Of course any "min. wage" is not enough to support a "family".....said wage is for those who have no skills, for those just entering into the workforce...i.e, snot nosed teens and or those looking to support some type of retirement income. Its not intended to support a family. The continual raising of wages for unskilled workers simply cause "inflation" and a proven reduction in the workforce where entry level positions exist. It's like a dog chasing its own tail...every time a raise is mandated by the politicians that are attempting to purchase votes....the price of goods and services simply go up.
What? Does anyone actually expect the Business Person to eat these costs when he/she can and does simply pass on the cost to the public at large? There is no reason and logic on the left....its like FREE SHIT....nothing is FREE someone somewhere must pay for the free shit.
If you want to get ahead in this society....you sure as hell are not going to do it being satisfied with any entry level position. Get an education, get a skill and then sell those skills/trades to the highest bidder...its the way it works unless BIG BROTHER insists upon sticking his nose about a foot up the private sector's asshole.
Every war, every recession, every work problem this nation has seen is always demonstrable to rest at the feet of the so called progressives who simply know more than the average person...or so they say, in the quest for SOCIAL JUSTICE.
For instance....the so called GREAT DEPRESSION was extended to over a decade...the entirety of FDR presidencey, it was not until the 2nd WW....that the recession finally ended in spite of the all the left wing interference that saw the average unemployment rate remain static in the mid to upper teens for a decade or more....with more wall st. crashes.
Why it is the fault of the progressives? Ever hear of the great wall st. crash of the early 20s? Off course not....why? Because the politicians left their proverbial noses out the private sectors ass and allowed the market to SELF CORRECT.....for those that were responsible to FAIL...to sell of their businesses to those more qualified....there was none TO BIG TO FAIL...and what happened next? The Roaring 20s.....but then comes another market correction at the end of the decade...and what happens. BIG BROTHER COMES TO THE RESCUE.....with one liberal interference after another, to include FDR's NEW COMMUNIST DEAL where he loaded the supreme court with liberals in order to circumvent the PEOPLE's REPRESENTATIVES in CONGRESS....the result, A GREAT DEPRESSION.
