Because you know we don't have enough inflation and job loss as it is. Thank god it can be assumed it won't pass the vote.

All these people who think minimum wage should be 10-15 dollars an hour apparently don't know that the raise in wage will be put on the products they produce.

didn't they pass a law in Seattle the other day to raise it to 15 an hour? You thought Starbucks coffee was expensive before, wait till they raise the price.

sorry 80 percent of Americans support it.
" A new poll reports that 80% of Americans - including 92% of Democrats, 62% of Republicans and 80% of Independents - are in favor of raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and indexing it to the cost of living."

It's tough political situation, minimum wage is at a all-time low in real terms, yet hiking it isn't a real economic solution. It's called a deterioration in the US economy, and the trend will continue down for the majority of citizens.

Perhaps abolishing minimum wage and creating a maximum wage might better deal with poverty.

It's nigh impossible to live on minimum wage in most places.
Money in the hands of people who need to spend it (rather than lining the coffers of so-called "job creators") will stimulate the economy.

Who makes the decision on who else NEEDS to spend money? What do you have against those that earn as much as they can, but don't feel they should be forced to just give some of it away?.

Hmm, maybe not, as it is a wage and you are working for it. Perhaps more along the lines of maximum wealth. Not being able to own more that $5 billion for example doesn't seem unreasonable.

IF I was one of the super rich and owned a company, I would shut that shit down the minute people told me how much i am allowed to earn or that i should give away some of my money to those that someone else chooses.

minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be lived on. They should be worked by high school and college kids who need experience in the market place. And since you obviously have no business experience i'll fill you in. Labor costs are usually the most expensive part of running a business. So yes a higher minimum wage discourages job creation.

When you run large budget deficits and print trillions of dollars to fund it, you CAN'T stimulate the economy where the peasants live, otherwise you create heavy inflation, policy makers have no intention of "stimulating" the economy.
