those who are the most in need understand the least thus allow the george soros national socialist types to use them as canon fodder in their moves to enslave the needy to a mindless army .... trying to increase the income of the poor with government regulation is like trying to fill a colander with water

Answer 5

Probably, but I wouldn't go to $15 per hour, I wouldn't go above $10

Answer 6

Lets just set it at a cool 100.00.

Then my big mac and fries can be like $150.00

I can carry like 80,000 on me at all times. No problem.

Answer 7

Yes, but at least according to your location, like how some companies offer a geopay on top of a normal salary. (If you were to reside in NYC or San Fransisco, you would recieve a larger geopay than someone residing in Indianapolis, or somewhere with a lower cost of living).

Answer 8

The popular rate is $15 per hour, but that is a short-term fix at best. What we should be pushing towards to address the wealth inequality problem is worker ownership of larger companies via real ESOP reform and converting many smaller corporate entities into employee-owned cooperatives. Tie those to local economic development organizations, which can act as a funding source for additional cooperative and ESOP companies (think a super-credit union), and you have a chance to help communities round out their economic base and aid those in distress to arise from the ashes. By spreading ownership, you give a broader range of people a piece of the wealth pie and you have an opportunity to tap into the entrepreneurial spirit of the worker-owners.

Answer 9

There should not be a federal minimum wage. Each state should set a minimum wage that best fits their standards. The federal government can not set one standard that fits all states.

Answer 10

if the min wage had been adjusted for inflation since it started

the min wage would be $4.70 today

so, no the min wage does not need to be adjusted at all
