Raising the minimum wage on any business without knowing the direct cost of each unique individual business is irresponsible and reckless. Only a fool would challenge this thought, let alone implement this.

I'm a libertarian. I don't want govt telling us how much is too much. I don't want govt to tell me how much i have to pay an employee. I hear idiots wanting to empower the government to penalize people for being successful, for creating jobs and spending their wealth. How stupid. People that support high taxes for the rich are jealous. Reality TV has promoted schadenfreude (taking pleasure in seeing someone "kicked off the island", "fired", "rejected" by a bachelor or bachelorette. Instead of promoting compassion, the media breeds jealousy, deceit, bad values.

Why should we penalize anyone for success? I can't understand how anyone could be stupid enough to fall in line with what many dims on the far left are espousing: tax the rich up to 70%. S-T-U-P-I-D! Where do the jobs come from? From those flipping burgers? Those on welfare? Nope. It's the well off that buy properties, fix them up, adding jobs in the process and selling them. It's the well off that create more business and create more jobs. Yes. I know the small business owners create lots of jobs too. But the small business owner is typically not the one flipping burgers for minimum wage. They are typically well educated, have some dough to begin with. I know often they struggle to succeed, but making money always involves sweat of one kind of another. I ask my brothers and sisters on UHH to think about the nonsense that is being espoused by aoc, bernie, etc. Free. Free. Free. Who pays? Penalize the successful through taxation. Someone explain the logic.

Corporations greedy??? Wow! Of course, in day to day life, don't you make decisions to minimize your dollar outflow? Save 29 cents by buying the store brand instead of the national brand. Drive an extra distance to save 30 cents/gal for gas. Corps do/think the same way. Nothing wrong with that. When corps do well, stockholders do well through higher dividend returns. Seems like a good formula to me. And some of you want to restrict corp income for lower dividends? Some want corps to pay higher wages? That means lower dividends, too. No one is forced to work at any one job. This is free market. Those with drive move on to better wages through hard work and reward or by changing jobs. I suspect many of those that want higher taxes for the rich are just hurting for money themselves.

Actually the feds are greedy.
Charge for gasoline they didn't discover, recover, refine, ship, or sell yet they get a cut.
They steal my money for payment to illegals and other lazy people.
Corporations provide jobs. And if you don't like the job don't take it. You know the pay up front and choose to contract for that pay with eyes wide open.

Sounds like the employees were lacking the skills to”make, “themselves “,”,more valuable.
Union wages are the same as minimum wage, they were contrived by someone who does not have vested
interest in the business. Free market. Learn about it before you reply....

One thing democrats are too stupid to understand is the high cost of having an employee.
example the employer pays employment taxes, the other half of the social security the employee pays and a bunch of other costs amounting to about the same amount the employee is being paid. So 15 per hour comes to 30 per hour.

Are you talking about denying yourself first aid? Because you were on a union job?

Somthing else to consider. Higher taxes on the wealthy, who already pay most of the federal taxes collected , will only send more money overseas.
