The Wages Of The Minimum Wage Is More Joblessness

#4  Once saw a Ted Talk where someone proposed that to fund all the programs for the poor, homeless, illegal aliens, etc.. All we had to do was print more money. Need a trillion dollars to 'solve' the homeless? Simply fire up the printing presses.

The audience cheered and nodded their heads in approval.

And this was a professor - I believe of economics...

#3  But why work if you can't make a decent wage? At least if you can get by about as well without working?

..cause sometimes someone does win the lotto, they guess that sometime it might actually work.

#1  The people that offer this know that the vast majority of the people for whom this applies have no idea how the economy works, or what the long term effect will be on unemployment for their own demographic grouping. This is pure pandering to the ignorant for votes....and sadly, it works more and more as the American people become less and less educated.
