Thanks Obama, seriously.

that's part of it.

prices go up whether min wage does or not. that's why we need to index min wage to inflation.

but when min wage goes up, prices do not go up as much. meaning min wage gives more buying power to consumers, which drives the economy and helps lift people out of poverty, if they so choose. some will choose not to, that is called freedom.

i just want to show these hysterical morons with their hypotheticals about million dollar min wages what idiots they are.

It's not working out too well for you. In fact it's the opposite of what you are trying. It's you who are being exposed as the idiot and hysterical.

 

[ginwilly]

what point do you think you've made here?

increases in min wage increase buying power, the numbers bear it out. more buying power helps bring people out of poverty.

So the poverty rates should be lower since min wage doubled yet it's higher now. That also flies in the face of your emotional thinking.

yeah, my empirical data that proves exactly what i am saying is making a fool out of me.

stick to resenting minorities and arguing against civil rights, your emotional, fact-free arguments stand a much better chance at appealing to bigots and racists in that arena.

Uncle's gun, which chased the jobs away, will now force the remaining employers, to pay more money for those jobs remaining. makes perfect sense. RIP free market.

I always wondered why the prices on post never went up when we got our raise.


(Yes I know that is an oversimplification)

that might have more to do with a recent recession, but feel free to ignore that.

ignoring stuff is, after all, what ignorant people do.

almost 40% of Europe lives below the US "poverty line," but they don't notice.

the question I asked you was what happens to the poverty line with a min wage increase, the empirical evidence you showed proves it moves with min wage.
Your own evidence, that you sighted, made my argument for me yet you are too dense to see it.

Then you go on a name calling rant while calling others hysterical. You really aren't that gifted in the thought process.

Eastern Europe. Ever been? Not a very happy go lucky place for a number of reasons.

my claim: empirical data shows again and again and again that wages go up more than prices do, by far.

your challenge: then show that imperical data


and i did, and you got pissy, and bla bla bla.

The recession ended in the summer of 09, fives years ago, and as you have pointed out several times, we've had steady economic growth since, yet poverty has incrementally inched up. Why do you think that is?

is it because we kept raising minimum wage from 2009 until now?



stick to resenting minorities and protecting racist food spitters.

LOL........no growth first quarter, when the Fed's alchemy is ignored. maybe even a contraction. there will be no growth next quarter. two consecutive quarters with no growth. the definition of recession. unemployment is not, I repeat, not 7%. we never left a state of recession. there will be no economic recovery; prepare accordingly.

Buck, you have a place of refuge with me, but you will work, and you will shut up.

Oh I know that. Just repeating the president's and therefore bucktard's rhetoric.

That's not it, why else would this happen? Could an increase in the money supply actually harm the dollar's buying power?

okay........come on in

not due to a minimum wage increase, the immutable laws of mathematics in the empirical evidence i have presented preclude that carnival barking of yours from being true.
