This thread is beginning to take that turn.
I pointed out that the "facts" you keep presenting are anything but, and this "study" that keeps getting referenced is biased. Just like when she tried, ad nauseam, to brow beat people into believing that her point of view was the only acceptable perspective to hold, based on skewed data which she attempted to use to make her point, as fact. |
i'm not here to discuss a former poster.
now it's 'facts' and a 'study' because you don't like what they have to say.
i have seen you write opinions about what the study talked about, but i don't know that you've posted any facts to refute any of their findings. is their math wrong? their conclusions incorrect?
you said you read it, but then you write things that are opposite to what they've found, which is why i go back and put up portions that are in direct contradiction to your claims.
but, instead of telling me who funds the epi, why don't you show me a study that says raising the minimum wage would kill jobs? a study that shows it's better for us to continue to subsidize the working poor? you talk about coercion against corporations who make profits in the billions, what about coercing me and others like me to have our tax dollars pick up the slack?
is there a study that shows that instituting the minimum wage back in the day killed jobs? or when it's raised, that it does so?

this is an article about going direct to industries affected by the last min. wage increase, and how they handled the higher labor costs.
again, i am only trying to find a way to get the working poor (and we want people to work and support themselves, right?) off the dole. do you know of a better way?
also, all wages, not just the minimum wage, are below where they should be based on historic numbers. businesses are making better profits than ever, but their workers, who are more productive than ever, see no results from that.
at any rate, let's move on from that portion regarding the epi study. let's say raising the minimum wage is no solution.
what is?
