Quote from: Biggie Smiles on June 07, 2024, 12:19:20 PMMeanwhile in 1950 the federal minimum wage was 0.75 an hour

and people owned 4 bedroom houses on single earner incomes with 3 or more dependents

today the minimum wage for restaurant workers is 20.00 in California and they'd be lucky if they could barely exist on their own in someone's garage with no bathroom or running water on that salary.

Now tell me Democrats aren't attacking this problem backwards.

"We have to increase the minimum wage to compensate for all the inflation our past minimum wage increases caused!"

This is once again another game of fluff, smoke and mirrors with these assholes on the left. It's there to give the facade that they are for the average person

and people are dumb enough to buy it too.

You need 75.00 bucks an hour to just eek across the poverty line in Cali today. And once the ripple effects of this disastrous policy REALLY start to take hold you're going to need 90.00 bucks an hour.

it will all self adjust with the end result being far worse than the original

watch

I admit that raising the minimum wage is not giving people a boost in their living standards anymore.

Jesus Christ.  California Democrats want to give illegal aliens criminals, who cannot legally work in the US, state employment.  In violation of Federal laws.

Democrats want illegal aliens because they want them to vote illegally.

BTW San Diego is getting absolutely flooded by illegal aliens knowingly committing asylum fraud.  The State level Democrats are doing absolutely everything in their power to encourage it too.

of course they do. How else will they be able to rig the census and garner for themselves more seats in the house?

That was never the reason why leftists want to raise the minimum wage.

As Margaret Thatcher said, you eventually run out of other people's money.
