[billyerock1991]

repupublicans want to take from the workers what the worker should make for their hard work .. no liberal expects something for nothing ... republicans think just because they own a business that they can take all the profet and not share it for their hard work ... what they are finding out is losers like you bite into their they are entitled to have someting for nothing rant ...a fair wage is all they ask for ...its moron like you who doesn't get it ... its morons like you who fight against their own best interest...

LMAO that's a liberal classic right there ^^^

LMAO
and don't you foreget it ... if we workers refused to do the work assholes like you won't make a dime ... if you feel taking all the credit for their company with the idea that all the money is yours, then your company can be brought to ITS KNEES ... if the OWNER feel that they are the important ones without their workers, they are nothing more the loud mout repub-lie-tard....

 

[ninja007]

to the O.P.- you DO KNOW that higher minimum wage means higher prices, right? And also employers laying people off, right?

People like you are the problem. You seem to think that you getting a job from a business owner to do a simple task is the first step in building a business. By the time we are ready to hire someone like you all of the work has been done, the investment has been made, the definition of the job we need you to do has been set, the product we are making is already profitable to even consider hiring you.

The fact you are an employee instantly removes you from any claims to the profit's, you are now a liability the company must make sure can pay for your own hourly wage doing your job along with a profit margine.

There's a reason you exist as an employee. You didn't have the motivation to start your own company. If you did you would be competition not the person I pay wages to in order to get a specific task completed.

Without the owner taking the risk of being self employed you wouldn't have a job. Both of you would be in the unemployment line.

No dishwasher has ever started a new eatery with the goal of making dishwasher wages. If that were the case nobody would risk starting their own business. You get paid what you deserve plus a little for me. Get over it. If you want more start your own business and then we can compete for customers. Until then STFU and do your job and be happy I pay you to do it.

States with higher minimum wage gain more jobs

Many business groups argue that raising the minimum wage discourages job growth by increasing the cost of hiring. A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year lent some support for that view. It found that a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour, as President Obama supports, could cost 500,000 jobs nationwide.

But the state-by-state hiring data, released Friday by the Labor Department, provides ammunition to those who disagree. Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.

People will work if you pay them more. More money means bills are paid, less debt, and more put back into the economy.

Those same assholes were saying yesterday that reduced taxes don't increase spending...I guess only free shit and EBT cards increase spending. Who knew?

They do. Your money spends better than there's silly. Everyone knows that

Brought to its knees by who, a bunch of gutless cowards without the stones to start their own business? LOL Good luck with that losers.

oh yeah.. more overseas jobs too. Not only that but whats the incentive for someone to improve themselves. Libs always talk about fairness but how is it fair that a big 3 employee is making the same as a burger flipper? (If the libs had their way this would happen).

States with the highest unemployment are mostly liberal.

They already had their way with Obamacare which expects highly trained healthcare workers and doctors (and other related industries) to work for shit so that liberals can give away cheap/free healthcare to buy votes.

Irrational is the word that best describes liberals. Incredibly liberals think people will just stand there and take it while liberals shit on them, instead people are giving liberals the finger. Corporations are giving liberals the finger and relocating to other countries vs letting liberals crap on them with high corporate taxes. Companies are giving liberals the finger and moving jobs off-shore vs letting liberals crap on them with insane regulations. Its hilarious to watch liberals freak out when people don't just stand there and take it and it blows up in their face.

don't forget- no one is forcing a lib to work anywhere. Libs always have their hands in other people's wallets. The Constitutions basic principles are garnered towards equal opportunity for all. Libs replace opportunity with outcome.

These dumb asses are told to think they are entitled to part ownership of a business just because they are an employee or even more incredible a customer. They are told what to think and they obey like the mindless drones they are.

[QUOTE="Clementine, post: 9837564,
To just arbitrarily increase wages will hurt in states where the economy is still stagnant. The small businesses will disappear, along with the jobs. Prices will increase if the minimum wage is imposed and that means everyone pays more at the grocery store and everywhere else. The increased cost of living will gobble up the increase in income and then some. People will be worse off than before and more will be unemployed.
Liberals do this shit under the guise of helping the little guy. Are you guys really that ignorant or do you know that it will hurt more in the long run and take us a step close to having socialism imposed on us? I am guessing the latter since that is the endgame for the left.[/QUOTE]


Republicans/rightwingers just throw their emotional crap out without empirical evidence that what they're saying has a shred of truth.
So Clementine, when you say:
"To just arbitrarily increase wages will hurt in states where the economy is still stagnant. The small businesses will disappear, along with the jobs. Prices will increase if the minimum wage is imposed and that means everyone pays more at the grocery store and everywhere else. The increased cost of living will gobble up the increase in income and then some. People will be worse off than before and more will be unemployed."
do you have empirical evidence to back up your smoke blowin'? Below are the real life examples that I posted earlier on this thread - do you have any real life examples, if ya got 'em, show 'em, otherwise I'll just presume you're just another in a long line of rightwing/Republican twits who just make stuff up to fit their dupidness.


Ask This State Whether A Higher Minimum Wage Kills Jobs

by Bryce Covert
May 16, 2014

There’s more real life evidence that a higher minimum wage may not be harmful for job creation.
In their new analysis of small businesses and job growth, Paychex and IHS report that Washington, the state with the highest minimum wage, topped the list for the biggest increase in small business employment, with jobs growing by 2.22 percent over the last year. The state’s minimum wage is currently $9.32, the highest in current law, although a handful of others have passed increases that will bring theirs higher.

<snip>

When it comes to cities, the story is the same. San Francisco, which has the highest big city minimum wage at $10.74, was the city with the greatest growth in small business employment. Seattle, which currently follows Washington’s minimum wage, came in a close second.

<snip>

And while the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents small businesses, vocally opposes increasing the minimum wage, its members actually ranked minimum wage issues at number 52 out of 75 total, while nearly 30 percent said it wasn’t even a problem.

just what we need, more minimum wage jobs. so these people will now be on obamacare and receiving foodstamps? we need real jobs, not burger flippers

So you're in favor of universal healthcare too? Glad we're on the same page.

The French Aristocracy also thought anyone pointing out their dependance upon the lower classes was hilarious [or seditious]. No doubt the gilded halls rang with great guffaws of laughter just before the Bastille was stormed..and heads began to fall...

Apparently you can't read. Plus you have it ass backwards, the poor live off the rich and don't even contribute to federal income taxes. Liberals hurt the economy then complain that the economy isn't sustaining the poor. It's senseless.

The poor live off the rich eh? I'd like to see some fat cat with manicured hands and ivory-handled golf clubs butcher a chicken, gut it and roast it up for himself. Or chop a cord of wood to warm himself over the Winter. Or mine several bushels of coal to burn....

The rich are leeches on the poor. Time is money. Labor is money. And in that respect, the "poor" are the wealthiest of all. The only thing that perpetuates the misconception that it is the opposite of that is through sheer luck and/or cunning manipulation and ruthlessness, the rich find themselves nestled in their false-utopian world. And from that shakey-loft they like to amuse themselves with the narcissistic thought that "others depend on them for their very survival."

You gotta appreciate that level of irony when it presents itself.

Ayup making burger flipping at a fast food joint a job that pays enough to raise a family is ridiculous. Those are jobs teenagers with no experience used to do. Is that what bread winners have been reduced to? Begging for a raise from government so they can bag groceries for a living? My two teen age children all make 50% more than minimum wage and they are in school. WTF why do adults suck so bad they can't do as well as children?

again everyone complains when their milk goes up, their gas goes higher,Healthcare going up, but as soon as you demand to be paid more, OH HELL no you have to earn it motherfuckers.

I am simply going to ignore people who's argument is...well yours...

Again, wages won't go up until the economy improves. Bitching about it and blaming the employer won't help.
