In the 1950's and 1960's, one could live on the minimum wage,
When I started working as a dishwasher in 1974 the minimum wage best I can remember was about $1.70 per hour
I doubt many people were living on that.
It was for first time jobs, teenagers, etc...
Those were job training wheels for youth
Now illegals have taken many of those jobs from Americans
Oh...but we gotta let the senors and their ninos all in....booowhoo
The problem is the gvt.....
the explosive growth of gvt has to be paid by someone...money doesn't grow on trees.
Also the gvt has debased/devalued the worth of money by printing money to cover immoral deficits.
So money does not go as far anymore....because gvt has debased our currency thru printing/borrowing
It's a sneeky/immoral way to hurt working people and the poor....make their money worth less.
I really is not about Mickeyburgers.
It is amazing that you fall for stupid puff pieces like that Mickeyburger thing.
I thought you were smarter than that.
Of course it's not about McDonalds.....
it's about liberals pretending money grows on trees
Forcing companies to pay unskilled labor more than they are worth raises prices for soccer Moms.
clearly a hidden tax on those it hurts the most!
Min wage doesn't "hurt" me.
I can afford higher prices across the board....I am not buying 6 happy meals for rug-rats.
Soccer Moms can't as easily afford higher prices you cause that are passed on to the consumer.
Automation will continue to rise not only because of technology, but because "do gooders"
that think they are helping people, but really screw people....see "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor".
