If true, it proves that your statement implying that higher minimum wages will certainly increase unemployment is false.
Actually it wouldn't, unless you close your eyes pretend that minimum wage is the only factor in higher employment within those countries.
Interesting strawman though.

I think you prove the point here. There's too many variables to tie unemployment to minimum wage making it absurdly wrong to say something like the following in response to a petition to raise minimum wage.

Every signature on this petition should be regarded as a legal committment by the signee, to provide the funds to pay the extra money they are demanding should be handed over to the min-wage workers.
Sound like a plan? Why or why not?
Liberals love to spend other folks money for their causes. If they didn't have other folks money to use they would have no causes. That is the way to end the scourge on earth that is liberalism.
I'm going to have to ask you to justify that. I hardly think that is the absolute truth.
Didnt notice that little question mark there did ya? So if your now admitting thats not true, then why do you expect that to change with even higher wages? Where do you think the money will come from other than laying off employees or raising prices.

I saw the question mark. I can't answer yes or know until you show it to be true or false. I've already told you that I don't think it is absolutely true.

I don't. Why do you expect that to change with higher wages? Can you support that to be true? Btw, it's "you're".

I'm not certain. There's a paper on the impact of minimum wage on business economics and productivity on HBR. It might help you understand this area better.
LOL,many will laugh at this,they get more than that in welfare benefits,have to jack it up more than 9 bucks.
I'm an old woman whos first job was $1,00 an hr. And boy did I work for that. Soon as I got married had soem kids and time to stay home,out come the hippy *******,gone was marriage,family,here to stay was chaos and deprivity. Those crab infected haints put me back to work with kids to raise after Woe VsWade,divorce was easy and living was hard. The very opposite of what those ugly hags offered is what we got,worse treatment by men,kids without fathers and nations without borders. Plus lung cancer from the Virginia Slims Ads'You Can Have t All'. Some nasty woman with a cig between her cheatin lips.
