Why are a lot of conservatives boot licker work slaves?

[Deserter3]

They call you lazy and entitled if you want to not work 60 hours a week, have a life outside of work, and get paid a living wage. The wages have not been congruent with the increase in food and housing. If you do the math minimum wage should be $62 an hour, that's what it used to be when adjusted for food and housing in the 50s. Now you get called lazy and entitled for wanting $15 an hour.

[strateguy632]

where? full-time salaried employees is 40 hours. you have no idea just how bad real slavery was.

[Deserter3]

You're a moron

Most of the conservatives I know are high wage earners that think that they pay too much in taxes to support the lazy among us.

[Deserter3]

Uh huh, and what about the high taxes you pay to the government that never fixes anything and only makes things worse and devalues our money?

[exitseven]

yes, I definitely pay too much in taxes. Even with Trumps latest tax cut it is still way to much for what I am getting.

[Mike_Hum]

minimum wage was not designed to live on. It is a lower-than-market wage to give inexperienced workers an opportunity to grow skils.

[Deserter3]

It was literally made to live off of and people did just that, raised a family and bought a house and a car off of a single income.

[Mike_Hum]

absolutely wasn't. Minimum wage is a price floor on labor. It raises costs for companies and discourages them from hiring unskilled workers.

[Deserter3]

No, FDR who proposed it literally said that's what it's for and that's how it was used

[Mike_Hum]

lol. It's for HS kids to get jobs. You're a fucking loser if you're an adult making minimum wage.

[Deserter3]

No, the facts upset you. Why would it be for high school kids? They should be in school during those hours. You clearly don't think these things through

[Mike_Hum]

Because HS kids don't have skills in the workforce. To make a salary, your labor must be worth less than the company makes in that hour. It doesn't require skils to flip burgers. They're teaching robots to do it for free.

[Deserter3]

If it was made for them it wouldn't be during school hours. Doesn't matter if it's not difficult, they keep the company running and robots would cost more. You clearly are uneducated

[Mike_Hum]

lol, you're the idiot who doesn't understand basic economics.

[Deserter3]

No, you are, I stated facts and all you can do is throw a temper tantrum like a baby, act your age

[NovaSpawn]

You are right that wages have not kept up. Though I think it's unfair to call conservatives that.
