re: Arkansas Voted An Increase To The Min Wage - $11.00 Over 3 Years

Given that the minimum wage has decreased in terms of actual real money over the last 40 years that hasn't been proven.

That’s fine and dandy. Min wage should be $0.

Go ahead and come back with a lame argument, but actual statistics prove that the federal minimum wage is worth 80% of what it was in 1968, so the minimum wage actually hasn't gone up in that time so it's illogical to argue that you know what raising the minimum wage does. YOu have no idea because the minimum wage hasn't actually gone up in recent memory.

fact, the opposite, the minimum wage fell so far below inflation that it would take an immediate enactment of $11 an hour to rectify that. By the time Arkansas gets to $11 an hour in 2020 it will probably be $13 an hour. That's the nature of inflation.

And mandated min wage increases still disproportionately affect those who make min wage in negative ways. As proven time and time and time and time and time again.

If you wanna come back and try again, be my guest. Not my fault you can’t comrehend that forced increases to min wage are bad and hurt those who make min wage.

Min wage should be abolished completely.
