Of course it does.

If you learn how to shoplift, rob, sneak in side doors, etc.

Ya gotta look into the weeds. Many union contracts call for the starting union wages for some jobs to be a certain number of dollars above the minimum wage. So raising the minimum wage automatically bumps up union salaries across the board..

You were doing well until the Jew Hate poured out.

Soros is an atheist.

Soros worked with the Nazis when he was a teenager in Hungary.

It’s all about the endgame, in which “progressives” live luxurious lifestyles and everyone else has to struggle to survive.

Another result of raising the minimum wage is to increase SS contributions (for both employer & employee), along with other payroll taxes. It is basically squeezing more entitlements from employers.

Indeed. I am in a position to see what it costs to hire an employee vs. what the employee is actually paid. The discrepancy is huge. A $1.00 increase in wage costs around a $1.50 increase in employer expenses.

When employers hire illegals under the table, they save a lot more than the price of the minimum wage.

I think there should not be a mandated minimum wage. The market will set its own minimum wage if let alone.

Despite strong opposition from (...) and not-for-profit organizations

What's their beef? So they still don't make a profit. Even better, a big deficit. They should be happy!

I didn’t even think about union contracts. I guess it is true for both public and private union contracts.
