Trickle-down will be a success but raising the minimum wage, an economic disaster.

[tenderfoot]

My apology for the meta-ish op but spare me, there isn't ONE INSTANCE where conservatives have been correct regarding economics or anything else for that matter.

I find the "Oh no! $15 is too high!" (paraphrasing) OPs very amusing. Trickle down has proven to be total bullshit... which can only mean that raising the minimum wage will work wonders. Hence the need to fight to the death to make sure it never comes to be.

Let me say, if there's one thing that conservatives actually conserve, it is MISERY. Not one redeeming success, not one positive contribution to humanity since Eisenhower.

Give it up already!

Happy Saturday.

2. When you hold the wage artificially low for so many years

It looks like a big bite when you right size it.

If conservatives want to avoid that in the future they should index the minimum wage with the cost of living.

3. The sad thing is, the corporations that will be forced to pay $15 an hour...

will find a way to get (what they think is) their money back.

We need a Three dimensional solution for raising the minimum wage. Corporate america needs to be convinced that downsizing, cutting hours and raising prices or moving operations outside the US isn't good for it's books.

4. "will find a way to get (what they think is) their money back." more speculation...

nothing to prove it.

That's all I've seen regarding this topic.

If they do this - then this will happen...

The same kind of thing said about legalizing marijuana - the fear that more would use it. Residents in Colorado and Washington State have since proven otherwise.

BTW, corporations already go out of their way not to have to provide health care or vacation time. They'll do anything not to have to pay for work done regardless of how high the minimum wage is.

5. Preach it! The lovers of trickle down show themselves over the working poor getting a raise.

These past few weeks have been amusing. All the Chicken Littles showing up to defend those poor old conglomerates. Fuck that! What gets me are the ones that show up on this site, pretending to be concerned. Where were you when Reaganomics started gaining steam? Probably voting, a second time, for Reagan that's where.
