21. is the data cited wrong?
Sun Dec 4, 2016, 12:19 AM
Dec 2016

which is why I said there was nothing in the data he shared for me to question it...And on top of all the subsidies businesses receive, why is this still an issue? All these businesses can't just be greedy and morally decrepit right? either they can meet the costs or they should shut down - which will cost jobs.

And who decides what the perfect minimum wage ceiling should be ? why $15? Why not $24 ( as I would prefer- I'd LOVE wages to rise) My issue is implementing an immediate hike, set by legislative fiat, and the unintended consequences of doing so ..

I edited my previous post by adding that even Bernie acknowledged in the debates that there would be a fall on effect on prices- (price inflation) even though he dismissed it nonchalantly ( he should not have). But It makes sense- higher costs in hiring results in businesses finding ways to cover expenses. This isn't even arguable. That businesses will see decreased profits - this is not even arguable - they WILL find ways to circumvent this by one of the ways I mentioned.
