the 15 dollar minimum wage will hurt more people than it will help. The fact that they need to keep raising the minimum wage is evidence that there is failure somewhere in government policy, the price of a coke was 5¢ for so long it used to be impressed on the bottle. Now prices are more volatile. Minimum wage is bad for normal Americans and it’s really just a bandaid to cover up leftist malfeasance and right wing cowardice on central banking.
ordinary Americans were not harmed by the SALT increases. Home values, again due to leftists prioritizing habitat salamanders over habitat for humans as well as making regulation so high that home building is expensive, are so high in most blue cities that people cannot afford a house unless they’re in mid 6 figure range.
social security is an insolvent system that robs retirees out of millions they could’ve made with self investment, if it was so great then why did the public employee and railroad unions lobby for exemptions to social security? people wouldn’t join Medicaid even when they were mandated to and qualified which put millions of working Americans out of work and resulted in massive job offshoring, pushing the alleged evils on the third world while doing little to materially improve the environment.
Because all of these measures hurt more Americans then they helped. Nearly all of them benefitted a certain slice of the liberal Burgeois and destroyed the quality of life on tens of millions of people.
First, there is no evidence that "the 15 dollar minimum wage will hurt more people than it will help" and a lot of evidence that it will help. The economic
evidence is that unless minimum wages are raised to levels higher than anything currently being proposed, hiking the minimum won’t have major negative effects on employment — but it will have significant benefits in terms of higher earnings and a reduction in poverty. What is this about
always raising the minimum wage? It hasn't been raised since 2009.
Second, raising the minimum wage is immensely popular; it’s supported by around
70 percent of voters, including a substantial majority of self-identified Republicans. Or if you don’t believe polls, look at what happened in Florida back in November: even as Trump carried the state, a referendum on raising the minimum wage to $15 won in a landslide.
So the G.O.P. is very much out of step with the public on this issue — it’s espousing what is almost a fringe position. Oh, and it’s a position that is completely at odds with the claim by many Republicans that they’re the true party of the
working class.
Third, I've also been hearing conservatives claim for 40-50 years how Social Security is bankrupt but still keeps on sending monthly checks to retirees. Your assertion has no weight in that debate. Oh and railroads are exempt from Social Security because there was a Federal Railroad Pension that pre-dated Social Security. Public employees are not exempt.
Fourth, as for regulations that drive up home building, even Adam Smith said that it's proper to have fire codes to protect the general public. The regulations on home building are local, not federal and the main cost of home building is the land. Want to build in Hogg Iowa, the land is cheap. Want to build in Greenwich, CT, it's expensive.
Sorry, you can't blame Medicaid for corporations outsourcing jobs to the 3rd world. Somehow, German's who have a more comprehensive social safety net have no problem retaining domestic workers.
