Midknight Review -- new and revised: A 15 dollar minimum wage is a threat to the unskilled working class. Here is why:

Forget the liberal name calling. Here is my response to a liberal who has no clue as to the facts of the 15 per hour minimum wage.

First the know-nothing, then yours-truly:

Why not ask your comrade Drumpf to spill any beans on how he would make America great again! Getting jobs away from China and Mexico translates into lower minimum wage for Americans. Is this what you want?

  Good grief. You know nothing about the 15 dollar minimum wage threat to the employment of those not trained to work in this society. First, in 1978 the minimum wage was $2.75 and nearly 16 million folks were on that wage, 90% for less than a year. Fast forward to today, the min wage is 7.25, and less than 6 million folks make that wage, proving OF COURSE, that the rising forced wage destroys jobs for the untrained. Secondly, who the hell do you think trains the unskilled? Its small business. If I have to hire a man or woman at $15 per hour (that's $31,000 per year), I will hire a skilled worker, someone who actually earns that wage. 15 per hour means the end of using small business to train the unskilled and your plan to make up the difference is what, more food stamps, more government assistance, more welfare ?! It sure isn't more high paying jobs for the unskilled.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
