ORIGINAL: Whiplashsmile4 People can't afford to live on Min wage, let alone if min wage is removed! What the FUCK? Anybody that believes people can live on less than min wage is a fucking idiot. DAMN... I'm reminded of the reason why now..that I don't venture in this area of the message boards much. There isn't a high percentage of people in the US living on minimum wage, or even trying to live on minimum wage. It is unfortunate that there are people trying to raise families on minimum wage. That's not what those jobs are for. Minimum wage jobs, by and large, are for those that are new to the labor force and have few, if any, job skills. Typically, they are more labor intensive and less technical. Because the standards are so low, more people qualify, leaving fewer people unqualified. Raising the minimum wage also raises the standards for those jobs, which works to the detriment of those that have no training or job skills. The higher the minimum wage, the greater the unemployment level will be for those at the bottom of the job skills ladder. It's just simple economics. And, there isn't a high percentage of people even on minimum wage, so raising it isn't going to a large percentage of people. quote:
ORIGINAL: Whiplashsmile4 Anybody who thinks a lot of things should not be regulated, have rules and be held accountable. Well... is fucking out of their minds. If we had more regulations in a number of areas, we'd not be in the mess we are today. Actually, all the regulations needed to prevent the mess we are in were in place prior to the mess. The regulators were too busy watching porn on their computers to be paying attention. That comes out of the Congressional Report on the Recession. And, to let you know, few would actually promote no regulations on anything. Few would promote no regulations, in general. Even among Conservatives, few think there is no need for any regulations at all. It's just not smart, and you won't find many people who are that ignorant of the truth.
