LOL...They should raise the minimum wage to $50

Lol. You're pretty smart. Show me your economic model that forcing businesses to pay more than the market rate for labor increases hiring from within that pool. And show me how it directly stimulates the economy.

Minimum wage increases have little to no effect employment. This trend has held true throughout decades of minimum wage increases at both the federal and state level. Raising the minimum wage is about helping people get out of poverty and off public assistance. Many minimum wage workers currently rely on public assistance or the EITC. We -- the taxpayers -- are helping their employers keep their costs down. Not exactly fair.

The vast majority of small businesses pay above the minimum wage. The focus of this debate is the bad actors -- the Walmarts, McDonalds, etc -- who pay rates that workers can't live on and then encourage their employees to access public assistance so that they can get by. It's crazy.

Secondarily, workers making more does benefit the economy. See Maynard, Keynes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes

You want to "fix" our economy? Turn your sights on the billions and billions of dollars of corporate welfare we dole out each year. Bitching about the minimum wage, besides being petty, is just fucking small time.

John Maynard Keynes = Fucktard

Milton Friedman = Brilliant

HTH

Back to the original post.....if you think the minimum wage is supposed to be some living wage you can raise a family on your are shooting way to low. You need to get to 15-20 and mandate 40 hours. It about as stupid to argue for it as it is against it. Most people don't aspire to make a career out of a minimum wage. Its an entry level wage or a wage for teenagers and college students. Our President should be trying to fix the fucking economy. The middle class isn't built on making the minimum wage. Its built on good jobs that we don't have.
