The minimum wage should be $125.00 per hour.

If you didn’t have so much ‘under-the-table’ labor (illegals for past forty years), then none of this discussion would be necessary, and most all labor rates would have gone up to $12...maybe even $16 an hour in some regions....as minimum wage. Once you accepted illegal labor existing, everyone looked the other way and kept going.

The government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly rate of pay.

DUH! That’s why giants such as Amazon and Walmart raced to get onboard.

LET’S BRING BACK THE 5 CENT CANDY BAR
When politicians particularly members of today’s in name only democrat party started pushing for a higher minimum wage. The focus should have been on purchasing power of the lowest coin of the realm. Each time it was passed the price of an item like an individual candy bar and everything else increased. What began at 5 cents in the 1940’s steadily increased to what it is today. The result has always been since it began devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar.

I think if Trump is able to put 2 more justices on the Supreme Court (i.e., another term), our side should look to taking the OFFENSIVE and fighting laws like the $15 minimum wage for what they are - A TAKING OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, that being the businesses that are affected, many of which become worthless.

...of course that assumes that OUR SIDE stops being petty and votes REPUBLICAN next November, even if it means re-electing (or electing) some RINOs.

Otherwise, ignore my first paragraph, as fighting these laws will be futile and we’ll most likely will have to fight to just stay out of re-education camps.
