Third World Skeptical Kid

$15 is great if you're the guy getting it, and not the one laid off for a robot, which is an actual issue.
Look @ the Auto Manufacturing plants, hardly a man on some lines.

ps

preaching to the choir in a way on that one... thats why I support a BMI... let the machines do the shitwork.

Money is a finite resource, the world is not a video game. And no one works for free that is just stupid.

Eating food gives calories, therefore, if I eat all food I will be super energetic! But it does the opposite. Then eat nothing and be energetic.

I can use garbage logic too. The answer is a balance and throwing some random number at it will neither fix it nor raise the poor.

Its con logic. Minumum wage was 2.75 when I had my first job... its 15 in most places now. the world did not end over the last 40 years, and a happy meal costs .75c.... guess what, folks still buy at and work at mcdonalds, so your point? mine is RAISE THE WAGE.

The left. We did it before and we are fine.

Also the left. THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!

If raising it is so great, why does everyone complain about stagnant wages for the last exact amount of time that democrats have been harping on it.

Also do you know how inflation works?

Im a former fund manager and dot com bubble baby.. so yea.... in fact likely more than you.

Yep. Where do you think your IPhone came from?

Not sure whos side you are on, 'Labour' or the people who exploit it... raise the min wage now... or do you have a problem with that?

I'm for capitalism. For that to function proper we need small business and small business cannot pay dishwashers 15 dollars an hour and people who have seniority need to make more than nubies for money to matter.

Also we need an ownership society. If we dole out money people that own things will get richer while the have nots will expand further to the never wills. A fifteen dollar minimum wage will only consolidate wealth and power and is a crap solution to a real problem.

A preferable solution would be land and vat taxes that would put money into infrastructures that could increase security without destroying initiative.

That's isn't a reductio ad absurdum, but a strawman. Like how getting to much water will kill you, and then saying that no water must lead to better health by the same reasoning in trying to disprove lethal water intoxication.

And you think raising the minimum wage to $15,000,000/hr will make everyone as wealthy as Bezos?

You know what the problem is with raising it to $15/he? The people who worked their butts off to get to 15 or higher will keep the same wages and get their hours cut because employers won't be able to afford to pay that much in wages. But then prices of goods will go up and the people who dont want to work hard to get ahead will bitch while buying things they don't need or can afford.
