The Orgy of Pork needs to be stopped completely.
Why not make it $100 an hour?
So sick of this self-aggrandizing ass clown... West Virginia’s Mittens -— Munchkins.
Manchin is a major league PHONY!
$11? Dhow your work Joe. Why is THAT the magic nationwide number? Is $11 really a livable wage in New York? Maybe some Senator from WV isn’t the right guy to determine this. What a joke
The government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly rate of pay. End of discussion.
Yep, he wants to put EVERY small business out of business!! :(
Idiots... government has NO authority to artificially set the price for wages, which is no different than imposing unconstitutional price-controls on the sale of products/services! Wages is a changing free market component decided by the supply and demand metrics against a labor pool of skill-sets.
Government DOES NOT own/control the means of production or an individuals labor, therefore DOES NOT have the authority to fix wage prices in the marketplace!
If that were the case, than government would have authority to put price-controls on ANYTHING it pleases! No need to control wages, just produce/provide everything for free and achieve a socialists paradise where the cost of living is ZERO!
Government interferes as a means to create optics and narrative for the purpose of partisan political expediency. Bash corporations with demagoguery/propaganda... create a boogie-man in order to manipulate the public support into favoring government controls. Indeed it gives the illusion of caring for the little guy, but is in reality all misdirection. Designed to impact employment, create desperation and discontent among unskilled/union laborers so the worker demands MORE government regulation and controls over private sector hiring and wages!
Minimum wage price fixing is a socialist central government labor control that DIRECTLY interferes with the voluntary contractual exchange of labor in a free market economy... which leads to a government caused increase in unemployment and welfare dependency. It needs to be ABOLISHED!
$11 is a little better than $15, but the government should not be setting wages.
