[QUOTE="Avid, post: 68584683, member: 339412"] The reason we should not make it $27 is the same reason it should not have been instituted or ever raised. My first minimum wage job was for a little over a $1/hr. I did not have any perspective at the time, but only saw the immediate effect of having a few extra pennies!!! Was just on the other side of that very thing with someone else. However, I have made the point of the video in my text. On the other hand, I am asked if I was asking a question!!! We can both do better... :) We can discuss how to change that. It is a separate issue, though. Causing half of ANY group to be unemployed because of the gov.program that "promises" to help them is where the problem lies. Dr. Sowell (35 years ago) confronted someone asking a similar question about why you enter that discussion in the middle. [INDENT][INDENT][MEDIA=youtube]2GklCBvS-eI[/MEDIA][/INDENT][/INDENT] Let us start looking at what caused this (not slavery, not Jim Crow, etc.,) and address how to fix it. At the same time, let us NOT make more mistakes that cause more or worse situations like these! Have you ever run a business? Do you think an $8 employee costs the employer $8/hr? I worked in the engineering office for a small municipality for a number of years. It was proven by straight-up comparison (on more than one occasion) that I produced in a week what would cost that city what they paid me in a year to get an outside firm to do. If someone making $8/hr. does not make a whole lot more for that employer than the $8 wage he gets, the employer may be looking to replace him!!! [/QUOTE]
