Seattle put in place a $15/hour minimum because they said people needed a living wage and wanted to earn their way. When those higher wages started causing a reduction in handouts, rather than being honorable and doing what we were told they would do, those pieces of shit asked for fewer hours so the handouts wouldn't be cut. So much for the Liberal claim that freeloaders like these DEMOCRATS want to earn their way.
Dear JPP Reader:
The problem with the $15 minimum wage is that it was not supported by a 100% flight tax. Oh, and corporations are free to set up shop wherever they want.

Dear CFM:
That's very forthright!
Of course as competing companies reduce laborers' pay to $2/day, it becomes necessary to slash wages yet again just to remain competitive. Two dollars an hour today, one dollar an hour tomorrow, then one dollar a day, and so forth.
How does one build a first world economy on that basis? You don't! Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon rightly notes that the US has entered a stage of permanent economic stagnation, expanding social inequality and poverty.
Moreover, there is absolutely nothing Paul Krugman can do to stop it!
Marxists have long said that workers cannot be paid a living wage under Capitalism; but it isn't every day you meet Capitalist exponents who cede Marx' point. Again, thank-you for your forthrightness.

It's called paying someone what their skills are worth. You talk about social inequality and poverty yet seem to be saying businesses/capitalism are the causes of it. If someone brings only low level skills to the table, that's not the fault of the one doing the paying, it's the fault of the one doing the bringing of the skills. If someone doesn't want to be poor, provide something worth paying for in the way of skills.
