--- Quote from: KickFlow on April 23, 2015, 04:20:15 PM ---I didn't say inflation. I said it'll cost business owners more money, and in order to compensate for the extra money they're spending on employees, they will raise the prices of their products that YOU consume, which affects you, making it seem like your dollar isn't as useful as it once was. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Rigel on April 23, 2015, 04:27:31 PM ---No, if minimum wage is increased, then prices shall increase, and the worth of the dollar shall fall. It would only feed inflation. --- End quote --- Have either of you ever taken an economics class? This is one of the most common assumptions people make about minimum wage and why it shouldn't be raised. Raising minimum wage in no way relates to raise in prices, inflation, what ever the forget you want to call it. |

yes make minimum wage high enough so that i can save up for a personal football field to purchase by the end of the year and then never use it because i don't care about football then rename the country to Big Bucks Island doesn't matter if it's actually an island |

Absolutely not. Minimum wage is there for unskilled jobs. If companies need skilled workers, the workers would demand the amount they deserve and the company wouldn't be in business if they only hired at min wage because nobody would work there for a stuffty income. |
