Anyone who is for increased minimum wage tell me why we shouldn't jump straight to $100/hr

Why should we stop at $15/hr. I mean $100 and everyone can live comfortably. Right?







I'll sit and listen.

Great point!

If anything, the minimum wage should be lowered to inspire people to get educated and get a better job.

Probably should be done away with.

I would prefer UBI at $10k/month.

It's a bit of a cut from your $100/hr, but I'd rather not work.

Everyone should have UBI, so kind of, yeah. We're going to see UBI and the 20 hour work week soon. There's no avoiding it.

I was watching an interview on CNBC from some guy who said essentially that the US government could print enough money to give everyone in the country a million dollars and the truth is, that nobody knows what would happen to our economy if that happened.

Should be $30, no way can you get a 6 figure house on $15 much less the newest iPhone and keep up with fashion trends

And would pay more in taxes, resulting in more income to the government. Win Win.

This is a perfect question. If a liberal tries to argue why it shouldn’t be $100/hr, they will be in effect explaining why $15 an hour is a stupid idea.

My God, liberals are morons.

Dems: everyone who works full time should get a living wage. 31 K assuming they work 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year.

Conservatives who think they’re smart: why shouldn’t they make 208k a year HUH?!?

The absurdity of a minimum wage is astounding.

The government can just print more money. Right?

When you come to the realization that what you say is in jest (partially) you will find that it is not all that outrageous.

You think wrong on money. It has not been that way for 25 years.

Excellent question.

Dems/leftists have always had problems with numbers.

Ask them “what is the latest month of pregnancy that you can legally kill a baby?”

Ask them “what percentage of their income should the federal government be allowed to take from them”
