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

I don't think minimum wage should stay exactly on pace with productivity, because minimum wage jobs themselves aren't they used to be.
But it ought to be closer than it is. There's a such thing as a place between $7 and $100, and the real argument is where that place should be right now. This whole thread is stupid, you could pick any policy that Dems and Reps disagree about, stretch it to the extreme, and act like a fool about it.
"Anyone who is for states' rights tell me why we shouldn't jump straight to dissolving the union!"
There's not a lick of actual discussion in that, it's just stupidity.

The market sets the rates.
And thanks to the ability to oversea jobs, wages in the US have been suppressed.
Raise MW, and get ready for new outsourcing.
Minimum wage is a horrible policy, and very few people are actually making that little money now, and 40% of them are kids.

It is the minimum wage. Not the wage you’re capable of raising a family and owning a house on. It is the absolute bare minimum.
The bare minimum.
It’s supposed to be the absolute minimum. Not the minimum required for all of life’s comforts.
Further, most places don’t even pay minimum wage.
Walmart
Fast food
Home Depot
Etc...
All pay their employees more than minimum wage already.
Who exactly do you think raising the minimum wage helps?
Who right now is making only minimum wage and through no other fault of their own not able to make ends meet?
