Raising the minimum wage won't help

And lets not forget the fact that employers have to pay for unemployment insurance and worker's comp insurance and contribute to their social security and Medicare for each employee.  An increase of min wg to $15 per hour will cause many employers to cut staff, do less hiring in the future, and set impossible expectations of workload for the employees they keep around.

So, raising the minimum wage is bad because some employers are going to skirt the law so they don't have to actually follow it. Got it.

Only the ones that want to stay profitable.


You dumbasses think you can legislate a market.


Ask the Soviets.... See how well that works out.

Oh - wait... No Soviets anymore....

The Russians are still paying for the stupidity you want to jump headlong into....
