Your spelling and grammar skills are on par with your logical thinking
skills. The USA is far different now than it was fifty years ago, including
a much larger population and a wider gap between the haves and the
have-nots. And all those republican businesses moving
their labor off-shore over the past four decades.


You certainly will not help that situation by legislating an
artificially high wage to jobs that do not provide that level of
return for the business.
All you are doing is assuring that unskilled labor will be replaced by
more machines.


Agree that $15 is too high for some jobs but $7.25 is slave wages and
has not kept up with inflation.

It is not that far off if you look at the minimum wage in say 1964 and
put it into an inflation calculator.

Well, it's not 1964, and it hasn't been 1964 for a long damn time.

What, pray tell, was the minimum wage in 1964, and what percentage
of the labor force was being paid minimum wage?


You need balance. If you want to keep jobs in the USA you have to pay
enough for people to buy the products we make.

I am not sure the intent was for minimum wage people to buy that much.

WTF?

If you are an adult and only capable of making minimum wage even down
here in a coolie wage state like Florida, you really need to reassess
your life.

WTF?

You have to ask how incompetent does someone have to be to make
minimum wage?
McD pays $10 to start in coolie wage Florida and the grocery store
starts at $11 for baggers.
