Does anyone else see this minimum wage fight as simply being welfare so the poor masses don’t revolt and start doing bad things to everyone else?
I suppose I look at it as not really a “business” case or logical analysis, but as shown time and time again in history, the “haves” really don’t want to see what will happen when the have-nots get too pissed off with the current situation. I think in France, some kids and young people torched hundreds of cars in a street. This isn’t good for anyone.
I also just read today some young kid (23 maybe) near UC Santa Barbara kill 6 people and injure 13 others because he was lonely and girls didn’t like him…
If the poor people (and there are a LOT of them) decide that things suck too much and things aren’t fair (they never were), it wouldn’t surprise me for some of these pissed off people to take it out on everyone else.
Also note that in America, guns are cheap and it’s probably already happening.
Maybe it’s their fault and all that, but at the end of the day, I think people and society in general would be better served if the top top execs and ultra wealthy .1 – 1% made less so the other 99% don’t go crazy and just start offing people that they think are cheating the system or taking advantage…Maybe like some people have suggested, instead of raising the minimum wage, make it so the poor say aren’t taxed at all or something or given more credits, etc…
Ultimately, like with health care, we’re paying already one way or another…
