Quote:Inflation is the problem you guys are trying to address by raising the minimum wage. Problem is inflation has to rise and it's going to start rising much faster in the very near future, if you try and tie a wage floor to that rate we're going to have a very big problem with inflation becoming a multiplier.


How else does anyone think we intend to just service the interest on 17 trillion? Inflation is the plan rising bottom level wages is only going to double down the inflation faster. I don't like it but it's the reality of where we are and where we're headed.


I'm not advocating eliminating the minimum wage in today's environment we have to many mega corporations for that, I'm simply saying we go messing with it to much and it's going to make maters worse. It's a very delicate balance we're dealing with over the next 20 years, the dollars not as strong as where lead to believe.

That's the problem. You admit there is a problem but your solution is to let the poorest suffer. The rich get richer an poor get poorer. You can't stop the rich from accumulating more wealth and really they shouldn't be stopped. What we can do is help those stuck at the bottom.


I'm lucky to have lower middle class parents probably not unlike yourself that sacrificed for 20 years so I could have a chance to better myself. My life is better for their sacrifice. I watched them struggle. I argue that giving a third or more of yourself and your life so your progeny can have a better life than yourself should not only be not be necessary but should be frowned upon by society not lauded.
