It is a violation of my constitutional rights, to FORCE me to join a union, OR to force me to pay dues whether or not I join. That is a HORRIBLE repression of my rights. If I desire to go directly to an employer, and get a job without being involved in a union, or paying any dues to them, that is, frankly, none of your dam* business!
I don't know of any businesses which have closed because the minimum wage was raised.
I would not recommending raising it rapidly.
In Washington the minimum wage is $8.67 or about 19K a year.
Median family income by county varies from around 66K in King County Seattle metro to 34K in Whitman County (farm country).. State median is around 56K see
"Of course, his wife could get a job and they could leave the kids to
fend for themselves when school lets out. That would be the Republican
solution?
"
Not quite, if they left the kids to fend for themselves the kids would be taken by momma state, put on the taxpayers dime and imprison the poor folks that are trying to make a living - that is not the Republican way that is the Democratic momma state way - YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Who said that every employer was supposed to provide enough salary to support a family? If you cant live off of
the wage offered go somewhere else. One thing is for certain. The left cares nothing about the freedom this country was founded on.
You all want the freedom to live in a master/serf economy and are trying to initiate a race to the bottom of the human food chain. Not for yourselves but for the heathen.
You all are smarter, work harder and longer than the vast heathen majority. God will bless you because you all believe in Jesus. You all will be the masters.
In your guts, you don't WANT the tide to raise all ships equally. You think would would be better off if the government and the unions would only get out of your collective. Right?
Actually it is you that is continually advocating a master/serf economy.
One where the union bosses are the masters and the workers are the serfs all paying their obligitory dues to the those masters for the right to their positions as serfs.
No we do not want unions and the government to "raise the tide". We want everyone to earn their own way and be productive. Socialists want the rich to produce and provide a living for the "middle class". If someone else has more then you get jealous and demand some of it be given to you. Socialists are parasites.
How should the losses from sales be divided between the workers and the owners? Should the owners get all of it, or should the workers be required to forfeit a % of their pay.?
Workers may not be forfeiting pay, but instead, more likely the entire job. And it doesn't seem like most owners usually forfeit anything, at least not in big enterprises.
