[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [qb] [QUOTE]The above statement is proof of why we need a good minimum wage. There is just work that does not pay a wage that can support what society considers a normal life for humans. That in it self is a crime. And the cost to society is very high. [/QUOTE]Minimum wage is a worthless metric, Glass. Everytime it's raised, those who feel they are 'worth' more than minimum wage fight for a pay increase as well. (See Minimum Wage Plus contracts used by Unions) As everyone's pay goes up, so must the cost of what is produced by the company to pay for the increased outlay. Increased prices mean less of an actual 'effective' raise. Additionally, when the consumer (in general) has more money to spend, producers charge more (again, supply and demand). Raising wages (through mandates) is not a silver bullet for poverty. This is why we will always have poverty. 'Poor' is a relative term (as you alluded to above). What we consider poor here is middle to upper class in most of the world (speaking in terms of geographical space). As you raise the standard of living accross the board (which we argueably already have the highest standards existant) what is considered 'poor' simply changes. It doesn't go away. [/qb][/QUOTE]fisrt off? you were answering ray not me. I'm not really "for" a "minimum wage" cuz i do understand that it tends to drive others to demand more, that said, we cannot expect peopl e to keep our toilets clean for a non-living wage, so we import illegal labor to fill the jobs "none wants" LOL.. it's a joke right? i mean big biz wants the illegals for keeping overall wages down and the people who really want them gone are the poor working slobs that find their wages shut down by it... Captialism really is a pyramid, i agree, but the base must be strong or the capstone will not sty up. ;) [IMG]http://www.patriotart.us/_images/Corrections%2012-28-09/gsrevpg3/gsrevclr.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
