Mary Fallin Signs Ban On Minimum Wage Increase

4. It's like I asked before?

Is this situation the fault of the government for trying to make things an atom speck fairer for severely underpaid workers or is this situation the fault of said short-term/short-sighted small businessperson for being under the mistaken notion that the ridiculously low 7.25 an hour insult would remain in place for eternity?

Is the small business owner under the notion that workers in 2014 are paid too much? Fact after chart after graph after study proves that idea dead freaking wrong, and if you have workers with no disposable income, there will be no DEMAND.

I'm just failing to see how taking money OUT of the hands of people who have to spend every dime rather than, at the very least, properly correcting their insulting wages for inflation, creates demand.

That's not "Economics 101", that's Common Freaking Sense.
