It must be a magical time to be a racist

Why doesn't he build a hotel there? It is very reasonable real estate and if he is magic, why can't he make Detroit great, again? Start there, Trump and then I will be a believer.

perhaps because no one wants to go to the inner city for a vacation........

So "Democrats made the blacks poor by shipping out jobs that they could have competed for and then hiring illegals for the rest"?

No Republicans ever offshored or hired illegals?

do you deliberately avoid the point or did it just slip past you......the blacks weren't voting for the Republicans, they were for the Democrats.......

No, I'm saying when you raise the rate higher there will generally be less jobs at those rates which creates the higher barrier to entry. The number of people you can higher, and would take on a risk on hiring, at $7 is much more than at $15/hr. So the people that don't get hired are those "at risk"

Well then why not give a tax break to the business owner for the difference when they hire a full time employee at $15/hour and eliminate the barrier?

I don't understand. Minimum means smallest possible. Are you saying young black men can't even qualify for the minimum as burger flippers or car washers? Are they supposed to work for less than minimum?

minimum wage doesn't refer to the smallest possible, it refers to the smallest legal.......

Pretty interesting how you call out Dems yet support their Keynsian economic positions

It may have something to do with the fact that Keynesian economics work and supply side economics has never, ever, ever shown that first time that any of it's predictions ever come true.

They would but at that rate there will be less jobs doing the work that was available at say $7. Does that make sense?

There's two competing interests with the minimum wage. You hear people talk about a "living wage" and that someone who has a family should be able to support them on a minimum wage salary.

But for young kids minimum wage jobs are about making money yes, but it's more about experience. And at the higher rate young "at risk" kids have less of an opportunity to get that experience. That's where they get hurt.

You have no evidence that that would be the case and as I've pointed out, that barrier can easily be eliminated.

Democrats, you make me laugh, it wasn't just the Dems, both parties had a hand in passing the trade bills and allowing our high paying industries to go overseas.

nobody "allowed" industries to go over seas......nobody can stop them.......but they wouldn't have gone if corporate taxes hadn't been some of the highest in the world and we all know who we can thank for higher taxes........

Most young people live at home so they don't have to support themselves. The minimum wage was never suppose to be a wage for a grown up to live off of

Yet our economy has declined to a state where the stereotype of the minimum wage worker being the young person living with their parents is no longer the reality. The median person making minimum wage now is a 30 year old single mom.

You're wrong Wacko. That's another one of those modern GOP "If I say something often enough it becomes true" talking points. The minimum wage was created to provide a labor floor for remuneration that provided a minimum standard of living that provided for the basic necessities of life and to provide stability to the economy. At least that was the stated reasoning for the creation of the minimum wage by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
