Thatās a great point. So a full time job paying the current min wage of $7.25 comes to $15,000 a year. In which state does making $15,000 a year keep a person above the poverty line?It is not always about skills but location, lower wages are ok in places where the cost of living is lower yet California is not that place.What is wrong with not wanting businesses that pay low wages? The state has one of the highest cost factors to exist there. The state is number one in the nation with GDP.Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told CNN in an interview on Sunday that he and presumably other Democrats ādonāt want low-wageā small businesses as he advocated for increasing the minimum wage. āWe donāt want low-wage businesses,ā he said when asked if mom and pop shops should be forced to pay employees more. āI think most successful small businesses can pay a fair wage.ā
No beating around the bush there. The Rich and big-time Corporations only. F these local businesses who don't succeed by economies of scale. No open market of ideas. If you can't pay what I think you should, you should be erased.
The latest daily example of Leftist totalitarianism.
What is wrong with not wanting businesses that pay low wages?
Many people lack the skills and experience to get any but a low wage job.
Are they to be trapped on welfare their entire life?
The state is number one in the nation with GDP.
Number one in population.
Ah, you might be on to something. This is exactly why there should not be a $15 national min. wage. Different states have different economies and costs of living. Maybe you need to call your lunatic Democrats congressmen and give them a heads up. They donāt see to understand.
The minimum wage will always be considered poverty wages, won't matter if it's 15 or 60K a year, it's not designed to support a family. It's an entry level wage so a person can gain work experience and prove their own reliability.
