Usually when the minimum wage is raised, the amount increase is insignificant.
People today seem to have bigger houses and a lot more stuff than they had back in 1968.

And this makes it ok for the rich to take hundreds of times more then the avg worker? This makes the growing difference ok...Why shouldn't people have a large house, car and computer?
Why?

Dems have been trying to raise the minimum wage for many years, where the hell have you been?
Exactly, 'cuz ensuring the most vulnerable among us have no opportunity to work is a GOOD thing, right? I mean, fuck those young people with no experience! And those with low intelligence and little skill, they don't need to work. Screw those fuckers, who needs 'em! Even the senior citizen that just wants to engage in a work place...he should just stay home and die for heaven's sake. Plus, everyone wants higher prices too. As we know, when government mandates higher expenses, why that NEVER gets passed on to consumers. No, it's a good thing to ensure as many of our most vulnerable citizens are prevented from earning a living and forced on the dole. That's what's good for them...because certainly, the central planners know what's best for us all.
Thanks comrade, we couldn't get through the day without you.
Spare us the lesson in fantasy economics.
Not periodically raising the minimum wage to keep pace with inflation is the same as cutting it in small yearly increments. Every year away from a wage hike would therefore be better according to your theory.
Yes, they are Hobbesian halfwits.Half of the GOP congress critters will vote for it, gang.

Notice how you COMPLETELY avoided the real impact of minimum wage? I did. Tell us how the unemployment rate among the young and uneducated is a "fantasy". Explain to us how you expect those that do not qualify for your minimum wage to earn a living.
The floor is yours comrade.

No, eliminating the cause of inflation, the Federal Reserve, would be better. But you go ahead and keep supporting those central planners that control the price of money and cause that inflation...and then look to those same central planners to fix the problem.
Brilliant plan comrade.
How about you let a person work for what they're willing to work for? Why, you might even find someone willing to work for free. That's called an internship, which many have found incredibly valuable in gaining real experience and connections despite earning little to no income.
Sorry to break it to you comrade, but you DON'T know what best for others.

It's almost like you will personally have to hand some poor sap more money. Wage parity with China is a disastrous goal you foolish person.

An internship would be a great way to learn how to be a plumber.

You're still avoiding the question. Telling. One more time: Tell us how the unemployment rate among the young and uneducated is a "fantasy". Explain to us how you expect those that do not qualify for your minimum wage to earn a living.

Excuse me? Any wage increase that will actually pass will only get us back to an adjusted wage of sometime in the last decade at best.
If these people of whom you speak were worth it in say, 2003, why would they not be worth it today?
You need to understand that minimum wage was never meant to be what someone makes over the long term but with so many good jobs having been replaced with crappy service sector jobs there just is no wage increase for a lot of Americans unless someone makes McDonald's or Walmart do it, keeping the wage unchanged is a slow death spiral for the working class who are increasingly having to hold these formerly entry level jobs for years because of lack of opportunity.

You're still not address the question...the problem created by a minimum wage. Now why is that?
If these people of whom you speak were worth it in say, 2003, why would they not be worth it today?
What their skills bear in a voluntary market. Stated differently, whatever they're willing to work for that someone is willing to pay. Next.

Again, still not addressing the point. One last shot at it: Tell us how the unemployment rate among the young and uneducated is a "fantasy". Explain to us how you expect those that do not qualify for your minimum wage to earn a living.
