Wow, you’re very observant. I didn’t think of all those extra things. I have discussions often with people, and most of the time, their opinions are what they heard and learned from the mass media. I right away tell them, “you are repeating what’s on the news”
The lie they repeat the most? Raising the minimum wage will kill jobs. No, globalization kills jobs. Raising taxes on store fronts, then land lords raise rents, then store owner gives up, close down and kills more jobs, civil service tax absorbing jobs are to generous.
The Media will NEVER say we can’t give police and teachers a raise, it will kill jobs. If the minimum wage was $3/hr, it would create MILLIONS of jobs. Each person would need 4 jobs. 🙂 Many citizens would open thousands of businesses to capitalize on that.
Hire at $3/hr and charge $6/hr.
