proposal for a $30 minimum wage, saying the solution to poverty isn't a minimum wage hike.
REP. JAY OBERNOLTE: IF BIDEN'S $15 MINIMUM WAGE HAPPENS, FOR 1.4 MILLION AMERICANS THE REAL WAGE WILL BE $0Why stop there? Why not $50? We've had this conversation a lot of times over the years. It's not a topic that's going to go away. And I think the more you talk about it, the more you just come to the same inescapable conclusion that it's either cause and effect or effect and cause.
For as long as I've been alive, there's been a very loud and sometimes somewhat persuasive argument that says, ‘Look, people are in pain. We have to grab the prices where they are. We have to determine what the wages will be, what cost of everything is going to be.’ Look, I'm way out of my lane, I'm not an expert on this, but never once in the history of the world have I ever known it to work. So is it going to work now? I don't think it will.
Agreed where did the $30 come from?
Why not paying employees according to their skills and productivity? I am sure most of those asking for pay increase wouldn't even get paid $7.5 an hour.😷
