Can someone answer my question about the minimum-wage hike?

104. sorry for your delusions

But just because someone disagrees with you hardly makes them a conservative. If you were in any way fair... you'd have taken my old posts as proof that I'm the furthest think from a conservative. But it's clear that you place your own beliefs over objective evidence.

As for the OP... if I were sneaking into a right wing group... I might have used the same type of post. Now we'll never know. But his questions were valid. I also don't believe that you can just decree a national $15 MW... and that local economies will magically pull themselves up with its own bootstraps through increased demand. It's magical thinking... especially since the right and corporate Dems have so sabotaged the economy so there are no market forces pulling wages upward. The simple fact is that there is NO OECD nation that has a $15 MW in terms of parity purchasing power. The highest is Luxembourg @ $11.20. And NO state currently has a MW higher than $10.

$15 is uncharted territory.

But you're free to engage in all the magical thinking and unfounded accusations you want... making your choice of avatar all the more laughable.
