It's an emotional game for the left. Propose something asinine economically or intellectually that you can spin as cruel, or mean spirited then sit back and rake in the low IQ and overly emotional twerp votes. It's sad, but it works. Lot's of dumb, emotional fools out there fall for this crap then wonder why their poor.
At the very least... more money for employees means less profit margins...This may benefit employees temporarily, BUT the economy and businesses will just adjust by raising prices. The purchasing power of the employees in the end will be the same except you created a temporary instability in lot of small businesses.... businesses on edge will tip over and go under. The companies will always win in the end... they set the prices. Demand will always be demand and the price will always meet it.LOL So you are assuming that employees do nothing to make a business function and that companies employ workers purely out of the goodness of their hearts. When wages go up they run out of goodness and lay people off. What a bunch of hooey.
I didn't say it caused unemployment to go down. But all the naysayers were sure it would immediately increase unemployment. The opposite happened. So you tell me, what happened?
What would YOU liken his politics to?Wow, so you liken Obama to a communist? Honestly, the chicken little mentality is, if nothing else, tiring. Haters gotta hate...
How would increasing the minimum wage reduce unemployment?
Yeah i have no problem with dems blowing out republicans
Ah yes, conservative compassion. I am feeling it.
Not gonna happen, especially not on the gun issue.
If you think the executives are going to take the brunt of a minimum wage hike, you've been living on a different planet than I have.
Nonsense. We have the highest minimum wage in America here in WA, And since it went up, unemployment has decreased.
The right wing myth has been exposed.
Its the only really truly squeezable place.... it will likely come out of bonuses.
Dear there are all ready background checks. That support crumbles when tge true goal of your idea is told. But by all means, go run with it lol

No there aren't. There are many loopholes to exploit. Mentally ill teabagger jared lougher managed to get a gun with ease. If they did a simple background check a massacre would have been prevented.
Okay, that you try to smear the Tea Party by associating this lunatic as being part of, or in support of shows how dishonest a person you are. NO ONE should take you seriously moving forward. Seriously.
Are there ways we can improve the system? Certainly, but that improvement has to be measured and intelligent, you cannot infringe on my rights because some fool did something however tragic. Idiots kill more people with cars doing stupid things every day then lunatics do so with guns, but you don't care about that do you?
Not really.Apples to oranges comparison.
You predict that 28% of people earning minimum wage would lose their job
Deuce said:nobody can predict the impact.
Deuce said:Here's a news flash: we've raised the minimum wage before and that's now how it goes.

I don't understand why the minimum wage shouldn't rise. Prices have.
Consider that in the early 60s the minimum wage was set at 1 dollar, which had the purchasing power of 15 of today's dollars. So people are actually making less money now than 50 years ago.
The Real Minimum Wage Falls Every Year
