You haven't given me any solid numbers to convince me. All you've done is make a bunch of claims. And, just to confuse you further, the inflationary impact of doubling the MW overnight is but a small piece of the puzzle. Some 3% earn MW now. Almost half would be immediately impacted if you doubled it, and well over half would be secondarily impacted. Obviously, you haven't thought through what would happen to the job market if you did that.
social services cost around fourteen dollars an hour. there is absolutely no reason to subsidize Cheap labor in a First World, Capital economy.
How does that even relate?
States have State Boards of Equalization. If it were up to me, fifteen an hour would happen now, and Capitalists could get "equalized" on the fiscal end. An "earned income" credit type of program could help.
Where are the numbers to support your prescription? Here are some from me: 60+% of American workers earn $20/hr or less. If it were up to you, at least that many would either get a raise, demand one, or lose their job, many losing their job because it became too expensive. It's just human nature. I don't know anyone who would accept working their way up to $15-20/hr only to have you come along and in an instant have them making MW just a little more. Do you really think you can arbitrarily increase labor costs that much with no ill effect?
Do you think companies are just bottomless ATM's?
