Because requiring companies to pay more leads to very high unemployment. The workers become parasites killing the host.
Raising the minimum wage when 50 million slaves are present just assures that more slaves go to work. You don’t realize that?
Except Blue states are contributors and Red States are takers...
Ok. So let me get this straight. Tariffs are BAD and we need them to go away? Correct?
But.. by reducing the labor force you are FORCING companies to pay more to attract people who can be lazy because there isnt a lot of workers to take their job. Same results you are saying you dont want. You are just doing the forcing in a different way, one way that I would add is more complex and ends up with less options available to the consumer.
Before the invasion of foreigners Mexifornia was red as fuck for decades…not so surprisingly it was at its best. Population drives GDP, politics creates the societal conditions…that’s why ALL blue cities are disgusting, dangerous, dependent, divided, diverse supershitholes….ALL of them.
If you really got rid of 50 million workers out of 170M workers you'd have no businesses. What are you really suggesting. I know it isnt getting rid of 50M of 170M workers. But what really are you looking to accomplish here?
Even though there is tons of evidence to show you how minimum wages increase unemployment you still cling to your fiction.
What tariffs? The only ones I know of are for China, which Biden also had.
So, California (a blue state), where they have the highest homelessness, highest welfare cases, damn high real estate prices and taxes, don't want better paying jobs?
I am simply asking how raising wages by tariffs is good policy (which we havent even discussed how that happens) but raising wages with a minimum wage is bad policy. Maybe you dont like higher wages at all and you just support the tariff thing without thinking it through because Donald proposed it? I am fine with that if that is the answer. It's inconsistent logic but if it is just a show of loyalty even though you arent bought into it, then so be it. I think it is damaging to the economy though.
Kind off topic my friend. California is expensive because 40M people want to live there in that small area. That leads to some problems and solves others. This is a thread on Conservative economic policy. I am confused how tariffs fit in.
Not sure if you are following the news but Trump put massive tariffs on almost every country and then suspended them for 90 days when the bond market melted down. He said his people got "yippie" about the markets. Then he started to spin a little on pausing saying suddenly people want to negotiate.
I see you can not read or understand what is written. So no use even trying to educate you.
All I am asking for you to do is be clear. Do you want no tariffs or do you want tariffs on goods? It is an easy question that will help me understand your point of view. You really did say Trump was getting rid of tariffs but then you said they work for other nations. Just be clear.
Damn son you really are unable to understand anything. Trying to explain anything to you is like trying to explain relativity to a two year old. Where did I even mention Trump? I never said they work or do not work for other nations, where are you getting this stuff? Maybe have someone read what I wrote and explain it to you. I believe someone with a high school education could do that.
Maybe so, but on target in reply to Cowboy. That small area? Isn't CA the third largest state? Of that "40M" people that want to live here, 20M are illegal, 10M are welfare recipients and 10M are just plain stupid because those that do live here can't wait to get out.
Raising wages through raising the minimum wage isn't only a bad policy. It is a horrible policy that proves how horrible it is every day. Raising wages by competition is the best way. Tariffs are one way of increasing competition. At one time we had no income tax. All the government money to run the place came from tariffs. Tariffs grew this economy as companies opened their enterprises here rather than pay tariffs.
DO you really not understand or are you just trolling. Be honest
He said the answer was having fewer immigrants. I asked, then why tariffs if the answer was fewer immigrants? Honest question.
