$15 Minimum Wage?

[baddog]

Folks, I know everyone's wages should get cost of living increases but this is ridiculous. My wife has worked 18 years to get where she is at and now they are going to let some jack leg (someone who is not skilled) come in off the street and make almost the same? I can guarantee that my wife will not be the only one screaming. Maybe there will be protests. Didn't this already flop in Seattle?

Do these idiots realize what this will do to small business?  It doesn't matter, the libtards know what's best.

Wow, your wife has been working for 18 years and makes around 15/hr. She has fortitude. I admire her. I would be really frustrated.

No, she makes more, but not by much. It's not so much what she makes, but the fact that untrained, inexperienced workers will start out close to it.

I understand

15.00 an hour and if you have good benifits to boot, that's not to bad. We had an engineer working on our ground maintenance crew, I think he was with us for about 6 months until he found a position in his field. College degrees do not guarantee big money. My teen would think he hit the jackpot making 15.00.

I cannot agree with this at all. It is "a lot" and not "alot". 

You can do something a lot and you can allot your time but you can't have alot of time.

Higher food prices?  No problem.  Let the evil rich pay more taxes aka "their fair share"

If you are low income, a burger should cost $2, if you are middle class the same burger should cost $6, if you are upper class, it should cost $15. If you are millionaire rich, that same $2 burger should cost you $200.

 

[stevenash]

the very wealthy have ways to be considered low to moderate income.

Lmbo, absolutely.  The burgers in the ads look great, but the reality leaves a lot to be desired.

 

But on the other hand, the Burger Joints could approve this policy.
