Minimum Wage Increase: They Never Talks About the SALES

[KissMy]

Inflation is caused by borrowing & printing money to support underpaid workers. Raising Minimum Wage Has NEVER Caused Inflation!!!

A higher minimum wage creates new customers by boosting demand, productivity, living standards, and also lowers some costs for employers by, for example, reducing turnover. Furthermore, such wage hikes are particularly beneficial to working women and dependents by cutting the costs that low-road employers impose on government deficits & taxpayers.

 

[Skull Pilot]

They pay the waitstaff like that because the waitstaff earn tips. Next.

Right, the customers pay them. The owners don't pay them shit. They pay them an absurd $2.50-$3.00 an hour. So why are so many of them going out of business? I'll let you figure it out for yourself.

That's easy. They're going out of business because it's incredibly hard to run a successful restaurant. They typically make about a 3% profit, if they're profitable at all, and many don't see a profit for years. Now you want to slap them with a massive increase in labor costs and don't expect anything to change. Dumb.

Boo Hoo for them. Pay a worker $2.50-$3.00 an hour, and still go under? That's no one's fault but the business owner's. The workers aren't to blame. And personally, i think it's deplorable paying anyone $2.50-$3.00 an hour. I don't care if they get tips. No American should be treated that way.

It goes back to my original point, no business goes under because of paying workers Minimum Wage. They go under because they're poorly run. The business fails because the owner fails. Period, end of story.

Excuse me but a good waiter or bartender will be taking a pay cut if the MW goes to 15 an hour.
Why do you want to force people to work for less than they are now?

Says you. It's no fun making $2.50-$3.00 an hour on a slow night. But of course greedy hateful people like you don't give a shit. In my opinion, they should make Minimum Wage plus their tips. If a restaurant or bar can't handle that, than Boo Hoo for them. Time to close up shop.

You have obviously never tended bar or waited tables.

Even on slower nights you do OK and it is offset by the busy times where you can pull in upwards of 25 an hour.

But you don't ever want to have to work nights weekends or holidays so you have to whine for a MW of 15 an hour

In other words, the government can set a wage and the economy will follow? You've never owned a business have you? You stupid libtards can't think and believe you have all the answers.

The fact is government fucks up everything it touches and has NO clue what goods or services are worth to consumers. The only ones that know are those in the trenches. And that does not include the fat cats, Democrat and Republican that know who's cock to milk to get government back slapping.

Yes, dumb liberals want to raise wages until every American job goes to China and India. They lack the IQ to face reality so they simply pretend they can raise wages, at the point of a gun no less, and there will be no repercussions and everyone will live happily ever after.

They'll live happier than with the alternative you dumb hateful white Republican dudes are proposing. Which is, continue paying them like shit, Outsource their jobs whenever possible, and replace them with more Illegals for slave labor. Yeah, you guys have been real kind to American Workers. Real Saints.

You greedy fat asses aren't lookin out for fellow Americans. And the Workers know that. They're catching on. They're telling you hateful white Republican dudes to go fuck yourselves. And i say... RIGHT ON! Now they're gettin it.

I hate to tell you this, but you're just not going to succeed. They'll still be rich and you'll still be frustrated.

No one's saying they won't still be rich. But like i said, workers will be happier than with the pitiful alternative you greedy white Republican folks are offering em. Let's see... Pay em like shit, Outsource their job whenever possible, and replace them with Illegals for slave labor? Yeah, doesn't sound very appealing. I think most are gonna go with a higher Minimum Wage. Can't blame em.

Of course their greed will guide their actions. Here's reality, though. Make American labor too expensive and other countries are glad to provide workers for a fraction of the cost. And, when no one is running a business, where are the MW workers going to work?

Your alternative is much worse. And American Workers are beginning to understand that. You guys are very hostile and hateful towards struggling workers. It is what it is.

It's so bizarre so many greedy white Republican dudes actually consider themselves 'Good Christians.' The reality is, they know absolutely nothing about Jesus Christ's teachings. Jesus would be ashamed of how they treat their fellow human beings. They're far from being 'Good Christians.' They're actually doing the Devil's work.

But on the bright side, greedy hateful white Republican dude numbers are rapidly decreasing. They're going extinct. They're becoming less & less relevant by the day. Once they're gone, the country will be a better more just place. So just be patient and give it some time. Their day is quickly coming to an end. There is hope.

Detroit was the richest city in America at one time, it was touted as the Democrat model city of the future by LBJ. The south was always poor and now is getting the majority of the manufacturing jobs. So you tell me who is right and who is wrong?

Btw we are not going any where, I was a liberal when I was young.

Ha, the South is getting all the shitty jobs. They're just too dumb to realize it. They're actually proud of being shit on. There's a reason why greedy white Republican assholes are moving their businesses there. They know most in the South are dumb enough to accept being abused slaves. Rednecks aren't all that bright. I mean, they wear camo from head to toe and fuck their sisters. What do they know?

Inflation is caused by borrowing & printing money to support underpaid workers. Raising Minimum Wage Has NEVER Caused Inflation!!!

A higher minimum wage creates new customers by boosting demand, productivity, living standards, and also lowers some costs for employers by, for example, reducing turnover. Furthermore, such wage hikes are particularly beneficial to working women and dependents by cutting the costs that low-road employers impose on government deficits & taxpayers.

The drop in unemployment at the state level, isn't statistically significant. First, if the state raises the minimum wage by a whooping 5¢, that's not going to have any effect, negative or positive. Second, the economy as a whole, has a boom or bust cycle to it. No ship captain would claim that as his ship is riding up to the top of his wave, that it was policies that caused the ship to rise.

When you look at the Federal Minimum wage, compared to national unemployment rates, there is a correlation.

Moreover, of the five reports you listed, I've read two, and they actually don't support the claims you think they do.

The first two, make several key flaws. Some are honest enough to admit it. For example Katz and Krueger 1992, for example admitted that stores fired part time employees, in favor of full time employees.

This meshes with my own experience, where after the minimum wage went up, they laid off 3 part time employees, and hired a single full time employee.

But the biggest flaw with both the Katz and Krueger, and the Card and Krueger, was that they simply ignored stores that closed.

When they measured employment, the compared each individual store, to itself some months later. So they ask store A how many people they have hired in June 1990, and then the same store A in 1991. Then compare the numbers.

The problem is, what if the store closed? The store is no longer in business, what then? Well they just ignored that. At least in Card and Krueger 1992, they actually measured store closers. Shockingly, the number of stores that closed in New Jersey with the higher minimum wage, was literally double that of Pennsylvania with the lower minimum wage. Coincidence? I doubt it.

Additionally, Katz and Krueger also admitted they found a drop in the number of NEW stores being opened after the minimum wage hike. But of course they made no attempt to quantify that. Every new store that is not opened, means 20 fewer jobs for people who need them.

Lastly, and the most important of all.... all the research that I have looked up, concentrates on corporate chain stores. This is the most ironic aspect to me.

Think about it logically.... We have a small mom&pop pizza shop here in town called Liugi's Pizza.
Luigi s Pizza Hilliard OH - Hilliard s original pizza place
Family owned and operated since the 1950s.

Now, between this small mom&pop shop, and the big mega chains... which do you think would be affected by the minimum wage more? Which do you think will have a harder time affording the cost of higher labor prices?

To most logical intelligent people, the obvious answer is, the mom&pop shop will have the harder time. And yet, it's exactly these people that will have the more difficult time, that are excluded from all of the research you just cited.

Now the last research you posted I have not read, and I will eventually. But the two in the middle, comparing counties... I am skeptical that this has any relevance. Counties with higher cost of living, are generally already paying a higher wage. Raising the minimum wage, in a location where people are already paid above the average, obviously won't have a negative effect.

The key places that the minimum wage will have negative effects, is in places where prices and wages are low, and are forced up above the natural economic level. When everyone in the county is already earning $10/hr because the cost of living is already high, then raising the minimum wage to $9.75, isn't a big deal.

Now what is interesting, is that you post these 5 reports, as if that's all the evidence there is. There are in fact dozens of papers and research on the minimum wage, and most do not come to the conclusions these do.

Labour Market Outcomes and Skills Acquisition of High-School Dropouts
Although the paper is focused on high school dropouts, the research found a link between higher minimum wage laws, and fewer opportunities for apprenticeship, and entry-level jobs that drop outs desperately need to acquire marketable skills.

These are just 5 of dozens I could list, that show clear causal effects of Minimum wage, on low income employment.
