    Increasing the minimum wage is being discussed.

    Pretending that inflation is caused by wage increases as an excuse to never raise the minimum wage is what Republicans do.

      No, I responded to someone’s comment within this post, and that’s what is being discussed. And they, and myself, are for increased minimum wage, he said it plainly and I said I agreed with him. I also agreed that we should have restrictions placed to prevent the rich from increasing prices on everything else just because the wealthy know that everyone got a base raise. I never said inflation is caused by a wage increase, you came to that conclusion on your own. Republicans also dislike restrictions on the wealthy, which it sounds like you’re not a fan of it either…are you a Republican?

        Which is why you’re setting prerequisites for it.

        I’m not a fan of coming up with prerequisites to stand in the way of raising wages. And I’m certainly no fan of the Republican argument that we can’t raise wages because prices will rise, particularly not when prices already rise when wages stay stagnant like you and every other Republican wants.

          Again, I didn’t say we can’t raise wages. I said I was for it. What prerequisite was mentioned that would stand in the way of increasing the minimum wage?
