  • If that happens, watch prices on everything rise, people get layed off, and getting hired much more difficult

  • The rich are the elite. They keep the wheels turning and greased. Everyone else is expendable and replaceable. For every 1 death, 3 new people are born. Someone will always settle for scraps when they already have nothing so why pay more? (Not saying it's right just this is rich people mentality and it's an unfair system but it works)

    It's so easy to be the poor man screaming at the rich. Just as it's easy to be the child screaming at the actual adults who pay taxes.

          • You're an idiot for thinking that minimum skills require $15 an hour. Minimum skill=minimum wage

            • Just a reminder, you only have to make about $60,000 a year to be one of the evil "1%ers" this video is talking about.

              I'm actually curious; from were does the $15 come from? Why is that the established amount considered enough?

            • So? As a college student, I think that my salary would fit me in the middle class until I'm around 30. We all know that the middle class suffers the most from higher taxes since the poor don't pay for crap and the rich have several tax breaks. With this in mind, I'd rather not have more money sucked out of my pocket, and I wouldn't vote for a socialist who thinks that a fast food worker should earn almost as much as my brother who is an EMT working in ambulances saving lives.

              • 15 dollars an hour means prices have to be raised, in theory less people will go wherever this is meaning people will be laid off so rip in jobs

              • Taxation of the rich makes sense (to a certain degree) but raising minimum wage is probably not the answer.

                    • I would rather have the country tax them and penalize them for storing there money offshore. No more tax cuts for the rich. They don't need the break.
