Read it and weep folks...RAISING MIN WAGE DOES NOT CAUSE JOB LOSS OR HIGHER PRICES. Its sickening to think you republicans are A OK with paying a ceo MILLIONS a year yet can't stomach the thought of someone making 12k a year having a small raise so they can not live on the streets and feed themselves and their kids...You are NOT the person who gets to decide who can have kids and who can not. Simple as that. Raise the wage and there will be less ppl on food stamps and welfare of all kinds! You people are anti poor people and pro rich snobs who use the poor like slaves to get richer. You are being USED!
That's faux news and Rush Limbaugh talking points and not fact.If it was fact for instance why haven't products gone up extremely high in price because of the million dollar salaries of the CEO's? Try answering that one...if it ain't gone up with million dollar salaries it won't go up enough to worry about it if at all.
The CEO's aren't making record salaries because of record production.
While prices might no "go up enough to worry about" they will go up enough to cover any raise in the minimum wage. The minimum wage is not the problem, the reason why the wealth gap has grown so large is the problem.
This was back when you met face to face with the person that gives you the loan. 1985 and it was an 8 year old house priced at 29,900. I believe my payments were $268. About the same as rent, though granted you have other costs associated with owning a house. There were times it wasn't easy.
I still remember him saying that he believed that if I was willing to work two jobs that I would make the payment. My ex still lives there.
Our first home was a new tract home in Mira Mesa, San Diego. We paid $21,500, and our payment, including taxes and insurance, was not much more than we had been paying for rent in La Jolla (at Windansea!), which had been $130/mo. This was in 1972. We had been married for two years, and we both worked. We lived in that house (remodeled once, doubling it's size) till 1993 when we moved here to Ohio. It sold for $189,900, but we had to pay a few costs out of that, because the buyer went FHA, which means the seller gets slightly screwed, having to 'subsidize' the buyers costs (to use a favorite Leftist term).
That article says nothing about salaries causing the raise in meat prices...and I don't see it down here in Ga. I pay 1.98$ a pound for chicken and its been that way since I was out on my own 10 years ago. I don't eat ground beef but I do eat ground turkey and its always been slightly higher...bout 3$ a pound.

You have to being able to put two and two together. All the same you said prices didn't go up. They did. I'm not that interested in what you eat.
Mine isn't an argument that what we did was good either.

First, is $10 an hour a living wage? Do you feel this is enough?
Second, you don't understand that when just a city here or there does a limited increase, it would not have the same effect as a large national increase. This has to do with both the amount and the interaction with the rest of the supply chain. If Seattle was it's own economy, your example would be valid, but since Seattle gets so much from areas outside that aren't under the same constraints, it's a false comparison.
So if one is working an unskilled labor job, they should not have sex?
Is that what he said? Amazing how you Leftists twist things. I think what he said was you'd better learn to support your family. Better yet, you shouldn't even marry before you can support a family.
The highest marginal tax rate for individuals for U.S. federal income tax purposes for tax years 1952 and 1953 was 92%
Under a REPUBLICAN president I might add. Republicans USED TO be sane and cared for citizens instead of just a tiny portion of them.It needs to go back to that.
The middle class is shrinking because our country is so top heavy in wealth and thats because the real wealthy are not paying there tax rates. .
So if George Soros pays more taxes the middle class will benefit? That's creative.
