Democrats should immediately confront the federal minimum wage rate. (terror, laws, welfare)

Why is turning the US Mexico border into the Korean DMZ or the Berlin Wall so important to so many people?
You cannot "create" jobs at $5 an hour if people are not willing to work for $5 an hour.
And you cannot wave a magic wand and suddenly make people's labor worth $20 an hour.

FatBob96 and FirebirdCamaro1220, regarding the exchange between you both:
I do not doubt that an enforced minimum wage rate is an additional justification for public assistance; to the extent that the nation's definite legal or indefinite market enforced minimum rate is insufficient, that's further justification for public assistance.
I do not doubt that lacking a reasonably effectively enforced minimum wage rate within an economy lacking effectively full employment, is a cause for wages “racing to the bottom”. Consequentially that's the path for extreme national poverty and a need for public assistance.
I do not doubt that if there were no enforced minimum wage rate, a greater proportion of our population would be employed at wage rates of drastically reduced purchasing powers, to the greater net detriment of the nation's economy.

LOL! Because people are so eager to work for $1/hour.

If the safety net were gone, I guarantee you would get some takers to work for a $#!+ wage like that, as with a lack of a safety net $1/hr is better than nothing 🙁

Here's another way to look at it that maybe you can wrap your brain around:
See if you can follow along:
If they use money that was given to them from the taxpayers to pay sales taxes and gas taxes etc.....
Then they are literally using our taxes to pay their taxes.
That's Insanity.
Your point being? You don't have a leg to stand on here, because that's what public sector employees already do, they are paid from taxes, and they in turn have taxes taken out of their pay, so not as insane as you make it out to be.....
