Why exactly?
How low do you want it to be? Do you want deflation?

Also the correlation between minimum wage and inflation is grossly exaggerated by some people.
 
^ The cpi is bullshit.

The price of everything needs to come down, not continue to rise and the usd needs to regain value.
 
The labor market is broken due to Fed policy and regulation trying so hard to keep the economy artificially propped up. And yea, that CPI is bullshit. We're getting hit hard and the only people loving it is the corporations that can afford this bullshit while the little guy gets pushed out of the market and has to resort to underfunded workers and pay.
 
Too much rich person socialism.
 
why is it that liberals think that people on minimum wage are people with a family to support?

minimum wage are for people that bag groceries, flip burgers and ask if you want fries with that. not for engineers, managers, etc. etc.

liberals need to understand there are different levels of people, not everyone can be a CEO. by increasing minimum wage all you're doing is increasing the prices that a business will charge to cover their cost of operation, therefore by increasing wages for workers you're also increasing the prices for goods that said worker is purchasing.
 
Wow, that's not at all what they said. Nice spin.

Probably because there are people who work MW and have families. Obviously not all, but do you really want those who are on it to suffer?

The average fast food worker in the US is in their late 20's, they aren't just high school kids. Not only are they much more likely to spend their pay on products than the CEOs of these chains, who will put it into investments that receive minimal taxation, but they also must rely on government programs to survive. I understand being wary of "hyper-inflation" or "class warfare" or whatever bullshit it is this week, but I feel so much of the conservative rhetoric steps gingerly around the idea that poor people should just go die quietly in a ditch.
 
All they need to do is stop raising the prices on everything for the next 500 years and we'll be fine. :icon_lol:

If they bump it up to 21/hr, I'm quitting my stressful job that pays me 21/hr and getting a walmart job.
 
Honestly I don't know enough about the economy to have an opinion on this.

A guy who bags groceries isn't expecting to be a CEO. But if he works for a corporation that generates billions in revenue, is it too much to ask for a liveable wage? And yes people who make minimum wage do have families. Many are on welfare because the fucking international corporations they work for pay shit. So if the corporation doesn't pay the liveable wage, the the country has to make up the difference.
