High minimum wage doesnt work after all

Businesses are not obligated to the employees beyond the benefits and wages they promised when those people were hired.  Raises or salary increases are at the discretion of the company.  That's just the cold hard truth about business.  

 

If you do more than your paid to do, you will eventually get paid more for what you  do.

Maybe or get a promotion but don't hold your breath.

 

 

You are also not owed anymore than was offered and agreed to. It seems that these days folks assume their employers owe them more than was agreed to. 

 

 

 

Anything can be taken too far.  Surely you wouldn't include sweat shops here.

 

 

Can you explain this one. The sweat shop thing don't make sense.

Our leaders are out of touch.  And they are not really leaders.   Our problem is that we, as Americans, have set the bar really low in terms of who we are willing to accept as leaders and what we expect of them.

 

 

I completely agree.  Most have done so.    What does that say about our electorial process?

One factor in the "welfare as a lifestyle" issue that cannot be avoided is the practice of people who continue to have children even though they can't take care of the one's they already have. The reality is by denying welfare, we are often harming children. I don't know how to get around this problem short of taking Communist China action. lol

 

While I agree, many welfare life-stylers are lazy, this doesn't apply to all of them. Some are genuinely discouraged, tired, hopeless, suffering from depression, etc... What they need is human support. They are weary...and many of them don't have the benefit of a church family...or even blood-related families...to help and encourage them. Instead they are put down, called burdens on society, and considered somehow less valuable than those who wear designer jeans and own a middle class home. These people are equal...they are created in God's image...and we need to love them, value them and respect them. Part of love is urging them to do what is right..."get a job"...but we also need to come along side and offer some help. Maybe teach them how to look for a job, how to build a resume, babysit while they job hunt, buy them an interview outfit...just be on their side...in their corner. We all need that sometimes...regardless of how well-groomed our lawns are.

Your view of whats fair and mine greatly differ. You think its fair to be more socialist and force employers to pay more to their employees despite agreed upon wages. I think that is theft.

IT is just a vicious cycle that will only cause prices to increase, nullifying the very reason this was done.  In the process, it will destroy the middle class.  The rich are far above the wages of the two and will not be affected to the same degree.  What this was designed to do will only create an opposite affect.

How do you know what my view of fair is?

 

You are assuming much my dear.

 

And you avoided my statement.

 

 

So I will ask you,  putting aside exactly what a fair wage would look like, do you agree in principal that a laborer is entitled to a fair wage?
