??? Why should someone with 20 years fast food experience be paid a training wage?

its logic

and yes raising the min wage in 07/09 was PART of the collapse, as well as the clinton mortgage bubble, and the offshoring of JOBS by the globalist liberals

Your in favor of the globalist agenda if you support 0 minimum wage though.
Sustainable Development and Agenda 21 want everyone to pack into the cities into apartments in order to decrease their global footprint.

Decreasing the wealth of the average American and minimum wage workers helps fulfill that agenda, while the ones behind the policies will be living the high life.

There are no talking points needed.

The government should not determine wages. It really is that simple.

Single persons earning federal minimum wage now are unable to qualify for HUD Section 8 Housing in some areas of the US, due to the fact that their annual income is greater than $9,101.

However, in some of those 1,539 separately functioning economies, a single person can have an annual income of $53,490 and qualify for HUD Section 8.

Let's do the math.....

$7.25/hour * 2,000 hours = $14,500 annually = no HUD Housing in some parts of the US.

$9,100 / 2,000 hours = $4.55/hour.

If a single person earning $4.55/hour is barred from qualifying for HUD Section 8 Housing in some areas of the US...

....then what is the point of doubling their income?

Amused....

Because doubling their income would qualify them for Slumlord Sam's Section Squalor Housing?

Should the government determine a floor on rents?

That's how it works. You learn the craft by flipping burgers, then open your own burger place that offers something new.

You could cut their wages in half, and hire DOUBLE the number of people! Congrats! YOU will make so much money!

If I was a miser like some people and minimum wage did not exist, I would get together with my other country club members and discuss the pay some of the entry level and lower level people make, and reach a consensus on what they are worth. Then like many other scandals, like the LIBOR RATE, we would set the floor rate there.

Then, when the workers complain, me and my fellow cohorts would lobby the local government to setup cheaper housing for them all to live in, by the dozens to a room, and have other people pay for it, since we are giving our local politicians kick backs.
