Minimum Wage B.S.

Another year, another attempt to raise minimum wage laws in North Carolina. Same lies, same b.s., same potential results. A "coalition" of socialists, "North Carolinians for Fair Wages," is a coalition of unions and those who would continue suppression of minorities (the NAALCP).

Again, the claims:

an increase to $6 an hour would directly affect 100,000 workers in North Carolina. They say that an additional 200,000 workers who already make at least $6 an hour could see a raise, too, as an indirect result.

You know, they're right here. It will "affect" 100,000 workers -- 50,000 will see wage increases, 50,000 will lose jobs, and all 100,000 will be forced to pay higher prices for goods and services. And the 200,000 who will see an indirect result? Sure -- again, many losing their jobs.

Minimum wage laws are archaic remains of a bygone past. Another moron says,

Nobody ever says that [negative effects] about the CEO's salary, and all the advantages of CEOs, when their salaries go up,

It's called economics of a free society, "Reverend" William Barber. The CEO EARNS that money, instead of getting a raise just because the law demands it. If you weren't such a jealous person, you'd see that and work to earn your own money instead of turning so green with envy over what the Jones' have.

Minimum wage laws MAY have had a purpose years ago. In today's society they are simply not needed -- all laws regarding minimum wage should be abolished. After all, American's won't do those jobs, anyway, right?
