Without profit a business provides no jobs, minimum-wage or otherwise.

If you are going to have a minimum wage law for employees, you need to have a minimum profit law for the employers of those employees.

Any company that doesn't earn a minimum profit gets a supplement from the feral government to bring it up to the minimum-profit level.

Profit inequality must end!

Those are COMPELLING statistics.

It seems that ALL we can ever expect from this administration are falsehoods, fabrications, misdirections, mendacity, prevarications, ruses, hoaxes, and, of course, LIES!

Now is completely the opposite, wrong time, to raise the minimum wage.

Absolutely not. No.

Bring back American jobs.

Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.

...except that it is an economy killer.

Anybody who has taken Economics 101 knows that forced economic floors like minimum wages and ceilings like price controls send shock waves throughout the economy, severely disrupting supply and demand. In this case, minimum wages drives up a company's costs forcing price increases or forces the company to hire fewer people to keep the costs and prices the same. Either way, entry-level workers like teenagers and those with little education are denied work.

Minimum wage is just one of many examples of how the results of Socialist government programs do exactly the opposite of its stated intentions.

This policy is not based upon facts. It is based upon emotions. Raising the minimum wage sounds compassionate. And that is all that matters, because that is the objective. To sound compassionate while portraying opponents as heartless, cold, and cruel.

But that won’t matter as it continues to poll at least 63% approval every time it comes up.

A Federal minimum wage law is patently unjust and unconstitutional government action that needs to be repealed, nullified , or in some way no followed. In that sense many conservatives are on the wrong side of the illegal immigration issue, apparently not realizing that the hiring of illegals to process crops in California UNDER the minimum wage keeps food prices down. Anything anyone can do to get around unjust and unconstitutional laws should do so. Rebellion against government injustice was how our country was formed.

“Much of what you hear about the minimum wage is completely untrue”

What I hear from business owners about the minimum wage is mostly true.

It should read what you hear about the minimum wage from politicians and the MSM about the minimum wage is completely untrue.

In fact, you could say what you hear about anything from politicians and the MSM is completely untrue.

If Obama and big brother really cared about wages, they’d be trying to end inflation, rather than pushing the usual smokescreen that keeps it hidden for a few years.

Well yeah, everything “you’ve heard” about the minimum wage issue is “false” if you’re a low information American. God knows we’re swimming in them.
