    You’re really just saying you are against any increase in the minimum wage that could ever actually pass. So you’re against raising the minimum wage.

    If I wasn’t so sure the number was just a random number high enough that you can never be accused of being realistic, I’d ask how you decided on that number in particular.

      If minimum wage was tied to productivity, the metric I would argue we should be using, it would be about $26 an hour, by the time we get any momentum both productive forces and inflation will have eaten up most of the gains we have made, so I increased the current minimum wage, and saw we where close to a pleaseing looking number. Believe it or not I did put thought into the number I chose.

      What I am opposed to is this begging for concessions, by the time we get them we are too little too late, but all the liberals go out to brunch because mission accomplished.

      Also why do we have to argue abput minimum wage in the first place, is not all fruits of labor, labor’s by right, why must we put up with capital stealing from us to increase their hoard?
