There are less than 165 million in the work force in any capacity. Less than 2 million earn the federal minimum wage. ( source Bureau of Labor Statistics ).
Inflation erases minimum wage hikes. Low wages are caused by a labor surplus, and many of the jobs in question are held by illegals. Eliminate that illegal labor pool, and wages will rise.
why is it up to the federal government to determine the minimum wage? ya it sounds popular on the surface to dumb people. why don't they one up the democrats and just propose $30 / hour?
Supporting something wrong isn't how you win either. Deceptive politics is not for conservatives. We shouldn't cave by being immoral to try and force 'greater good'. Two wrongs don't make a right. Never ever ever budge on what is right to try and gain power. This is the path to immorality. It is corruption and once you do this you'll continuously be corrupted. Stand strong to your beliefs and don't cater to immorality in order to seek more power.
Minimum wage is wrong. Tell people it's wrong. DO NOT SUPPORT IT. Any conservative who supports minimum wage to try and gain more power is weak.
a lot of my neighbors in my apartment building work minimum wage jobs, and they support the minimum wage increase and i don't blame them. the problem is, from the few conversations i have had with them, they vote with their wallet and they don't really care about anything in politics outside of what the politicians can do for them. i would not be surprised if a lot of minimum wage workers feel the same. if dems manage to pass a $15 min wage, they will get a lot of voters who would have otherwise voted republican because of the tax cuts, simply because an increase in minimum wage is money directly in their pockets.
Idk, less than 2% of the work force makes the federal minimum wage. We will see. The dems argue that this will get people off benefits, but it won't, they'll just cut their hours to stay below the threshold, its only logical. They should just leave it up to the states, what is stopping single party California from adopting a $15 minimum wage?
i mean, california already passed a $15 minimum wage, but not immediately. last two years it was $12, and this year it is $13 if there are 25 or less employees and $14 if there are 26 or more. i think next year is when it kicks up to $15.
many states all have simiilar situations too, where $15 was already passed and they are just gradually increasing it over a period of 2-3 years.
in fact the effective average national minimum wage in the US is right around $12-13 an hour already (and has been for several years now) and we don't see a lot of adverse effects. making it federal would only really serve to standardize it across the nation.
minimum wage is definitely not the hill to die on.
Last week, your cheesy argument was that white men needed $15 an hour so they could afford to have their wives stay home and keep their one-bedroom trailer clean.
Oh, here you are again. How's the shill posting going? Are you getting any bites or are you just doing these for screenshots as evidence?
Pfft, you really think voting makes a difference? Also, you really thing having an R next to a politician’s name makes him conservative?
The game is so fixed that you can’t win. Best we can do is stop paying taxes and deal with the fallout as it comes.

15$ min wage is going to create a huge bump in unemployment.
States need to overrule.

Do you have any idea how the economy works?
So your answer is "let's do $100p/hr, then we'll really win!"?
What does being pro-white have to do with being a conservative?
