You know this issue (which is of course a class war propaganda push and buying votes and nothing more) can be argued simply with a dumb socialist left winger like this.
Ohhhhh, they are all soo for the minimum wage raise. Of course they are. Cause they just care sooo much about people making minimum wage cause uhhhhh, they think they should be able tooooooo what? Who knows. It is just another opportunity for the hypocrites on the left (whose bread has always been buttered and know nothing about life) to party on a bandwagon and chide down from their mythical hypocritical moral platitude.
So, back to debating a moron on the left about this propaganda issue.
Just get them to come to the conclusion themselves about the absurdity of their point of view. Just ask them if 15/hr is good, then why not 20/hr minimum wage? Ask them why shouldn't it be that. If they all think that it could be that and they see know problem with it being 20/hr then ask them if 20/hr is ok, then make it 30/hr. Why not? Why would that be bad? I mean the poor could possibly by a house of their own. Why not?
Get them to explain why 30/hr minimum wage just cannot work. Oh, I know, Absurd right? Try it. They will get there eventually. If you need to (and you might) make it as high as 50/hr. They may get there Kicking and screaming, but they will get there. Many will walk away from you in disgust and of course think of you as a heartless mean racist. Naturally.
They will giggle at this idea and see it as something that is just stupid. It isn't. I have tried this on liberals who insist that minimum wage ought to be raised over and over again. They all prove that my claims about them though. I mean isn't it obvious to everyone that they do not understand life? Especially, the ones that post here. Isn't it painfully obvious the level of ignorance we argue with?
