You idiots still using that tired ass "bu bu bu bu but they're going to cut jobs and hours if they increase the minimum wage! " argument? Have any of you clowns been to a Wal-Mart lately? Look at that place. Wal-Mart is already operating at the bare minimum. There's NOTHING left to cut. That's why big business fears this so much. They won't be able to offset the cost of the increase with cuts in labor. As for automation, that's coming anyway. There's no stopping it. Business is going to implement these minimum wage DOOMSDAY scenarios no matter what. The cost of labor could drop to 4 cents per hour but if a machine was able to do it for 3 cents per hour the human labor would be eliminated. The price of all goods and services will rise, as they have been, whether there is a minimum wage increase or not.
And the small business argument is so disingenuous because no one gives a damn about small business until the usual tired "_________ doesn't deserve _______ for doing _______" arguments have been slaughtered. Then it's "bu bu bu bu but small business, what about them? " The only person who seems to operate a small business is Brady's Artechoke and it shown to be cut rate and poorly run on the back of cheap labor. Still waiting for that answer on why you don't think $10 an hour can draw decent labor by the way.
Middle class wages have been on the decline for some time. Shouldn't you all be celebrating this? Shouldn't there be MORE JOBS and MORE HOURS and the cost of everything should be cheap, if not free? Since everything is tied to the cost of labor, right? But no, people bemoan the decline of middle class wages, and rightfully so but want the lower class wages to remain stagnant if not decrease. Why? Do you see yourselves getting closer to that lower class level? Scary huh? If minimum wage goes up then you're that much closer to Pablo and Tyron, not Sumner and Weatherford. Now you hate Pablo and Tyrone. But it's really Sumner and Weatherford you should be mad at. But damn it, you want a seat at their table SO BAD
Think and grow rich, right?
