Anonymous Coward User ID: 961432 United States 02/12/2013 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So let me get this straight. To create jobs in a weak economy, the government is going to force businesses to pay more to employees on top of other benefits. This is the job creation strategy? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33624919 The reasoning is employers will save money by opting out of insurance under Obama care and pay a fine/tax amounting to less than what they would pay to carry employee's insurance, so they will be able to afford to pay them more. |

Someone is going to do something. 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. "The biggest sign from God, to let us all know that man can never be God? Death." - Anonymous |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 33640796 United States 02/12/2013 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is he trying to run us out of business!!! If you raise one side the other would even out with it!!! The money comes from the people that buy the product and the price just rose by $1 cause of the minimum wage raise!! He does not get it!! Quoting: 4D Viewer [link to www.businessweek.com] Raising minimum wage just means there are more people making minimum wage. All the people who were making $9 an hour when minimum wage was less than $9 an hour are still making minimum wage now so that just means more people are making minimum. If minimum wage was $6 an hour and it went up to $9 an hour and everyone, not just the people making the original $6 an hour, got a $3 an hour raise (from $9 to $12 for example) then raising minimum might makes sense. They don't do that though. When minimum wage is raised there are just more people now making minimum wage. Actually it never makes sense to raise minimum wage since that is the base that all prices are set on. When minimum wage rises all prices rise with it so that means that people who make minimum wage are making a little more per hour but the raise is eaten up by the rising costs so nothing has changed for them. Lots has changed for everyone else though since they did not get a raise, they are now closer to minimum and they have less buying power than they did before. |

Does a McDouble really need to be $1 or would it be better if it cost $1.50 and the workers actually made enough money to survive? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18996623 It doesn't change anything because prices inflate across the board....so the worker is basically even Steven with the only capital being made are political ones for Obama.... |
