$15 minimum wage would destroy 1.4 Million jobs

Whining ToddsterPatriot and Blues Man, I no less than you support our nations domestic and foreign commerce. But I’m among those opposed to favoring immediate commercial gains that disfavor USA wage earners and their lower income families.

Quit hiding behind rhetoric. "Optimizing unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed" means a massive new welfare program.

It doesn't even mean that much. Most of what daniel says doesn't mean anything at all. It's just bad poetry.
In this case, he literally thinks you can expand UC to cover people who not only didn't hold a job but never intend to work at all, and it will function exactly like it does now. But it is true that most of what he says is a bunch of meaningless blargle.
 
You didn't say the minimum wage is "an improvement of our nation’s economic and social wellbeing"? That's funny.
Whining ToddsterPatriot, I have and continue to state every increase of our federal minimum wage rate has and I expect they will continue to better serve our nation’s economic and social wellbeing.

But you’re evading the point of your accusation. I doubt¸(as you allege I did) deliberately or even inadvertently misquoted a Congressional Budget Office report.

And you've yet to show where the CBO says that.

Whining ToddsterPatriot, if you found a post within which I falsely attributed a statement to a Congressional Budget Office’s report, post it for all of us to see. I doubt if I did so inadvertently, and I wouldn’t do so deliberately.

I suppose you’re too ashamed to recant your false accusation. You make it difficult for anyone to respect you.

Congressional Budget Office’s, (CBO‘s) published projections for the House’s proposed “Raise the Rate” bill describe an act that would be an improvement of our nation’s economic and social wellbeing.

Give a specific link where they said that.

Whining ToddsterPatriot, I stated my opinion. The statistics and analysis presented by Congressional Budget Office’s, (i.e. CBO’s) published report certainly contributed to my conclusions. If you were similarly influenced by CBO’s reports, your opinions would be much more amiable to the rate’s net benefit to our nation’s economic and social wellbeing.

Exactly.

And the CBO report does not support your opinion.
 
Because those keeping their job will outnumber those who lose their job

Fewer than 50% will lose their job?
This is you trying to come up with a positive?
You are the one making up that "statistic".

Real earnings for workers while they remained employed would increase by $64 billion,

Real earnings for workers while they were jobless would decrease by $20 billion,


How many employers can afford to fire half of their minimum wage staff and remain competitive? And, those who remain will be making more money, creating more demand, and generating more tax revenue to help with the multiplier.

What was the net reduction in real family earnings?
The short-term projection, since real earnings are increased by forty-four billion, was around nine billion. Unemployment compensation could easily mitigate that issue as well.

since real earnings are increased by forty-four billion,

real earnings are decreased by nine billion,
What you claim can only happen in the short term while markets are arbitraging to a new equilibrium where higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more in tax revenue.

Real earnings for workers while they remained employed would increase by $64 billion,

Real earnings for workers while they were jobless would decrease by $20 billion,

Higher paid labor and automation tend to increase the productive output of our economy which is a net benefit. Optimizing unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed can easily solve your right wing problem; but, the Poor may benefit under Capitalism without having to work overly hard for it.

Sorry, no bum payments for you.
Right wingers only have a problem when the Poor may benefit not the Rich?
 
Democrats don't like allowing businesses to keep more of the money they earn. You know that, and it would nullify some of the so-called benefit you keep touting of more taxes paid by workers. In essence, you're shifting the tax burden from business to labor. Is that what you intend? And you can't change UC the way you want to and not have it become welfare.
Not at all. It merely seems that way to right wingers who offer nothing but repeal instead of any better capital solutions at lower capital cost.
So why do you want to shift the tax burden from business onto the workers?
Sure, why not. Right wingers were complaining about the Poor not paying their share taxes in earlier threads.

Raise the minimum wage until the Poor pay their share of the tax burden!
And there it is, you'll throw anyone under the bus for your fantasy.
How is raising the minimum wage so they can better afford our first world economy, any form of "throwing anyone under the bus"? You are only Always Right, in right wing fantasy. Here, you only have a fallacy (of begging the question).
You seem to think that giving the poor more money will make them not poor. What will happen is that $15/hr will become the new poor and you as well as the other suspects will be out there again complaining that the poor have to pay so much in taxes, and the wheel will take another turn.
It is the difference between simply being Poor and official poverty where the public sector subsidizes the Rich with cheap labor.

Not at all. That is just you right wingers being two dimensional. Unemployment compensation can solve for simple poverty by actually solving for Capitalism's natural rate of unemployment. Means tested welfare only treats the symptoms, it doesn't cure anything.
