I don't believe in a minimum wage period. Abolishing it at a federal level is just my compromise, in a perfect world there would be no minimum wage at the state or federal level.

The government no right to tell private businesses what they can pay individual workers.

Like 3 percent of workers make minimum wage anyway.
That explains a lot about you. Another one of those "social liberal" but economic conservative types. Translation: I don't want you to struggle because you're poor and black, I want you to struggle because you're poor.

How is $50 absurd?

You want people to live a good life, right?

I never said a good life...I'm saying is people deserve to work one full time job and have that full time job be able to help survive, put food on the table, a roof over their heads and medical coverage .it's absurd $50 an hour..what would be the point of an education and obtaining skills. Your just being an ass starting at $50 an hour..be fukking reasonable a$$hole... Most people in Florida have to work two jobs just to be able to make $30k-40k

It's bottom line and profits for these companies but you want them to be compassionate...fukk outta here. I'm saying I see and interact with people affected by a low federal and state minimum wage...it's disgusting..

I honestly don't know how the MW should be measured but measuring and looking at how much it costs to survive, wouldn't you at least agree that an adult male or female should be at least making 15 an hr or 30k...a livable wage???? No one survives off one job making $8 an hour...no one dude..those people are work 60 hours a week just to have a bed to lay in.

You can't have it both ways. I offered compassion and you rejected it. Then I asked why we can't have a $50 MW and you rejected that.

Which is it?

You guys are idiots

Why should the minium wage be 15? Dollars? Why not 100 dollars? Isnt that more "fair"? Wouldnt everyone get rich?

Of course not, so we should eliminate minimum wage laws and let the market decide. That way fast food workers and other minimum wage earners would get paid more or less depending on their productivity. If they were all productive statistically to the point where they deserved 15/h, the corporations would pay them what they deserve.

What did I post fakkit...30k is a wage that any single adult should be able to survive off of...15 an hour why do I say that?!?! Look at the cost of medical coverage, food, rents, why is there a 15 minimum in NYC and Seattle and San Fran because that a basic minimum wage that an adult should be able to eat and have a fukking roof over their head. I'm done dog

No offense breh, but you've been kind of retarded yourself. I think youre young so I'm hoping this doesnt become a trend fam. You cant go from Bernie Sanders to Trump and have anyone respect your opinion on anything political breh.

So make laws telling companies what to do then. I mean what is your answer here?

Because if you keep kicking the MW football around, you won't get anywhere.

And stop telling me how young you are. You want to be accountable until its time to say something of value.

which came first. The cost of living, or the MW? :sas1:

Honestly, you're not making too much sense here.

Major cities have higher CoL. Obviously. Why should that apply to somewhere like Biloxi, MS?
