Since we're talking about things that were never supposed to be, lets talk about the globalist traitors who put maximizing profits above the well-being of their fellow countrymen with their idiotic globalist trade policies of offshoring, outsourcing, and targeted immigration designed to import more desperate workers to lower the wages in well paid industries.

Im not a liberal, but increasing the minimum wage would greatly stimulate the economy, more than just allowing rich people to keep more blood money. Why? Poor people will put all of it back into the economy, just buying enough stuff to get by, while the rich just keep it in their offshore tax havens, where it just sits.
Who are the takers ? High corporate muckety mucks and rich people who consider writing emails to be "work".

Class warfare? Fucking yes it is. But who started it?

Well, then using your argument, wouldn't raising the minimum wage to $40/hour stimulate the shit out of the economy?
As for what "the corporate muckety mucks and rich people" do with their money, why is it any of your business?
Sammy Jankis
Was it me?
Yes it would be great. Im all for a 40/ hr minimum wage.
Part of talking about economics is talking about human behavior, trends, impacts, and stuff. Would you please learn to be non-idiotic?
The "it's none of your business" argument is flaccid in all areas.

we've all heard and seen how raising minimum wage affects the job market. wouldn't we be better off by letting the prices of goods and services decrease in value to bring prices to a more servicable level? wouldn't that also make minimum wage more livable?
You're the one who looks foolish here not me!
Your original statement indicates that states don't have any control over the minimum wage, but they already do. Either you are being intentionally obtuse or you lack the intellectual acuity to clearly and concisely make your point.
You claimed that raising the minimum wage inflates prices but the minimum wage actually hasn't kept up with inflation. In other words, inflation hasn't been a result of raising the minimum wage; the inflation has occurred before the minimum wage was raised to keep up with inflation. The minimum wasn't raised for 10 years yet inflation continued throughout the whole period. Hard to blame ten years of inflation on the one price in society that didn't increase over that period--the minimum cost of labor.
Generally if A causes B one would logically assume that A existed first; when B exists before A it is counter-intuitive and downright ignorant to argue that A caused B!

I would certainly let it happen. How do we do that?

remove most of the congressional power over the economy. like subsidies and such. less gov spending.

Sounds kind of vague, and sort of out of context of where we are right now. I don't disagree with all of it. It's not an excessive minimum wage that is inflating prices.

Let's all get honest here, the only acceptable economic system to powerful elitist is one where life gets harder for most people, so the population is kept in check.
We are ruled by democidal maniacs.

So it is your business what other people do with their money? The essence of freedom is not relevant to you? People have to spend their money in ways you approve or be coerced by the gobblement?
As for raising it to $40, you should send a memo to your boy Obummer. He only wants to raise it a little.
I mean lets get this party started baby. I mean lets raise the cost of labor by $31/hour with no commensurate increase in productivity or output. That should work out fucking great
