Employers should “accept lower profit margins.” That from the biggest flippin’ spender ever to hit the District of Corruption. Your government should accept lower tax rates, IDIOT!
Or raise prices,....if their customers have not yet reached the point of price resistance.
In that case, the boss can just fire everybody and auction everything off. The taxpayers can support his ex-employees while they support GE and GM as well. He won't be one.
And he is doing a good job of destroying the jobs that are left.
Kinda like the left complaining about the huge profits of Walmart yet their profit margins are in the range of 3%.
These "experts" will never get that these workers will not be better off when everything they have to buy goes up in price to pay for higher wages.
all power to the government and the hero of benghazi
“The only reason to be in business is profit and never to give someone a job!”
I was recently interviewed by the new president of a stumbling privately held company and he astonished me by saying, “It is our goal to be the best place in the city to work.” I said, “What do you mean by that?” He replied, “We want to be known for the highest pay and most generous benefits.” I’d already determined that one of their problems that would have directly affected my success there was overly generous benefits. I held my tongue. Unfortunately, they hired somebody else.
The ideologue speaks his mind. Thank you Great Leader for mandating the profits of business owners.
Price controls working out so well in Venezuela
Don’t forget that weasle McNasty and little Lindsay Graham in the list of enablers.
just one riot away from a new government
maybe sean penn and oliver stone can put humpty dumpty back together
Obama says he wants to raise minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 by 2016. That's an increase of 39 percent. So the cost of living will go up 39 percent. As I'm on S.S., will my S.S. checks go up 39 percent by 2016 to allow me to buy $10 cheeseburgers? (Well, if a good cheeseburger meal costs about $7 now, then it'll be $10 later after a 39 percent increase.) No good will come from this meddling by the fool.
That sounds like a government entity and not a private company.
If it was a private company they will be out of business in short order!
Absolutely!
There is an abundance of Back-Stabbers in Congress that demand to be held to account. The question is, will they?
Here in TEXAS we will do our part. Hopefully, we won’t be alone in “culling the herd” during our Primary Season.
I guess the evil Capitalists didn’t get the meme ‘Capitalism is EVIL ‘!!! /s
White House jackboot TOTALITARIANS have spoken on behalf of King Hussein.
Meanwhile, CONgre$$ chirps and the USSC runs interference for the U.S.A. - United Socialists of America
Check$ and Balance$?
The root cause of the devaluation of currency by the socialist created FED is never discussed.
$10,10 ? You don’t need 20/20 eyesight to see that “Socialism Is Legal Plunder”. The minimum wage has to keep up with the plunder, otherwise the low-information voters may get restless.
FED up?
“May be fine for large companies,...”
Large companies are not paying ‘minimum wage’, but when it comes time for their bargining unit employees to demand a higher wage, ‘minimum wage’ comes into play. The Unions love ‘minimum wage’ hikes...they use it to get more money.
It all adds to INFLATION, and though they don’t know it, it means that, even with wage increases ‘tied to the minimum wage’, they will be worse off than before. Inflation is deadly...and the Fed is doing this to us, even with out a ‘minimum wage’ influence.
Shhhh!!! He is probably reading this, don’t give him any new ideas.
