    FUCK the minimum wage!!!!

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...4501&printer=1

    Jackasses are trying to raise the minimum wage (federal) from $5.15 to $7+ per hour.

    That's BULLSHIT! Minimum wage just increases inflation and denies employment to those who's skills are worth less than the going minimum wage.

    NO minimum wage = wider employment.

    Damn liberal bastards

          Ok consider if the people currently working for $5.15 an hour started making $7 an hour. They'd have more money to spend, thus creating the need for more jobs.

              SEE... that's the fucking problem. Since they are mandated by law to pay you X amount, they can't hire more people. Now if there's no minimum wage, they can hire more people!

                  Minimum wage should be at least $10 an hour.

                          Clinton signed a minimum wage increase in the 90's and it didn't seem to hurt the economy - not until Bush showed up at least.

                              You're so full of shit I don't even know where to start. Employees add value to a company. If you are paying someone $10 an hour, you should be getting at least $30 an hour worth of work in return. If a company can't do that, they have very bad management.

                                      BULLSHIT. Are you a REAL webmaster? Webmaster = business owner. You talk like a fucking employee. If you own your own business, you would know what the FUCK I am talking about.

                                                          You need employees to build a business and with any cost, you expect to make a profit back from it. By your reasoning, GM would never pay for sheet metal because as you so eloquently put it COSTS depress PROFITS. Without costs there are no profits. Fucktard.

So instead of paying a steel worker $30 an hour here in the united states, they can pay a chinese worker $30 a WEEK for the same thing.

A raise in minimum wage would create a whole new market for alot of businesses. More money in peoples pockets means more spending. More spending means more profit for companies who already pay their employees more than minimum wage.

                                                                              Think about it. The guy who owns a mcdonalds has to shell out more, but his employees go and throw the money right back into the economy. Therefore his 401k plan gets bigger because the other companies in the economy are making bigger profits.

By your reasoning, GM would never pay for sheet metal because as you so eloquently put it COSTS depress PROFITS. Without costs there are no profits. Fucktard.

                                                                                          You are an Intellectual Giant! Hey dumbass, GM's cost for sheet metal is elastic because of the volatility in the commodities spot market. However, because of FUCKTARD labor unions (formed to protect useless maggots such as yourself) their costs for labor are FIXED. So what happens? Less profitability coming from cost reduction -- just focus on sales.

                                                                                          That's not the way a proper biz is run. It gets profits BOTH from lowering costs and increasing sales.

                                                                                          Indeed, because of the high labor costs in the US, our goods cost a lot more and we end up selling less... hence we rely on fucked up trade mechanisms like tarrifs.

                                                                                                                                  That's BULLSHIT! Minimum wage just increases inflation and denies employment to those who's skills are worth less than the going minimum wage.

Hey dumbass, GM's cost for sheet metal is elastic because of the volatility in the commodities spot market. However, because of FUCKTARD labor unions (formed to protect useless maggots such as yourself) their costs for labor are FIXED. So what happens? Less profitability coming from cost reduction -- just focus on sales.

                                                                                                                                      That's not the way a proper biz is run. It gets profits BOTH from lowering costs and increasing sales.

                                                                                                                                      Indeed, because of the high labor costs in the US, our goods cost a lot more and we end up selling less... hence we rely on fucked up trade mechanisms like tarrifs.
                                                                                                                                      In your world, everyone would be making $1 an hour and they'd be whistling zippity do dah out of their asses while sucking off the boss in eternal gratitude.

                                                                                                                                      In my world, people would be paid a fair wage and be able to earn a decent (although perhaps not incredible) living.

                                                                                                                                      Someday (in the distant future) you will grow up and realize that there is more to business than dollars and cents. You will realize that people make a company work and that if you treat them like shit, you will get shit in return. You might even grasp the idea that a company should want its employees to prosper although I think that is way beyond your comprehension.

                                                                                                                                                                  If you dont pay people enough to be reasonably satsified with their lot in life, keep the car running, feed their families, pay for their kids to go to the doctor, etc you end up living among desperate people; and desperate people are dangerous.

                                                                                                                                                                  It's not just economics; it's sociology too.

                                                                                                                                                                  Company profits should be the second thing we worry about, after the sort of society we create. But instead most wealthier people just flee the cities to the suburbs, and lock themselves inside gated communites, while ghettos multiply and inch closer.

                                                                                                                                                                  or to use Phoenix as an example, you get this pattern of very affluent homes and businesses being surrounded by mexico-grade neigborhoods, where all the service employees live. You go from nice to shit to nice to shit all in few blocks. And in that sort of situation, everything ends up shit, because it's all in the radius of poor desperate people who are more likely to commit crimes, either to get what they think they need or just to act out against a world they feel is not giving them fair compensation.

                                                                                                                                                                  I'm not defending the rationale, just saying that's what happens.

There is the little matter of social responsibility.

                                                                                                                                                                          Moreover, I do believe there's a "natural" bottom threshold for wage prices.

                                                                                                                                                                          It's all about SUPPLY and DEMAND.

                                                                                                                                                                          Just because we abolish the minimum wage, it doesn't mean everyone will be stuck with $1 an hour.

                                                                                                                                                                          If you dont pay people enough to be reasonably satsified with their lot in life, keep the car running, feed their families, pay for their kids to go to the doctor, etc you end up living among desperate people; and desperate people are dangerous.

                                                                                                                                                                          It's not just economics; it's sociology too.

                                                                                                                                                                          Company profits should be the second thing we worry about, after the sort of society we create. But instead most wealthier people just flee the cities to the suburbs, and lock themselves inside gated communites, while ghettos multiply and inch closer.

                                                                                                                                                                          or to use Phoenix as an example, you get this pattern of very affluent homes and businesses being surrounded by mexico-grade neigborhoods, where all the service employees live. You go from nice to shit to nice to shit all in few blocks. And in that sort of situation, everything ends up shit, because it's all in the radius of poor desperate people who are more likely to commit crimes, either to get what they think they need or just to act out against a world they feel is not giving them fair compensation.

                                                                                                                                                                          I'm not defending the rationale, just saying that's what happens.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Moreover, I do believe there's a "natural" bottom threshold for wage prices.

                                                                                                                                                                                              It's all about SUPPLY and DEMAND.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Just because we abolish the minimum wage, it doesn't mean everyone will be stuck with $1 an hour.
                                                                                                                                                                                              Then you are more stupid than I ever thought possible. Without a minumum wage and unions, I can guarantee you that you'd see wages drop right down the shitter and along with it, our standard of living.

                                                                                                                                                                                              If you'd like to see an example of this, compare a union state to some shithole down south. The differences are astounding and funny enough, the union companies up north seem to be doing just fine.

Your first SOLUTION to ANYTHING is to have the government step in and REGULATE.

I think that the federal government should be gutted to almost nothing and these sorts of issues handled by the states.
