You know what I love about the article. Non of the restaurants closing names the wage as an issue. It was talking about closures before the wage went into effect. And then sliding into fear mongering about something that again fails to happen in the real world.

Hillary Clinton is tanking and like always is desperately thrashing around trying to cause chaos and take down the 'racist' Donald Trump.

DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2016 !

Your economic growth is not going to grow at a rate fast enough to sustain the wage increase.
Small business will be decimated.



This and basically every single argument that has ever been made against raising the minimum wage has been used every single time it's come up. And yet the argument has failed to match reality every single time. It has such a poor track record that one must wonder why it keeps getting used at all.

I have a question for you Lagrange. If you pay a starter employee $ 15.00 per hour. Do you also increase the pay for the person with 1 year experience.? Do you also increase pay for people willing to take on the role of supervisor? Could you expect a supervisor to make the same as the person that made the capital investment to start the company and assume responsibility for its success or failure? How would you handle this?

Yes you do and if you understood my post you would understand that is exactly what happens. Increasing the minimum wage is not something we would be doing in a vacuum we have ample data based on increases here and around the world that show it results in more economic growth.

Yea Yea, All her supporters, 800-1200 just come to see if BIG GUY has to run up & give her a shot to keep rally going. They don't want to discourage the few there, especially the media.

She is an economic genius. Says raising the minimum wage will also enable employers to hire more people.
By the same logic, raising gasoline prices will enable you to buy buy more fuel for your car.
That needs some explaining.


She's actually right. I know its counter intuitive but understand how an economy works. Lets Treat it like an internal combustion engine for a moment.

The fuel supply then would be consumer demand. The spark plugs are innovation and investment and economic growth is the result of the engine turning. I know this is very simplified but it covers the important basics.

We know that increasing the minimum wage will not only increase wages for those people but will have the effect of increasing wages up to around 100k with a diminishing return the higher up you go. Most of the people who will see those wage increases will spend that money on a number of things increasing consumer demand and doing so long term.

When long term consumer demand rises employers must either expand staff in order to meet that demand or loose business to someone else who is.

empowers, sure you are a woman. It's still a fact that most Trump supporters are older white (racist? bigoted?)

men. That aside, Trump himself has plenty of biases and plenty of crazy ideas.

I thought you had your fill of that kind of men. I'm serious. You imply that you've been in relationships with bullies and that you had to fight to survive.
