    I can't warrant that. I see and respond. The grave dig was a JPP suggestion of related content.
    You comment incited my response.

    Oh and Sailor, fuck off, idiot.

    Not really a merits based response. Maybe an allusion to Lenin? I've never been able to reconcile owners of the means of production opposing minimum wage
    as a principle of freedom but assert organization of labor does not also arise from their freedom. What are union wages?
    I bet it averages more than $15. $50 per hour?

    That a human being should be paid an amount that is sufficient to survive if all his/her efforts are devoted to his master's business
    is a far better a priori formulation of master servant relations than I can pay labor a little or much as I choose or can get away with.

    Yawn. Look Micawber, there is no way anyone will pay you the current minimum wage let alone $15 an hour. You have no skills. No education. Stay with the public assistance you are obviously on. It really is all you have and brought to you by real working people and capitalism.

    yes it will. Glad you understand that much economics. It will increase demand. Demand is what creates jobs. The people will spend it and companies will hire and expand to keep up with the accelerated demand.

    It loses low paying jobs. The jobs for the most vulnerable. The ones you claim to care about most. If it worked as you claim every state and city would be raising it

    All this talk about raising the minimum wage is just increasing jobs in the robotics field.

    It’s going to happen anyway, that is just an excuse for wages to be held low while CEO’s pays rise.

    If it works so well why aren't more progressive dominated cities raising it even higher? CEO pay is irrelevant to this. It doesn't change the fundamentals of the minimum wage. And most jobs are with small businesses where the owners don't make big bucks.

    Yes we should set policy from a guy whose newspaper holdings require the workers to be "independent contractors" so they aren't entitled to squat and the good Warren doesn't have to pay any payroll taxes on them, all while continuously jacking up subscription prices.

    You're business killers. Now get your ass back to the soup line, where it belongs.
    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    When the prices you pay for things go up and offset the increased wage, we're right back where was are now. Low skilled whiners demanding something they can't earn based on those low skills.
