It has to be raised every once in a while. It doesn't weaken the economy, it adds more money in the pockets of low wage earners who live paycheck to paycheck meaning they spend all their earnings, putting it all back into the economy.
I'll wait for pseudo economists and fear mongers to cry about this (not that this is new anyways).

Raising minimum wage is bad for the workers who will be laid off to compensate for money being allocated to workers wage. Companies and businesses will compensate for that raise in wage. It's just a fact of business. They're not just going to settle for a lower profit. They'll end up raising prices of goods, lay people off, change their production method, etc.

So, needs of the business outweigh the needs of the person? lol

Would you rather work for $7.80/hr or not work for $0.00/hr?

Does it really matter if $7.80 can't pay your bills?

The business is the one doing the hiring, so obviously they'll take their profits before hiring someone else. But it's already been conformed you're a troll, so I'm done here.

I'm a troll because I think people should be paid enough to live? Odd.
-
No, you're a troll because you have no idea how economics work and keep making dumb and baseless statements.

Fucking lol. Good game.

Without a healthy business environment you don't have a healthy job market.

But if you don't pay your workers enough to participate in the marketplace, you're losing customers.

Depends on the business. Employees at a call center making minimum wage would not consume the product of their employer. In all likelihood, neither would employees in retail like Nordstrom or Gap. And even for businesses that do, their employees make up such a small fragment of their possible customer pool.

It's a forum full of kids. Everyone here has a doctorate and is smarter than Richard Dawkins and NDT.
