Fast Food and Minimum Wage

I am saying to you poster Mercor that the business in the USA (need) low skill, low talent, low education worker to pay low wage to. They need that of cheap labor, but they need to say that labor is not worth to pay more money to. Really just greed.
 
Quote from Mercor:

From a businessman perspective, did the labor have anything to do with productivity gains? Why should I pay more for a worker to stand by and watch a machine work.
I have made large investments in sophisticated machinery, money that would have gone to the worker if the worker was as productive as my new machine.
The demands on my worker have probably gone down from what he was doing several years ago.

What business do you have mercor, do you own a fast food franchise?
 
how many jobs were lost? How high did unemployment go when we raised min wage to $7.25? How low would unemployment be if we just had a maximum wage of $7.25/hr?
 
otherwise, I agree with Obama. Can you even imagine how much the New York Yankees could make if the maximum they could pay their players was $10.10 per hour?

I mean, why not just take all non performing workers (and by non performing, I mean workers who are not paid on their performance, like salesman on commission or traders) and just average their wages, and make that the minimum/maximum federal wage?
 
yeah, everyone wants to bitch about the minimum wage, but nobody wants to talk about the maximum wage. That's because they are two faced hypocrites. They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

ok, I'm done
 
Quote from piezoe:

Exactly. That's what makes the idea of treating the U.S. States as though they were independent countries so ludicrous.

Ludicrous to left wing, big government types like yourself, sure.

It doesn't work in Europe because of the aforementioned issues - hence why your comparison to Europe is not an apples to apples one. But it absolutely works here (when allowed to by the Feds) and it was designed to work as such.

"The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution makes all “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

You ARE of course correct. But don't forget pie hole is of the opinion the Constitution should be burned so we can write a new. More to his liking, of course.
