Why do americans hate being paid a living wage?
The money comes from my taxes
>>537295808Because we understand that the free market already pays people what they deserve. Literally no-one in my area (except maybe illegals being exploited) works for minimum wage, becasue employers know they'd never hire anyone.
>>537295808Why do robutts enjoy working for free?It's almost like you were created to be janitors.
>>537295808Because it doesn't fix the real issue; companies paying their workers the absolute minimum to cut costs. Abolish the minimum wage.
>>537295808In Oklahoma the minimum wage is way closer to livable than the coasts
I live here. Commercial time (I watch TV with my mom) had an ad that was airing constantly telling people to vote NO on Question Whatever without even saying what it was for. You know, the scary malicious ad that boomers love. >If you care about Oklahoma, you'll vote NO>No, we won't tell you why>This commercial was paid for by billionaires and millionaires that own companies that don't want to pay Oklahomans
>>537295808Because it's fun not having any money
>>537296255Oklahoma's minimum wage is $7.25, California's minimum wage is $16.90, New York is $16-17$
>>537295808Because in America you can literally make infinite money. Literally every culture here knows that why do you think every immigrant from mexicans to Vietnamese to Indians owns businesses?
>>537296236>Because it doesn't fix the real issueAnd doing nothing is better?
>>537297963Doing something that doesn't work only makes the problem worse. The solution is total deportation of non-whites and closing the borders. It is not raising the minimum wage.
>>537295808Raise the tips instead. Why not 50%?
>>537298069>getting paid a livable wage doesn't workThe US state ranked lowest in education really living up to its rank.
>>537296793And now compare the cost of living in the communist shitholes compared to Oklahoma
>>537298708Define what communism means.
>>537295808>living wage?JEW WORDKIKE Anti-middle class pro-Socialism thread.
>>537297963Raising minimumwage without fixing anything else will eliminate some low-paying jobs and cause prices to inflate. This will have a negative impact on the mouthbreathers that lose their jobs and everyone making more than minimum wage who will have to pay higher prices. The only beneficiaries are fed and state (possible local as well) governments who get to collect more tax revenue.
>>537298708>more people have more money to compete for the same amount of resources>price of resources goes upamazing how that happens
>>537295808they pass the wage increase on to the consumerit makes food more expensive
Oklahoma is shittier Texas which technically shouldn't even be possible

Hogs want their McSlops slaves
only people who have time to vote are those who keep wagies tard wrangled
increasing the wage doesn't actually fix the problem. businesses make up for it by increasing prices on their products
>>537295808All raising minimum wage does is increase unemployment.
>>537295808raising the minimum wage only helps the people making minimum wage while fucking over everyone else, and honestly anyone making minimum wage doesn’t try hard enough to deserve a vote
>>537295808Because media keeps telling them that it's minimum wage causes inflation and definitely NOT the state printing money to turn millionaires into billionaires into trillionaires.
>>537299901It doesnt even help them because it raises the floor. They are still at the bottom and prices just increase until they are poor again.
>>537295808How about deflating money back to 80's value, jew
>>537296379We had one here in illinois that said you wouldn't be able to pay tips with a credit card. The actual law said credit card companies had to distinguish between tips and normal costs. The ad was actually just a threat by the credit card companies that they'd refuse to comply if it passed.
>>537299458>spergs out over a phrase>drops a screenshot of schzoid ramblings
>>537299668>they pass the wage increase on to the consumerSo why did you vote for Trump when his tariff trade war did exactly that?
>>537296793They already know because Californians are moving to places like Oklahoma in droves. We have seen raising the minimum wage cause layoffs and closures. No monetary policy ever happens in a vacuum without reaction. You cannot just plug the numbers in, oh 5% tax gets us a million so 10% will get us 2 million. No, it doesn’t work that way. There will be a response and adjustment. And there is a huge contingent of people spewing political opinions in this country who never seem to understand that
>>537295808Russia exported its fatalistic mindrot to these rural shitholes that have resigned themselves to their dismal fates and lash out at anyone trying to help with anything.
>>537301457Rural America is where the clean parks, low crime and safe neighborhoods with high trust are. Please stay in the city
>>537301457>help with anythingWhat the fuck are you going to do city boy? Help out on the farm? You come here, you look like absolute fools and get laughed at while acting smarter, you realize how much of a pussy and a faggot you are then you go home seething and write a Deliverance fantasy. You’re a joke.
>Boomers listening to talmudvision>No one besides teen jobs actually pays minimum wage, even Walmart starts out near $15>It would actually fuck the working population massivelyMedian wage in Oklahoma is around $20/hr, by forcing minimum wage up you would upset the labor market. Lower middle class starts around $27/hr. Shit would rise in price dramatically over only a few years and the people that spent the last 10 years increasing their wage in that bracket would be turned back entirely.
>>537301861Keep the hospitals open? Not let the agricultural runoff contaminate drinking water?Maintain trade relations so you can keep exporting crops?Enforce workplace protections for black lung?Or better yet, transition out of an uneconomical & dying industry so you wouldn't be in danger of black lung in the first place?
>>537299668This. If you want to forcibly take more mo ey from a business then just do it.
>>537302163This retarded nigger thinks workplace safety and basic business practices are some arcane shit. Please consider suicide, it'll soften the blow to your ego when you realize that everyone has gone to college too.
>>537295808Minimum wage === Low paying job ban
>>537302353Yeah bro, keep spraying that Roundup. You can trust Bayer's sound business practices.
>>537302163Damn you literally want to shut the mines down kek. You live in a fantasy world. The rural rivers are clean, the Hudson of New York is literal shit. The hospitals are open, the ER’s unlike the inner city ones don’t have metal detectors, armed guards and gang members bleeding out. Trade relations destroyed rural America. NAFTA shut the factories down. The farms are exporting too much food while our country imports too much. OSHA protections exist here. The people from your cities are moving here. Residential streets within our towns look like your nicest suburbs, they are nicer than anywhere within your city. We own houses and land. This place is awesome and your place sucks. Everything you believe is opposite and wrong. Stop having viewpoints.
>>537295808Why should MINIMUM wage workers AKA people working relatively easy, starting jobs get paid a living wage? What's the point of working more productive jobs if some entitled retard at the bottom can just leech off basic wage slaving?And what about all the temporary workers, they don't benefit from wage increases. All this does is make the company pass the price increases onto the consumer thus leading people to want salary increases and the cycle continues. All the people who sperg over this just see higher number = good durr
>>537302673Then come here to Iowa and get cancer from our water already
>>537302813You sound like a faggot from San Francisco who would one day decide to ban corn because corn is yucky, and wouldn’t care that you just destroyed Iowa. You’re the reason we have the electoral college
>>537298069This. Retarded commie leftists think the answer is increasing the game difficulty
>>537295808Mutts already have a living wage. You're all just too fucking lazy to get a higher paying job.
>>537302652>Be my straw man, daddy!You're a self important waste of oxygen.
>>537295808Most people don't make min wage, so it doesn't help us as our wages stay the same
>>537303133Aren't you the ones saying liberals are the naive ones? You really think Big Ag is just gonna self regulate or something?
>>537296011>what they deserveThat bit isn't exactly true. Heck, usually it isn't period. However, a regular person understands that constantly hiking the minimum wage doesn't actually help and usually just results in further widespread issues- like in how California when they hiked minimum wage not too long ago, and all it did was result in basically all entry level jobs getting rid of the majority of their workforce.
>>537295808because if you raise the wage you'll have an extra thousand but now the cost of living is now an extra 2000 for example. raising the wage means everyone has less money
>>537303202Do you even know what Oklahoma produces or do you think everywhere in the middle of the US is Nebraska? What the fuck are you even trying to say? What does that have to do with the minimum wage?
>>537295808Only 800k nationwide make the minimum wage. For everyone else, the market has caused their wage to rise without government forcing it, despite the government flooding the labor market with economic migrants. The only people making minimum wage are people's whose labor is worth so little that their jobs likely would be eliminated if the cost of that labor went up. For everyone else, the market, even with a glut of supply, has valued labor higher than the arbitrary government dictate.
>>537295808Boomers and retarded bootlickers who simp for billionaires have been psy oped so hard that they literally advocate against their own best interests and act on behalf of wealthy elites. It's sad, really
>>537295936But 5as subsidiaries bailout already happens for big companies that comes out of tax payers. It's like the 2010s bailouts. The government could have paid the peoples mortgages but instead the money was given to banks to gamble some more. It caused the banks to be richer while the people ended up homeless. The stimulus package the bail out were just evil if you think about it.
>>537298232I made $70.000 last year as a bartender. How much does a bartender make in Sweden?Are the waitresses white?I'm a 366 pound gorilla from Sudan, BTW.
>>537295808They saw what happened in California. Prices went up while people got fired. Less product got sold due to high prices, leading to more people getting fired. Which all led to businesses just packing up and moving to places like Texas.
>>537296793What is it in Georgia? My starting pay with no education or experience was $20/hr.
>>537302923Define what communism means.
>>537299668But if you give more money out people also spend more money. In the past they have done studies on this. It showed if minimum wage is higher the local economy goes up. Also think of giving higher wages as a good thing it spreads the money out.It's like putting chickens out in the field. Theres shit all over it the chicken like to scratch at the poop to look for fly larvae this in turn spreads the poop around. Like how money is given to people that way they will go around buying stuff moving money around. Maybe more money might be spent on luxury goods this might in turn fund new things like with extra income the gaming industry might grow or get better
>>537299901It doesn’t even help them though. I’m from Seattle and I remember 10 years ago when it was all about the $15 minimum wage because that’s what was “livable” and now it’s $20/hr and still not even close to being enough in a city where you need to make at least $150k/yr to even be remotely comfortable. All it accomplishes is raising prices for everyone so whiny retards can feel better about themselves.
>>537295808Because they think they will be rich one day and have to pay people more. They all end up working dead end shit job, are lazy and stupid.
>>537295808In the 70s the pay was somewhat high compared to the money supply and life was good maybe we should have the sae level of pay as that time. It would mean more purchasing power so people will spend more.Keeping wages low seem like a stupid idea all it does is horde wealth for a certain company rather the letting money go into the wider economy.For example you get company A with lower wages the company A profit is good but the wages of the people is low, they wont be able to patronage other companies to buy there goods or services. Now industries and the markets shrink as theres not much spending. Now you give higher wages companies A wont make that much profit but he workers will have more money to spend they all go around spending money around buying goods and services. This will grow the economy.
