Yes, the government has to artificially increase wages, otherwise it's a race to the bottom. I don't feel like competing with China on an even playing field, that sounds like no fun whatsoever.
It's a known fact that every time the gov't increases min. wage, there is a huge negative impact in the number of people employed.
worse, is that is negatively impacts the young black community the worst; the same group that is always used to sell the myth.
You say you don't want to compete with China, but you support a practice that gives China more jobs.
Inceasing min. wage is a race to the bottom; being a bottom-bitch to increasing poverty and making it harder for youth (especially moniorties) to get jobs.
I'll go as far as saying that if you believe in increasing min. wage, you're a practicing racist.
You're just going to have to get used to the idea of people getting paid a living wage for doing work that's easy, light, etc because that is how the world is headed.
Unless you literally want people to die in the streets until we're back at full-employment, you will have to get used to this idea.

As much as I hate to say it I think an improvement would be made by raising the minimum wage.. Jobs don’t even pay enough to serve as a stepping stone for a career.

Wall-Mart Biggest welfare sucking pig in America. 2.66 billion in wage subsidies each year. The Walton family has 4 of the top 10 richest people in America and none of them got there by working for a living and they get preferential treatment on their taxes on personal income. The big corporate chain fast food industry is the same situation. That is pretty much what a Fascist economy is suppose to look like. An extremely poor workforce dependent on the state and all the wealth being funneled to the plutocracy.

Freedom...America...all that stuff. Basically what FRT_FUN is saying is that if you work at McDonald's for $7 an hour, you should get your priorities together and use your money to get some schooling which could get you a better job/ better lifestyle. People are dumb though, and they'll spend the money on the newest iPhone, or larger wheels and stick on fender vents on their ford expedition. Somehow in their mind, its McDonald's fault that they don't make enough money. They also are the majority, unfortunately, and since the majority vote wins, this country will never change until these people change.

Bull **** **** **** **** ****^^^ Get out of here with that trash.
The problem isn't minimum wage, minimum wage was around when things were good...
We need to look at what was lost, and what the result was.
The whole idea of "change" is horseshit, because all that is needed to be fixed is the basic fundamentals.

I literally wish this was the alternative to working. I literally wish welfare and EBT cards didn't exist and you had to choose between work and starvation. It would literally be the best possible situation for the black community in America. It would literally be the best thing that happened to black people since their ancestors got a free boat ride to America.

Higher Minimum Wage? Small Business Doesn't Mind - Businessweek
This is such a horrible argument. No, it ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T have to. The race to the bottom happens when the gov't mandates a min. wage.
It's a known fact that every time the gov't increases min. wage, there is a huge negative impact in the number of people employed.
worse, is that is negatively impacts the young black community the worst; the same group that is always used to sell the myth.

Most of them have less than $10k in debt when they are done because they attended a community college for the first two years to save money and then transferred into a large state college to finish up the four year degree. They applied for some of the metric shitload of scholarships that exist and worked to pay off the rest.
Like anything else in life college should be looked at through a cost/benefit analysis. What am I going to major in? English..... kill yourself. You might as well just start working your *** of now instead of going to college and you will probably have a better management level position after the four years is up and be making good money. I have seen others do this and almost did it myself. You find a good company that promotes from within like Publix does down here. You work your *** off and play a little politics and you can make management in 4 years easy pulling in roughly 42k after bonuses for an assistant department manager. Two more years you are a manager making over 60k. All of this at 24 years old and 6 years with the company. Seen it done first hand.

Because I won't have to subsidies their employers shitty pay while the people at the top of the company that don’t work at all rape all the profit. That makes me happy. I will also get the benefit of living in a country where the majority of the population isn’t living in extreme poverty with little or no opportunity to improve their own situation. Sure beats living in those countries where they don’t have wage controls, or worker safety regulations, or environmental regulations.
