You should check out the CBO report.
They did a great job of covering all aspects of this debate. And by check out, I mean actually read, not rely on some article cherry picking one bad thing while ignoring everything else. Then you can check out the studies of any of the 22 times we have raised the minimum wage. Has our economy crashed yet? Quote:
Now, as suzzy has pointed out, any negative outcomes are always outweighed by the positive outcomes. Why Does the Minimum Wage Have No Discernible Effect on Employment? http://www.cepr.net/documents/public...ge-2013-02.pdf So, if you want to answer the question yourself, using the 22 different times the minimum wage was raised, feel free. Then I can respond.

Yeah, see that's the thing, the cashiers often are also the burger flippers depending on what they needs of the day are. Just because technology replaces one aspect of a workers job doesn't mean there isn't a reason to have the worker anymore.

You didn't say that? You didn't say that a 40 hour a week job for a single mother and two children with no child support sould be able to pay all of her bills without government assistance?

CEPR is defined as progressive and left-leaning. Not the kinda folks you want for an unbiased study. That and the NYTs plus a crackpot leftist named Krugman. Seriously!

Stop confusing the metrics that the federal poverty line use and lying about it to contain "all her bills."

Why are these businesses so inefficient today that their employees could be doing more than they currently are? It seems like a more efficient competitor would eat them alive.

This is why you and I went around and around - because I said a fast food worker would make the same as an entry level college graduate and your reply was basically, "So what? Why do you care?" And your evidence to show that there would be no negative impact was that there wasn't evidence that it would.

Like I said earlier. They either lie about and attack me, or attack the sources because they can never offer their own economic arguments.

Or another job created by increased consumer spending from low wage workers.

I asked him probably a dozen times what rate would keep a single mother with two kids off of government assistance and he refused to answer. But he most certainly put forth that standard.

Then inevitably comes emoticons and "you're a dumbass," etc. That's why you're a spaz. As the thread goes on the word count in your posts skyrockets and the hissy fit escalates.

Yes, I know. You can't understand that sentence, hence your confusion. Quote:

Only survival things, not most other things the economy has to offer. They're not likely to buy homes even on that raised min wage either. Especially with inflation, where they only move up any ladder in the same position they were in previously to a pay raise.
