Minimum Wage Equals Job Loss

Liberals insist that is a myth. But it is very real. And job figures prove it. States that have passed minimum wage laws have suffered significant losses in jobs for “entry-level” positions. According to the American Forum, which has kept the figures on jobs available in the 14 states that instituted new minimum wage laws, such laws have resulted in the loss of 129,200 jobs since January when most of them took effect. Our incompetent politicians, who make such laws, just do not understand the FACT that people who employ that kind of unskilled workers who are just entering the job market CAN’T AFFORD to pay such wages for people who are WORTH a lot less. They can’t understand that this is where such employees LEARN the skills that allow them to make higher wages when they are WORTH it; that these jobs are NOT for people who are raising four children. Those people SHOULD be sufficiently skilled so as to DEMAND higher wages and do not NEED a government to bully their potential employer into paying them more. (United Liberty)

Those jobs were never meant to be forever jobs, capable of supporting an entire family. They are for people just starting out and meant to be temporary. Libtards cannot conceive the fact that their ideas do not work in real live, only in La-La Land.

Anon: That's pretty much what I said. If liberals ever understood common sense, I'd be out of business. I long for that day.
