I don't see how communists think that this is a better idea than redistribution from the wealthy?

No, communists was popular control of the means of production. But yes, this is a half measure that really nobody on the left except for people who've lowered their expectations after years of political failure wants

Welcome to the real world, it's never going to change no matter how hard you try. The adorable thing is that this somehow upsets you.

Okay, so why do retarded manchild conservatives scream and throw louder and louder tantrums when left wing policy is enacted and is successful? The world's not going to change no matter how hard they try. You should take your own advice

Well I'm not surprised my point went over your head. What I was trying to say is that no government policy is going to change the value of low skill jobs. But keep crying about "DEM CONSERVATIVES :qq:"

The government can and does change the value of minimum wage jobs? By fiat? By declaring a minimum wage? Like I get you're not particularly bright but this is basic stuff dude. I don't care about your subjective valuation of low skilled labor, it's worth whatever the employer pays for it, and if they are required to pay a minimum wage then viola

Don't most restaurants skirt minimum wage anyway by having most of their staff making up wage revenue in tips?

Restaurants essentially don't have a minimum wage, correct

Read between the lines, human being. There are other metrics by which to determine an exact dollar amount, tying its increase as a function of productivity only determines the rate.

The left is currently trying to attack big corporations again. Their ammunition this time? The mass layoffs that will occur when minimum wage is increased to $15. Big business and small business will suffer, and guess who's to blame? BIG OL' GUBMENT for allowing for-profit companies. So now wages must be maintained and jobs must stay so what do we do? Start phasing out public corporation and start phasing in Federally owned enterprises on a large scale.

Literally all wage increases lead to increased prices. Inflation is part of a healthy economy

quote:

After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, he had some awful
substance left with which he made a Strikebreaker. A Strikebreaker is a two-legged animal
with a cork-screwed soul, a water-logged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
When a Strikebreaker comes down the street men turn their backs and angels weep in
Heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of Hell to keep him out. No man has the right to be
a Strikebreaker, so long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a
rope long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with
a Strikebreaker. For betraying his master, he had the character to hang himself –a
Strikebreaker hasn’t.
Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas Iscariot sold his Savior for thirty
pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the
British Army. The modern Strikebreaker sells his birthright, his country, his wife, his
children, and his fellow men for an unfilled promise from his employer, trust or
corporation.
Esau was a traitor to himself. Judas Iscariot was a traitor to God. Benedict Arnold was a
traitor to his country. A Strikebreaker is a traitor to himself, a traitor to his God, a traitor
to his country, a traitor to his family and a traitor to his class.
There is nothing lower than a Strikebreaker.

replace "strikebreaker" with "manager"
