This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
A not-insignificant number of people really think that raising the minimum wage even a penny will spell disaster
And, similarly, there are a lot of people who think not raising it would be a disaster. Not only is the federal minimum wage ham-fisted, and better left to the lower scales of government, but proposals for the expansion of programmes like EITC are far superior when it comes to poverty reduction.

Which, as I'm sure you'll agree, is the ultimate aim here. Just on an empirical view, Rubio's proposed policies are far and away superior to Sanders'; somebody on his team has been reading the literature coming out of the Hamilton Project, and who isn't having their fiscal/monetary policies dictated to them by MMTs.

Not really; the problem is that your political systems caters to more extreme candidates in how its structured. Americans are no dumber than any other given population; I mean, come on, you're world leaders in science and technology.

Maybe our industries, but certainly not the general population.

No no no, different type. You are a regular jew.

An elusive Jew people actually respect because they at least TRY to hide their deformities.

Wouldn't a Jew be supportive of Americans, not critical, since Jews run America?

 higher wages=more money that people can spend=more money for corporations to hire people

Conservatives predicted the opposite. Higher wages leads to a higher Cost of Goods Sold, meaning either higher prices, or austerity measures (cutting headcount, automation, or dropping product size) to make up the lost profits.

What happened was what you said.

You can't artificially increase value.
Martin Shkreli.

Well, he artificially increased the price, not the value--but that's the idea. "Value" isn't in the corporate lexicon.

It's funny because all the negative consequences they predict happening after raising the minimum wage usually happen when they're in power. Like how the Greek economy got ass raped by the right wing party and was put in a massive hole to the point that the left could do nothing about it.
