I'm all for everyone making $15/hour baseline
Don't worry, your government is busy inflating the currency quickly enough that that will soon be worth less than what minimum wage is now (counts bitcoins).
That's why I said this:
This is good for every PERSON, just not big corporations bottom line--which we all know to be the bane of our existence today.
William Binney said it best the other day I was listening to him talk: "We are no longer a country with a government, we are a government with a country."
How would earning less in real terms be good for any person?
If you think inflation is a good thing, you haven't been reading around this forum enough.
I never said inflation to be a good thing, I simply said raising the min. wage was a good thing for every PERSON. You're welcome to go re-read it again if you think I've said anything otherwise. Inflation is something the world has to deal with, not just the U.S., especially considering the global economy is technically tied to the U.S. dollar. This guy's discussion, however, is a social one, and is not necessarily tied down to inflation, so I'm not sure why you are obsessing about it.
Ah this entire thread is too good to pass up! The OP was clearly enticing an argument, let's be clear on that. He feels one way, provided little to no factual data to back up his argument, then invites an opinion. Clearly it will not serve to convince you of anything.
