Sen. Tom Coburn: Why not raise minimum wage to $20, $25, or $100?

[Poppa_Dock]

I personally support a 10 dollar minimum wage.

$15 NATIONALLY is way too high.

Cause dudes just wanna get in on the anti-corporation circle jerk without understanding that MOST small businesses would collapse on that.

We're talking corner stores, nail salons, flower shops, barbershops, etc.

Also, cali is not mississippi.

Dudes gotta understand this in context.

I' support alternatives as well:

- universal income
- industry specific minimum wage
- age specific minimum wage
- earned income tax credit reform

i don't beleive this. How many workers do you need to run a flower shop? There is tons of private road side flower ships in canada that are huge and sell tons of stuff, even offer services like plowing, and it's usually some woman, husband and child running the entire operation. A nail salon or barbershop usually have people almost rent a spot in the store, at least for barbers and also things like tattoo artists, you aren't really on a salary you kind of lease out a spot to cut hair or whatever and pay a portion to your boss. Corner stores shouldn't need a huge staff, it's usually 1/2 people in there and lots of the time it's a family operation and they aren't hiring random people who drop resumes. yes, if the minimum wage raised, the type of dude who runs a small business who wants to sit and not work while he hires people to do the work, he won't survive because he wont be able to afford paying people, the only way he will survive if is he busts his ass and does the work himself or gets his kids or something, like lots and lots of small business owners do. I know a few successful small business owners, all of them kind of sit around and hire workers and pull out money, not that they don't deserve it or that it's even bad, or that they don't work, but they have set it up so they hire workers to do most of the work, which would obviously be the end goal if you are starting your own business right? You want to be your own boss and not answer ot anybody, the thing is people need more money, so the small business owners are going to have to figure it out, they can't have the final say just because they own a small business, there are more workers than people who own a small business.

I know it's not that simple but the argument can't stop at "well small business owners can't afford it, so all these working people, a much bigger number than small business owners, should be the ones to suffer"
That is crazy, and in the end it's simply not a just thing to do.

I'm not even with the small business thing cause "small business" is a wide term.

I'm just saying that DOUBLING the minimum wage from what it currently is isn't just gonna go over smoothly

Ah true...Linda Tripp...dummy made the mistake of telling her homegirl about it

Still...probably should have never done it in the first place

even raising it a bit should do damage because there is definitely places called "small business" that probably hire up to hundreds of people, although im not exactly sure how that breaks down in the states, but if there is obviously that would cause a crazy collapse. But wtf peoples lives are collapsing, people have no money to raise good children who are going to compete in the future. It's almost like the right doesn't think about how you are going to have to mold the next generation in order for america to compete globally. Making them grow up poor is an easy way to fuk all that up.

 

[Im Kemet Rocky & I like penis]

God these politicians never been broke and hungry a day in their fukking lives i wished someone stole all their money and fukked with their shyt, see how shyt feels when they cant pay their bills, working in stressful filled jobs, with crazy ass demanding idiotic bosses who dont care if your sick, Let them get billed for all frivolous bullshyt, parking tickets too, their kids need braces no medical insurance will cover the whole thing. Working for a govt job but not getting paid for it when congress cant pass a bill....


Just once i want to see these @ssholes brought down to to our level.
Then lets see if they will sing the same tune...

[Domingo Halliburton]

why not raise it a dollar or anything. just give in a little. seriously fukk these guys, this is common sense stuff.

believe me I understand the plight of small businesses. lower taxes if you have to.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Why not make a maximum wage? I'm not an economist, but surely you reach a point where the excessive wages you earn ar detrimental to your employees and society as a whole. Set a threshold and use whatever's let over to implement actual "trickle down" economics. Everybody eats

 

[CACtain Planet]

Dude is playing a part and he knows it. Where are his suggestions on how to address that the price of goods and the rate of infaltion has not matched income levels in over 10 years?

And You think raising the national minimum wage to $10.10 effectivly addresses the price of goods and rate of inflation?
Flunk out of microeconomics and talk economics on thecoli.com, brehs!!!

Capitalist country...people would'nt stand for it. Or at least, the people who have the loudest voice.

 

[Street Knowledge]

The thing is 15 dollars an hour is still poverty. It's not like someone who was making 8 dollars and now making 15 is living it up. It's just a bandaid issue though. The real problem is we have so many people not working.

Did you take into account other cost associated with raising the federal minimum wage that negatively effects small business owners such as the cost of the product that they sell in their business goes up because the pay to manufacture that product increases, labor costs increase due to Obamacare, etc. ..The increase of the federal minimum wage increases costs for small and big business alike
