Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.

GOOOD!
Until they come cryin for our tax money in federal aid to rescue them
Or we could increase the wages to that of production like they should be and then the minimum wage would be around 15 an he
Should an employee that’s serving hamburgers in the bear fast food drive through make $35,000 a year, THOUSANDS more than a soldier, a marine or a sailor in a battlefield?
Something wrong there….
Lmfao
Haha and now they want to give Muslims free home loans. That is Seattle for you. the San Fran of the north.
the congress is so stupid, I don’t think they planned for the long term…now workers want fewer hours so they can still rely on gov’t for rent, food, and child care….OUTRAGEOUS!!
Imagine that
Clearly someone skipped economics class. All they are causing is inflation in their city. Payroll goes up so do prices on the items they sell. Hardworking individuals who went to college like myself don’t see this pay raise which in my eyes is unfair. I’m all for government support for the lower class but when people become lazy and don’t want to work in fear that they won’t get assistance by the government that’s where i draw the line. This country is ran by a bunch of liberal morons.
What a bunch of c**p.
Raise the minimum wage nationally.
