Greetings Fellow Infidels!
So Massachusetts has done it to us again! We've had to put up with Teddy Kennedy and Barney Frank for over 40 years and now we have Elizabeth Warren, the new U-S Senator from that left-wing looney-bin and she heads the list. On our website www.newsraiosavannah.com you'll see her pontificating over and wondering why our minimum wage isn't $22/hour! As if that were not bad enough, she's grilling some economics professor from U-Mass (or someplace) who said with the rate of inflation and the rise of the income of those hated 1-percenters, the minimum wage would actually be $33/hour. Just hope that cretin's paycheck is gift-wrapped by the university.
Let's be clear there should be NO MINIMUM WAGE--period! What an employer pays someone should be whatever the company feels they're worth for that particular job and it should be none of the government's business. A minimum wage is a job killer. Apparently these sub-morons who've never run a business in their lives, yet feel they know better than those who do, think they can just sign some legislation and it all happens by magic. Businesses don't have vaults full of money they're keeping away from their employees. If a business is forced to pay higher wages with no appreciable up-tick in customers they have to raise prices, cut one's hours or lay people off. Minimum wage (since we do have it) is a starting job, it was never intended to be a "living wage." If you're good at your job you get promoted within the first six months and now you're making more money. The better you get the further up your wages go till perhaps one day you're CEO. That's the American Dream and how it's suppose to work. Not the government telling companies and businesses how much a starting salary should be. But congressmen must think that since their funds appear inexhaustible, companies and businesses must be also...well..they don't and unlike the government can't print their own either.
Just remember that unions have a salary increase every time the minimum wage goes up. That should explain a few things don't you think?
See ya!
