The people who'll really suffer, are those who are already making 15/ph right now.
Inflation will occur whether the minimum wage is raised or not. Thus this whole argument is a massive fail.

Protesting too much just proves that I'm right.

If you were a millionaire, you wouldn't even bother responding to my doubts.
So now you're an expert on millionaires? Such insight must be a gift just like all the "other people's money" you want to suck up. Interesting that the least informed always set their own standards for proving they are right. I haven't seen you be right one time since I started reading this forum.

Obviously the billionaire because he's already demonstrated his worth to society. People are simply not of equal worth.

Lol...I hate to break the news to you, but becoming a conservative has no degree of difficulty. I can choose to cut my IQ points in half and go sign up at the local Republican Party headquarters at any time.

"Being you" is just that easy.
If you cut your IQ in half it's highly unlikely you could find the local Republican Party headquarters, or the toilet.

Wonderful!!! In one fell swoop you've made the point for this whole thread. I will be eternally grateful for this unsolicited and devastating proof of exactly how true the billionaire's statement was.

Even better. Then I'd be the perfect Republican.

Relax, Frances. No one is trying to trick you into working. Go back to playing video games.
