The problem with raising minimum wage is that within a few months, consumer prices have invariably risen enough to cancel out the raise, meanwhile, those who make more than minimum wage find themselves with less disposable income.

Wages are a private business agreement between employers and employees.
Government has no constitutional authority to meddle in private business agreements.

Amen, Amen, Amen. It is just another way they keep interjecting themselves into our lives for our own good because we are all i***ts and wouldn't be able to make in this world until the age of 30 without the constant interference from all of the do-gooders out there. You have Bloomberg keeping soda out of the hands of the obese and you Moochelle starve the kids in school because its good for them to not eat to much junk food. What happened to freedom and whoever told these i***ts that we even wanted their help.

So why does raising the minimum wage to a livable wage result in inflation, but paying a ceo 8.5 million plus benefits, not result in inflation?
Sounds like more conservative financial and econmic lies, brought to you by the fools at faux.

It was always nice to know you got your raise because you worked hard and went the extra mile to warrant it. I always wondered about the ones who joined a union because I always thought why can't they get a raise for themselves instead of throwing their lot in with the lazy and shiftless and getting their raise by collectively refusing to work. They should go out and work hard and prove their worth so that their manager wants to give them more money as an incentive to the rest of the crew, that if you work hard you can move up and succeed.

What does one have to do with the other? I don't believe in paying CEOs outrageous money, but their bonuses, in the unlikely event these jerks deserve them, have nothing to do with fueling inflation. Raising minimum wage does. It temporarily helps those at the bottom, until said inflation catches up. Then, the majority of workers who make more than minimum wage are left with less buying power, because they did not get a raise.

John Stossel had a show awhile back on Fox business news where they disused the minimum wage issue and I remember him as well as several of his guests say that they got their first job and didn't receive any financial compensation. But they did get to sit under what were classified as people who really knew there profession and it was an internship and that they learned volumes from these individuals and helped them go on and create great careers for themselves and that they were blessed for these opportunities. But you just can't put a price tag on a job as sometimes the future benefits far outweigh any small salary at the time.
