FUCK the minimum wage!!!!

[Mr. Marks]

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

[Wrestlingdiva]

Yeah whatever tell that to the influx of migrant workers who stay, and take all the minimum wage jobs, and drop the other manual labor jobs to new lows.

I can't even find a job at minimum wage right now its so bad. The mall isn't even hiring!!!

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!

[twistyneck]

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.

[newsdude]

Minimum wage won't even be enough for a decent living!

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.

God you're retarded. The purpose of employees is to create a profit and if you can't pay your people a decent wage, then you are in the wrong business and/or you have shitty management.

yeah and pay them $2.50 an hour so they will have to work their ass off 16hr's a day to feed their family, because there is no min wage job

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.

Of course they're going to buy sheet metal because they NEED it. How in the fuck are they gonna build a car without metal? 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.

That is the point that papichulo was trying to make.

And with enough of that, there won't be anybody left that can afford to buy their cars.

Depends on what kind of business you're in. 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.

Economics.

according to my economics class, minimum wage does create more widespread unemployment. its one of those things that backfires and bites us in the ass

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.

There will ALWAYS be people with money. Even back in the depression in the 20's, there were plenty of people who lived a very comfortable life.

We're just coming out of a bad recession where unemployment was high...Did I PERSONALLY suffer from it? No...I was still getting checks every week as I am now while others were happy to get a minimum wage job....

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.

I'm sure those working for minimum wage have so many complaints the government won't even bother with.

Wow! You do listen in class!

[detoxed]

lets all argue some more

[CamChicks]

$5.15 x 40 hours = $206 /week
$206 x 52 weeks = $10,712 /year

10K a year for working full time with no vacations?
people are worth more than that.

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.

You are utterly clueless.

It's cheaper to dump used oil in the river than to dispose of it properly, does that make it right?

It's cheaper to sell cars that blow up than to fix them, does that make it right?

It's cheaper to sell flammable baby clothes than to recall them, does that make it right?

So by way of three examples that even the most retarded person can grasp, you can see that business is not all about dollars and cents. There is the little matter of social responsibility.

[Mr. Marks]

Actually, if there's no minimum wage, wages will gravitate to their "natural" price based on your skills.

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.

Actually, I would agree with you on that. I think that the federal government should be gutted to almost nothing and these sorts of issues handled by the states.

[blackmonsters]

There is no "bottom" to the minimum wage.
I had homeless people in LA wiling to work all day for $5.00!
$5.00 is nothing but $5.00 worth of food is still more than $0.
A pack of smokes and a bag of beans is worth getting up for
when you're starving. But talk about an unreliable group of morons!!! I should have paid more and hired better.

You gotta spend money to make money; anyone ever hear
that? Well you might have to spend some on the employees.

Low wage earners quit all the time to find something better so then
the company spends $2000 by tying up other employees to hire and train the new guy that will quit in 3 weeks also causing them to spend another $2000.

Smart employers pay more; because they know this already.
Minimum wage is just for businesses that are still stupid enough to believe they make more thru exploitation of people. They didn't get the message back in the 1800's "it's more profitibale and productive to pay people who want to work than it is to keep trying to capture escaped slaves and investing in slaves that simply committed suicide to fuck you on your investment".

I saw a sign posted for McDonalds hiringing at $9.00 an hour.
McD's is tired of people quitting and tired of only getting morons to apply that have to be fired anyway because it's fucking up their overall productivity. "If we pay enough to hire someone
with a brain who speaks good english then they wont fuck the order up and the customer will come back"... Get it?

Shitty wages attract shitty emlployees who make the business shitty and people with money to spend avoid them like the plague.
