Newspaper Editor Liars

The Daily Tar Heel, a paper from the heavily socialist state university system, weighs in and lies about the minimum wage. The editors celebrate the State Treasurer's opinion that the state minimum wage is too low. Then they proceed to lie about it.

more than 100,000 North Carolinians to try to pay the bills on about $893 per month before taxes.

Implied lie. First, if you're only making $893 a month, you're not only not paying taxes, but you're getting tax credits -- or cash -- from the government. And the only bills you have when you're earning that much is how much to spend at the mall -- the vast majority of people earning that are kids living at home.

Moore's increase would bump that number up to almost $1,070, meaning fewer residents would have to rely on public programs to make ends meet.

Wait a minute! Just one sentence ago, they implied that people working for minimum wage get ONLY $893 a month. If they're on public programs, then they're ALREADY getting more than $893 a month now, aren't they? Damn those facts!

Workers would keep the same constant buying power - and businesses aren't forced to deal with sudden minimum wage jumps of almost 20 percent for inflationary adjustment every time legislators remember that it's an issue. Everybody wins.

No, workers do not get the same constant buying power -- those who are working for minimum wage DO NOT REMAIN THERE! People get raises, they get educations, they change jobs -- minimum wage jobs are ENTRY LEVEL YOU SOCIALISTS.

If all minimum wage laws were removed today -- as they should be -- how many jobs do you think will pay less than the current minimum wage? I'd be willing to be almost none -- no one will work for $2 an hour, you idiots!

Damn socialist crap.
