Stop with the liberal catch phrase. There is no such thing as a living wage. The government should keep their nose out of telling private business what to pay. Let the value of the job decide on what you earn. If your job doesn't earn what you want then better yourself or get a 2nd job. You deserve in life exactly what you put into it.


The government has been sticking its noses into wages for as long as there have been wages in the United States. I agree getting them out of the wage business is a good idea.

What one deserves and what one does to earn that has nothing at all to do with the fact that low wage and no wage people exist in our nation and short of eliminating them, which we ain't gonna do if for no other reason someone has to pay for that also, those people are going to make their nut in some way. Better for those who make the attempt to do so through labor to make their nut out of their employers pocket than mine and yours.

Are you so naive to the business world that you think a business is not going to raise it's prices to pay for the increase then hard working citizens end up paying for it due to higher prices. Sink or swim...it should be all on the individual.

Which is exactly why your dollar has lost 97% of it's value and poor people can't afford anything.

You want to create an unsustainable system where everything is unaffordable to the poor

Your solutions lead to automation, offshore jobs and unemployment.

You do not understand economic tradeoffs.
