Less funding for low income housing, but no minimum wage increase = working homeless?!

If raising minimum wage improves the economy why do we need laws to enforce doing it?
Wouldn't smart business owners do it on their own already?
Good question, David!:clap:

Then in come Rightie business owner, who 'feels' what an employee is worth, and therein lies the problem.

Rightie 'feels' are usually not inline with the rest of the humanity..Therefore, we get 'rules'.

Now, you know how Rightie is with 'rules'..?

Does anyone have any other good excuses for why minimum wages should be set low enough to be the modern equivalent of indentured servitude?

Competition, If China's wage is ten cents, it not fair to Communists when they Open business here. Simple.

Corporations love Communism as long as it cheaper. Think of the HR savings alone!
The "govt" does it for you!
With China Doubling their population you'll have a factory floor with 10 replacements in line.

Notice the lack of concern for the Environment as the most polluting Country on earth is doubling it's output.
Shitting in the corner of the room still makes the whole place stink.

If you're not selling out America's past, you're missing out!

I'd like to take this time to thank the Environmentalist that protested 40 years ago, they may have extended my life by 5 years.

(hey bankers, that's 5 more yrs of fees so there's money in it for you too!)

That's why any good job pays a lot more than McDonald's. Lol, but fast food workers think they somehow deserve more money. A small increase would be fine but with them Kiosks they prove a machine can do the job of a braindead McDonald's employee. :)

I don't think doing the minimum deserves a premium but we need inflation to afford our debt. Some bullshit though nobody gave the government permission to become owned by bankers.

$7.25/hr x 40hrs = $290 x .8 for taxes (very conservative) = $232 a week.

And you think it's okay to ask someone to live on that?

I think you're a selfish fuck.

Burger Kings in California are paying 20 bucks an hour. Fuck the one can get a job at Panda right now for 17 an hour. California is the greatest Country ever!!!!!!!!!!
Don't y'all pay over .40 cents per kilowatt hour?? A good piece of land is also very expensive and most of the state is a desert. I think Texas is better personally everything seems cheaper.

I think you make your bed you lay in it. Nobody is forced to work a minimum wage job they do so so they don't need a real job. Even women they make good money as a waitress compared to McDonald's.

What I really want to know is how a morbidly obese person can afford to be morbidly obese on a McDonald's salary?? If you you ever been to fast food you have seen it. Lol

You get free meals when you work in fast food. Like a "maintenance plan" for weight gain.

Yes all that is true. However we get paid massive amounts of money for skilled trade jobs, all medical is paid for from companies, the 401k retirement packages are insane!!!!!!! And the best part is "they" don't care if someone grows marijuanans, and there is a dispensary on almost every corner. So if you just happen to grow some super out of this world fire its city ordinance that you go in and try to vend it so other people can smoke it and be happy!!!
