    Default The $15 Minimum Wage Moves Social Security To Solvency

    Think about it.

    All those low wage workers will be earning more. They will be getting bigger paychecks. Those checks will have withholding taken out of them. There will be more money going into Social Security. That will help move SS more towards solvency.

    if what you say is true then why not $30 and hour. That would set us up for life. How about $50 and hour? Even better right?

    The $15 min wage is one of the best things we can do to help Americans improve their lives.

    Why not $20 or $30 an hour then? $100 would make everyone rich then right?

    No, 100 dollars an hour would NOT make everyone rich.
    Rich people have incomes well in excess of that.

    Industries that cannot give their employees a livable wage, to get back to the point,
    needn't continue to exist in their current form. They don't support civilized society.

    So why not pay people $100 an hour? What is a "livable wage" and how did you arrive at that number? Monologuing is not a rational argument.

    Some monologues may be argent, as you originally wrote before your edit, but mine are auric.

    No discussion is required to see that the current minimum wage is clearly not "livable."

    Why are you leftists such cowards? What constitutes a "liveable wage"? If you can't answer that's fine just admit you people use those labels as nothing more than rhetoric. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about but it makes you feel better. This is why I treat leftists the way I do. Will you answer the question or not? Stop wasting everyone's fucking time if you don't intend to just say so.

    Inflation is very damaging to the fabric of society, and we are already the most broken we have ever been.

    BUCKLE UP!
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    A LIVING WAGE


    not paying your employe to cover their basic needs is cheating the system


    The PEOPLE end up making up the difference in aid


    They are robbing us all
