minimum wage.

perhaps but then why not set all prices so we all are a lot richer??? isn't thinking fun?? THe middle class is hurting too and they have rights too!!!

What kind of government do you envision where the People would not have the power to elect representatives who will raise the minimum wage?
 
A fast-food manager was talking to his crew, six or seven people standing around him.

He said, "I have good news, and I have bad news.

"The good news is, the new Minimum Wage law says I have to pay you more.

"The bad news is, I can't afford that, so two of you are fired."

Leftists have no end of trouble remembering how inevitable this is.
 
Welfare should reward work -- the more hours you work, the more Welfare you get if you are in a qualifying "low income" line of work.
.

the problem is you don't work as hard and try to improve yourself when you get your wage subsidized by liberal govt
You can only improve yourself as much as the job market allows. It is demonstrated fact that middle class jobs are becoming more scarce. Some will be left behind from "improving themselves". It is inevitable.

A just society will ensure that those people still have decent living standards.

Welfare is the only system proven to achieve this end.

Those who wish to push the American Dream of achieving middle class or wealthy standards will still have to work to obtain those.

Most min wage workers are living in homes with other wage earners. This isnt rocket science. But somehow the Left thinks everyone is "entitled" to $30/hr for doing basically nothing.

So they're already doing what was recommended. And yet they still don't make enough money to get by. Their lifestyle even with roommates is still dependent on personal debt.
 
When a few men at the top take 70% of the pie and throw crumbs back at the workers. How is that fair? Why not make this kind of shit illegal in the first place and just give the workers what they earned.

No body earns more than they agreed to do a job for.

What did that worker tell you when you asked him? Nobody else can answer that question for him, obviously.

How does he intend to live after taking a job that doesn't pay a so-called "living wage"?

I understand that econ 101 demand is a mathematical construct ... and that actual demand which I was talking about is something completely different.

You realize that econ 101 describes simplified models so that a novice student can analyze them, right? You realize that the "demand" you learn about in econ 101 is a mathematical entity that describes nothing real on the ground like how many positions are actually available to be filled, right?

Take on more personal debt.

LOL! You couldn't define "demand" with a dictionary.
