U.S. Wages Down 23% Since 2008

[Option D]

fucking retarded

[Straw Man]

yeah, low wages are great so long as the taxpayer doesn't end up subsidizing the employer with ten dollars for every one they pay (the real cost of illegals)

Luckily I make 50% more now than I did in 2008 but that's a sobering statistic

Actually cities and states with higher minimum wages have the most amount of economic growth

2014 Job Creation Faster in States that Raised the Minimum Wage

There is plenty of evidence that Republicans are not in favor of higher wages in spite of the fact (or maybe because) it's been shown to spur economic growth.

The premise of the idiot who started this thread is that wages are down and somehow that's Obama's fault or that some of us "blame "still blame palin w Romney et al"

wtf does that even mean.  What exactly would we be blaming Palin and Romney for in regards to this topic.  Neither of them ever even held national office.

The mental patient who started this thread is actually himself in favor of lower wages (again in spite of the evidence that higher wages are better for everyone)

This is just one of 1000's of thread on this board that are completely void of any meaning or coherence and only exist so that our resident mental patient can calm the OCD monkey on his back for a few minutes

I can't help it the republicans flipflopped on this issue.  45 of them?   LOL sheesh.

I live in washington, and that min wage stat us a little misleading....

A huge factor has to do with out manufacturing base in Boeing, also Microsoft, and Amazon.

Boeing has created shit tons of jobs because they have a record backlog of plane orders right now, so all the small ccontrators are tooling up and highering tons of employees to fuel them same with Amazon.

So no, the min wage isnt really whats driving economic growth here. ...

Also, when they passed the 15/hr min wage bill,  a bunch of the companies that were under that umbrella discharged numbers of employees and moved to automated systems to take orders.

I lol'd.

Dolt, this business commonsense as to what would happen. If I had a business that was forced to pay a higher wage, I would have to raise my cost of goods and services. Business would be affected BIG TIME. What part are you not understanding?

Anything that affects my bottom line affects my business. Every new entitlement, every new tax, every time that asshole decides to take $100mil vacations.

It affects some of my clientele that own businesses which in turn....affects my business. I could go on if you like but since you have a degree in finance which I'm sure includes some business basics, you should know this, but kinda doubt it.
