Why should full-time jobs that pay a living wage be a privilege? (Page 2)

[Stripes99]

You have no right to be employed at someone else’s company, and you have no “right” to money you don’t earn.

[Stripes99]

I don’t understand how paying someone to do something is “exploiting” them.

Market forces. Employers maximize their profits by keeping labour costs as low as humanly possible. It's just basic capitalism.

What is a living wage? You think people working at JC Penney should make $100,000 ?

[Poormanscomedian]

Never would answer my question. You can't have a living wage if no one knows what that is. I can tell what will happen if min wage is raised to $15 every where. First they cut all full time employees to part time. Second they raise prices of product. Third Unions strike to get more money , they will get same percentage over Min wage they had before it went up. So , now the $15 an hour people are in the same boat. They will pay more on anything they buy, their hours are cut and they actually will bring in less total income. That is exactly what will happen , so you actually will be worse off at $15 an hour than you were at $8 an hour.

in Seattle the minimum wage is $15/hr which will barely put a roof over your head — you need like $150/hr minimum to live life (as seen on tv)
