$17.50 per hour is $33,000 per year thus $35 per hour is $66,000 per year which would eliminate the need for food stamps

Tell us how you can support the policies of an idiot like Biden who has opened the floodgates at the border, bringing in MILLIONS of unskilled workers who will be competing with the AMERICAN "common man" for those minimum wage jobs?

Have you ever grasped or even heard of the laws of supply and demand?
Why should a business owner agree to pay more than the amount that they can pay for what someone is willing to work for?
Go ahead and try to get your $32 minimum wage passed, then watch the millions of American workers get fired as businesses choose to pay cash to illegals who will work for $5 an hour or less off the books?

And you think YOU'RE a friend to the "common man"?   Image   Image

Zeets is right. You are too. But see-  if a law was passed to force Walmart and Amazon  to pay a nice wage. The small town bidness owners would be shoved out too.
I knew the lady that owned our small town Subway. She shut her down- in the last minimum pay hike. She told me- she just couldn't swing it. We lost a Subway and the employees lost their jobs?
 they changed their meat  anyway and I didn't care. :lol:

Am I mistaken in the belief that you voted for him?  And Hillary?  And Obama?
And what exactly is your definition of a "living wage"?  You don't get to hide your socialist ideals by hiding it with a non-descript term that means nothing!

And if you're sick of companies like Wal-mart, then don't patronize them!  But until the day you're made king, you DON'T get to tell others what they should do with THEIR MONEY!  

Just keep your hands in your own pockets and mind your own business!

You base everything on potential of nobody knows, but every brain navigates space adapting to time left forward here, now as a reproduction gets conceived to decomposed living outside the womb of origin and final destination of a tomb sharing space in plain sight.

Now you didn't include all level of taxation where taxes take that annual income to about half as you describe the gross income, not the net able to spend on one's family.

How do you divide the whole truth into such segments of anything else is possible but living never exceeds left evolving forward as displaced in plain sight now?

I call **** on your whole ideology and social identity.

Keep to the topic or STFU. No one cares about your alternate plane of existence where no one can write coherent sentences.

walmart already shoved out the mom and pops

if your friend couldn’t afford to pay $7.25 she was in the wrong business 

funny how companies can magically afford to pay their employees more when they go on strike or form a union 

but I guess you guys are right, the workers should tighten their belts, not the corporations 

more tax breaks … cause murica

I do not support Wal-Mart and do go out of my way to avoid them. There are rare occasions where this option simply does not exist.. such as needing certain items while you are in Winnemucca, NV. If possible, I try to support local, independently owned businesses. Again, that is not always possible depending on the product and/or price. The two products that i am somewhat religious on buying local are beer/wine and physical books.

“Non descript term” ?

how much more “descript” can it be ?

a wage good enough to live on

but I get it, big companies deserve every penny they can get … record profits for everyone 

if a person can’t get by on $10 per hour, go get a second job

problem solved 

I don’t know what I was thinking 
 
I stand corrected

You should live on a commune where you could share the non-wealth that deadbeats like you generate.

Your mind was nurtured by context since the day you were born with a unique brain navigating time mutually occupying space in series parallel compounding events evolving forward in plain sight here and you reject anyone being honest about it as much as allying with everyone agreeing to believe Eternity is out there any other time than here now.

You are a denier of self to defend that intellectual career of a mercenary defending what people choose to believe is greater than evolving naturally here now.

that is all you became after birth as all you would ever be since conception is an active displacement replacing your 4 previous generation gaps forward one ancestor at a time now.

That denying is on you. Everyone is born with a unique chromosome brain navigating their time mutually living in their series parallel one time event horizons now.

As all socialists like you should and MUST be corrected, fool!

So tell me what YOU'RE idea of a "living wage" is?  Or do you really think that's the same amount for everyone?
Isn't a "living wage" higher for a married man with 4 kids than a single man?
Isn't it higher for someone living in NY, NJ, CA, or IL than it is for someone living in Arkansas?
You think it's the same for a teenager getting his first job at McDonalds as an adult with two mortgages, a 12 year-old car, and a kid who needs braces?

You liberal idiots lock onto a leftist talking point that you think means anything and you don't care how dumb it makes you sound when you repeat it!

And yes, companies big or small deserve every penny they can get as long as they're operating within the confines of the laws of their state and federal government.
It IS NOT the obligation of a business to give an employee any more than the amount they agreed he'd work for or to provide jobs for any number of people.
Their obligation is to maximize the investment of their stockholders in a corporation, or to provide security and an income for the business owner and his family in a smaller company.

And here's the kicker that you socialist idiots can never get through your thick heads:
THE US CAPITALIST SYSTEM HAS RESULTED IN CREATING THE STRONGEST, WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, yet you hate it!
And you Democrat fools can never accept or acknowledge that reality!
