yeah... I've studied the arguments for getting rid of the minimum wage.

The truth is it would obviously increase employment. Companies would be able to hire more people. To do any little thing.

But it would not improve the economy. Because we already have welfare and foodstamps. Why would people take jobs for less pay then they get for free from the government? They won't. So there would be a slight bump in job growth. But it would all be undesireable jobs where the people would still be considered 'underemployed'.

The theory is that hard working people would get an opportunity in a company and then work their way up. Bitch PLEEEEAASE. We all know that's not how it works these days.

So does the minimum wage actually help things? Yes. Basically it prevents the startup of slave corporations. In other words, almost anyone can start up a succesful business model if they have slaves working for them. Minimum wage prevents this from happening though. The only way you can run a business is if you create enough income to pay people a certain wage. So people have to put some thought into their business model and take this into account. It takes absolute slavery off the table. Or limits it any rate.

And of course, none of this matters, because when we opened up trade with countries like china that uses slaves... our corporations could not compete. And our entire economy crumbled.

People blame the illegal immigrants, but what they don't get is that without that slave labor we would literally have almost no companies in America. Because it's the illegal immigrant slave labor that allowed our corporations to compete with the Chinese corporations with slave labor.

Get it?
