Tell you what. If you're willing to come to Las Vegas (who doesn't want to visit Vegas??) and sign a non-disclosure agreement, I'm willing to give you a tour of my office, show you our articles of incorporation which lists me as an owner and even buy you a beer. Let me know...
I would love to have a tour of your "business" and any other "business" you cons claim to be all owners of. Or as I like to say, unemployed people pretending to be in business for themselves.
Depends on the country, so no, they do not have that in common unless you think Switzerland at 3.5%, Germany at 5.2%, and Denmark at 6.7% as "very high." That must mean that the US's unemployment is insanely high to you.
No, I'm not talking about politically generated numbers. I'm talking about the percentage of people who work vs who do not.
What's the point? I'm not going to watch a 5+ minute video simply because you posted it with absolutely no comment whatsoever. If you want me to watch it, you must tell me why you think it's pertinent to what I wrote. And frankly, I don't see how someone talking about Wal*Mart (a single company, and one that doesn't have that many minimum wage employees) has anything whatsoever to do with what I wrote, so I'll tell you right now - it's going to be a hard sell.
Walmart is the poster child of paying dismal wages.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) demanded that a panel of experts justify why America’s shrinking middle class should continue to subsidize the nation’s wealthiest family in a heated exchange Thursday during a congressional panel.
The Senate’s lone independent pointed out during the panel on income inequality that more Americans were currently living in poverty than at any point in the nation’s history as the top 1 percent siphoned off 95 percent of all income generated between 2009 and 2012.
You keep providing stories with words like "might, predicted, expected..." but 25 pages in you have yet to provide any links that show minimum wages directly impacting unemployment.
Whats hilarious is the link you provided was easily debunked by the first person in the comment section.
Once again, you are telling me companies havent offshored jobs to other countries with lower labor costs?
Well that is a stupid move unless you plan on raising the minimum wage to the minimum cost of living wage that will allow people to no longer need social safety nets.
No it just shows you'd blink at an offer that would test the true employment affect of a hike.
That is because you know it would be a jobs killer, too.
The "min wage controversy" is what the government cooked up to get the attention off of their failed policies.
62% of min wage workers are in school and live in middle class homes making over $65K a year.
That would mean that 38% of min wage workers try to support themselves and perhaps other family members.
Also, if we pay more to students, perhaps they will need less government assistance for college.

No it wouldnt, it would just raise the cost of things like food, housing, etc, and thus increase the standards for assistance.
Thats like saying we dont need welfare anymore because we raised the minimum wage over how many years.. Ridiculous
