Is a $15/Hour Minimum Wage Unreasonable?

Excerpt:

 

“The long and short of it is that a 25 cent per hour minimum wage in 1933, had roughly the same buying power as $14.00-$18.00/hour does today.

Unadulterated corporate greed and the feminist movement have largely contributed to the wage problems of today. WWII showed us that women could do jobs that were traditionally considered men’s jobs. When the feminist movement pushed for unlimited access for women in the workplace, that doubled the available labor pool and drove down the wage an employer needed to pay because he now had a large surplus labor pool. Today’s influx of illegal aliens has further driven down wages.”

      You’d think the unions would run with this.

      I love it! The Old “Blame the women and Mexicans for the whole mess” game.

      • Mike Shields

        Well, yes CowPie, ultimately it’s the zionists, but I mention the lesser violators too.

        • CrowPie

          I’m not giving you any more clicks than this……so……I just pointed out the most glaring and idiotic statement. Although it did cross my mind to take your ‘article’ apart bit by bit.

          However I find you tiresome. Most readers here have made up their minds one way or another and will not hear logical discussion on the subject. Therefore it would be a was of my time.

          I doesn’t make you any less of a bigot.

        • CrowPie

          Sorry, that last line should read….It doesn’t make those making statements such as those in your article…

          ” WWII showed us that women could do jobs that were traditionally considered men’s jobs. When the feminist movement pushed for unlimited access for women in the workplace, that doubled the available labor pool and drove down the wage an employer needed to pay because he now had a large surplus labor pool. ”

          ….any less of a bigot.

          Apologies.

          Crow, sometimes truth sucks. Wages are largely determined by the available labor pool.

          Let’s say I own a fast food joint and put out a help wanted sign. I then get no applicants. Eventually, I have to go to other fast food joints and try to lure away their employees. They will have no desire to leave their current employer for less money than they are currently making.

          Now turn this around and say that I have 20 applicants after posting that I need help. With that much available labor, I can pay no more than minimum wage. If I choose to hire someone who is in the country illegally—an illegal alien as opposed to an “undocumented worker” I can pay them less than minimum wage.

          I am always puzzled by the stupidity of most Dimocrats who support unchecked immigration. Unchecked immigration only benefits big business (and some smaller businesses too). If we removed everyone who is illegally in the U.S. we would be not only at full employment, but be at a slight labor shortage, which would drive up base wages. In the long term, wealso need to cut the world wide population by 5 billion or so……….to the showers with them all!!!
