The only reason not to raise a min wage is greed. lol @ you denying the math for ideological reasons.
What is the reason that the CEO should take 77 million instead of 250 million---- because happy employees, studies show, will increase productivity... NTM increase pay increases consumerism -that boost the overall economy and not the just pockets of the 1% that increases the wealth gap every single day. Also, it's not just the min wage that needs to be increases.
Entire resources should be allocated differently so that America can be a dream and not a nightmare of corporate slavery and economic manipulation. If some one has to go from 1 billion to 700 million for the sake of - the US dollar not losing value by half during the same time as the wealthy getting richer 4x... or corporations being kept alive by the work sweat and slavery of the American tax payer.... when it was the greed of the corporations and the lobbing of politicians that lead the collapse in the first place?????
lol at the labor being expensive... in what world should pay rate not be in line with cost of living??? oh yeah, in the world in which disgusting and unbearable wealth gaps are acceptable.
