ricka, I find it odd that a man who lives off of SS and Medicare would post about minimum wage. Have you received more than you paid in yet? I hope you're saying that you stand behind it.

The greatest country in the worlds history prolly should have a minimum wage. How much it is, of course, is debatable.

Do we really want collusion, and wage fixing by companies?

If the democrats and republicans really cared about workers wages, they would stop the flow of low wage workers flooding across the southern border. Anything else about this topic that comes out of their pie holes is party fluff and total BS.

I saw a headline the other day stating all jobs created in the last decade went to immigrant workers.

Working at the airport, I can attest to the HUNDRED's of Africans that have been hired lately, plus, All the Indian workers that are flooding into Our Country.

We're being invading across Mexico, and through New York JFK . . .

As a practical matter minimum wage needs to be increased to allow people that are willing to work to not have to also collect welfare to survive. I have no desire to subsidize any companies labor force with taxes paid. Why should anyone subsidize a company? Also I do not think the effect of raising minum wage would have as devastating of an effect on prices as many do. I did the math for a few scenarios, posted 1 scenario in a previous OP. If my math was accurate the overall increase would be around 6%. I can live with that.
