It is amazing when a poster ostensibly reads a post, and responds to that post and yet in the response doesn't actually address anything written in the post they are making response.
I didn't write about waiting for money.
Minimum increases are not a wash. There is mixed data about price increases.
In sum, these results provide mixed evidence that higher minimum wages result in higher fast-food prices.
Liberals like to redistribute income downward. Conservatives like to redistribute income upward.
A pox on both their houses.
Not really. True conservatives believe in letting the marketplace be the final arbiter as to prices and wages. Also we object to corporate welfare and subsidies just as much as we do most entitlement programs which encourage the persistence of a permanent underclass with the said sense of entitlement. Most of us support a flat tax. All the way around.
I do. I hate those "poor" people! Stick 'em all in concentration camps!
Gawd, how pathetic! Do you (and those of your ilk) have no shame at all in your silly left-wing accusations? Are you really that full of yourself and your sense of moral superiority? How dare the conservative outlook be supporting policies that encourage the "poor" (most of whom do not remain poor long, anyway) to become self-sufficient. Perish the thought...
If the data is "mixed" then why not increase the minimum wage to $20 an hour?
Why should there be a federal minimum wage in the first place? With the varied cost of living throughout the U.S., this is an issue that should be left totally up to the individual states.

The liberal democrats in power want to use the IRS to defund the american people to give to corporate cronies. They are using the poor and the liberal media as their army.

True conservatives generally support regressive taxes and also generally support government protections for incumbent property owners (e.g. zoning, tax breaks for homeowners) which have the effect of redistributing income (generally upward) from renters to owners. Conservatives prefer sales taxes (which tend to be regressive) to income taxes (which often are not regressive) and especially like to trade sales tax increases for property tax cuts - a guaranteed way to redistribute income from renters to owners.

millions of low-wage workers remain low-wage workers throughout their working years. if they don't have kids they might not be poor but they're not middle class either.
