A question about minimum wage vs pay increases?

[TheMastersNemesis]

2. The Minimum Wage Stands In The Way Of A "Free Market" Wage That The GOP And

US Chamber of Commerce supports. That is why there will be no increase if it is up to them. There would be no minimum wage or labor standards as we know them now if it was up to them.

It is all part of the "global economy" agenda that must be ruled by the laws of "supply and demand". It is a libertarian dream to have no regulations that interfere with business operations. Their idea is the free market will create prosperity for everyone.

Does anyone think that they will ever give this idea up. Their ideology since Reagan permeates everything in our society and internationally.

In case you have not NOTICED it Wall Street is encouraging investment in "international funds" and "international stocks" in "foreign" stock exchanges like Japan, China, India et al as a way to make money on investments.

The minimum wage raise is dead and the minimum wage will be dead if they ever get all the power like they had under Bush.

The GOP and it allies no longer care about THIS country and what happens to it. If you look at where they stand on just about every issue, their interests lie in creating middle classes overseas and NOT here. Besides it is cheaper because the masses overseas can reach middle class in their economy on less than $1 an hour.
