  • These are all politicians, not statesmen. They say what's popular, not what's true. Raising MW doesn't give workers a "raise." It prices the least skilled out of the labor market because employers can't quite justify hiring them for as much as MW. Some say MW prevents "slave wages," but is someone who is unemployed with low skills any less of a slave when they can't legally offer their labor for less than MW? They lose the freedom to strike a deal for say $5/hour and instead are left with zero.

  • It feels like these guys are just saying what we want to hear. This makes me sad.

  • @dbmasta Nonsense. Minumum wages are actually good. The company still decides exactly WHO they want to hire and what skills you need to get a job. It just sets a level of how little you are allowed to sell your labor for. Without these laws, there would simply be a short competition to hire people, which would lead to wage increases for a short time, and then massive wage slavery.

  • These libtards wouldn't understand economics if it hit them in their face.

  • @dbmasta However, some companies are also greedy enough to hire someone with less skills than, say, someone with a master's degree in a relevant field for a position that requires such simply because it would be cheaper. Having no MW would drive the average household income down severely; there needs to be something in the middle ground, although I have no idea what this middle ground would be.

  • Haha! Hell no they would not!

  • John Edwards and Hillary Clinton's faces at 1:08 and 1:11 are both "I just lied" faces. :)

    By the way, I wouldn't work for it because I'm confident that I'm worth more. I might accept it or less if I moved to a new field and needed experience. If you let businesses pay people what they're worth, you'll see LOTS more entry-level work with upward mobility...and unemployment will go down and the country will be better off. STOP messing up the market with "helpful" nonsense regulations.

  • minimum wage. lol

    people are sooooo silly.

    minimum wage means nothing. you need to look at inflation and the vale of money.

    the more money you print the lower the value of each unit of money.

  • stupid niggers... typical democratic voterbase

  • Their mouth: "Yes I would"

    Their head: "AHAHAHAHAHA Fuck No!"

    Just look at the smile on Hillary's face after sh says "sure"
