Keep in mind that I am not an economic/pro business conservative, in this area I am a moderate. I am a social conservative. And the question still stands, do you think that a raise will not ever happen. Keep in mind this is the world as it is not as some policy wonk says it should be.
That's the point of referring to you as a French collaborateur: you can decide that something is eventually going to happen and throw up your hands in defeat, or you can decide that something is eventually going to happen and resist it so that it is delayed and minimized as much as possible.
Resist or collaborate, it's your choice.
Of course, resistance presumes one thinks it is a bad idea. In your case, I think you consider it a good idea, and this whole "inevitability" gambit is B.S.
"Keep in mind that I am not an economic/pro business conservative"
That says it all.
In my opinion, people can legitimately hold differing views on social issues; I am relatively conservative, but I have no way of proving that I am right, and others are free to disagree.
On economic issues, though, the liberal position simply ignores economic reality, and is based in ignorance. Very rarely can a reasonable argument be given for a liberal economic position; those advocating such positions rely almost universally on emotion and "tear-jerking" stories.
Please prove me wrong and give a rational argument for your position on the minimum wage.
Keep in mind that you are an ignorant bleeding heart, who doesn't understand, nor care about reality; someone much better suited to being on DU.
