Folks who think that increasing minimum wage will put more money into the community conveniently ignore the fact that it has to come from someone else. Or perhaps they find it a convenient palliative excuse to gloss over the fact that the real goal is "fairness"? If they take it from one and give it to another, so that eventually everyone controls the same resources, isn't that "fair"?"The simplest explanation is to say that the more money a community has, the more it spends, and the more jobs are created by that spending."
Jesus.
Fucking.
Christ.
Where do you suppose the money comes from that increases the wages from $7.25 to $12/hr?
The money fairy?
Or could it possibly be that the money comes from the owners' pockets, the customers' pockets, or from the lost wages of those whose hours are cut or are laid off?
Do you seriously believe that increasing wages increases the "money a community has"?
Seriously?
