LOL, yeah that sounds great.
so owners who cant afford to pay the min wage have the “choice” to go out of business?
They have a choice to start a new business or close, yes. Just like workers have a choice to stay or live on the street or look for other work.
Poor business owners not being able to feed off poverty
When you know nothing about what you speak of, this is the post that clearly displays that. Thanks. I’m done here.
thinkingman:huh?
You say there is no way to know what would happen in the past if minimum wage was removed. Yet, here you are arguing it should be removed
yes i argue that
that is my point of view and opinion. no i cant prove what would be if there were no min wage because it has been around so long
That’s what I pay them to do heavy cleaning, it is not would I am willing to pay someone for light vacuuming.
wow…your business wouldn’t offer them $2? Then the guy across the street says wow…I can get that hard working person for $3/hr. What happened to the first business? He had to decide, is he going to now raise wages to $4 and get that valued employee back or…is there someone else waiting in line to do this job at $1/hr? Golly…isn’t the free market cool?
Ya the free market where wages have remained stagnant for 40 years, where it took a civil war to end slavery, and where it took government intervention to enforce child labor laws and working conditions. Praise the magic hand
LOL, yeah that sounds great.
In the real world, I just raised the company contribution to employee healthcare by 20%, after realizing the net benefit of my reduced taxes. This is how the free market works.

Lol sorry for increasing your light vaccum cleaning costs an extra $1 or 2 per hour.

this is nonsense.
partisan gov policy forces businesses to close and you think this is “having choices”
wow wee
Nobody is endorsing slavery or unsafe working conditions. As for child labor, government went too far there. I worked voluntarily as a child and liked it. The money was nice.

Back in those times, travel and information was much slower. One was locked into a smaller marketplace, unaware of the surroundings and choices. That isn’t the case any longer, is it? Stop living in the dark ages.

i hear ya
I thought democrats were advocating for $15 an hour? That’s about triple what it’s worth. But we get it, liberals think being unemployed beats not getting paid what they think is fair. Hungry children probably don’t agree.

that may be too much for a business to bear.
love how you just know that’s ok for businesses to deal with
AOC school of business.
“we know what you can afford because we’re democrats”
partisan gov policy forces businesses to close and you think this is “having choices”
No one is forced to close their business. Business owners should work harder and change their business model. Just like workers, right?
that may be too much for a business to bear.
A business cant bear an extra $5 a week for someone to vacuum their shop? Hahaha
AOC school of business.
“we know what you can afford because we’re democrats”
Says the guy arguing that people need to work in poverty because the poor business owner.
mobulis: thinkingman: mobulis: thinkingman: ImRightYoureWrong: thinkingman:it is not the employer’s responsibility to make their employees’ lives easier!
Its not the employee or governments responsibility to make business owners lives easier. Business is a 2 way street. You seem to forget that
actually thats wrong. if govmt does its job right, they make conditions better for business
the employee is hired to help the business , to grow the business, to contribute to keeping the business alive…
good lord
And you get what you pay for.
right
So if you want good workers you have to pay good.
yes correct. but everyone instantly gets paid the same min wage. so where’s the incentive to stand out by doing well?
one of my personal arguments against min wage
Well first people like you and Zantax want to pay the absolute minimum you can and expect people to work their hardest. And second ever hear of this thing called a raise?

As a professional internet poster I’m not sure how the real world works. 20% you say? Pretty generous.

Healthcare is a mess right now and clearly needs to be addressed. The last thing any business owner needs is an unhealthy employee or a healthy employee worrying about their unhealthy loved one.
