Reply #51: Shame on you paying $7. I wouldn't work hard either. If you don't care why should they?

So your "good" employee is getting $440 a week, or $1760 a month, or a whopping $21,120 a year, all before taxes. Assuming you generously give her 40 hours. Bet you don't pay benefits or healthcare either, and bet you are against single-payer healthcare.

And that unemployment would skyrocket is bullshit. Same crap used 100 years ago to fight the development of Unions.

If work needs to be done people pay the going rate and if we allow the going rate to be $7 an hour or even $11, that's what gets paid. Then when THOSE workers retire (assuming they ever can) they'll get low fixed retirement and the cycle continues.

You are an enabler. PAY A FAIR WAGE and quit whining because people aren't willing to work harder as slaves to you for nothing.
