Minimum wage is a zero sum game after about one year.

Btw, there's an In-N-Out going up right near my office here. I love that place.

What you fail to see is that when you raise minimum wage the cost od the products also goes up, usually at a higher percentage than the minimum wage did, ergo giving them LESS purchasing power thus putting SMALLER companies out of business.

hey guy...............relax........................... .............

by the way unregistered is right. The only one to benifit from higher minimum wage is the US government via higher incom, payrol and social security tax. And states and local government via there income and sales tax.................... no one else benifts.

You really don't get it so you. You just believe in entitlements and not EARNING money. If people son't like what they make somewhere then they can leave and go somehwere else. that is how you keep business in check not with government regulations.

Small businesses create 75% of new jobs annually, but they are also responsible for most job losses. That is why we must be especially careful when contemplating new financial burdens on small businesses. With so many of them so close to the edge to begin with, it often doesn't take much to push them over, destroying many jobs in the process

Corporations believe in entitlements as well, it called Corporate Welfare which cost American tax payers. For years, the U.S. government has been in the business of providing special benefits to individual industries and companies through tax breaks, trade policies, and spending programs.

There are several problems with this approach. The federal government has a poor record of picking industrial winners and losers, so the economic benefits that these programs are purported to create inevitably fail to materialize. Furthermore, corporate welfare programs create an uneven playing field; foster an incestuous relationship between business and government; are anti-consumer, anti-capitalist, and unconstitutional; and create a huge drain on the federal budget.

Corporate welfare is a huge drain on the federal treasury for little economic benefit. Corporate welfare is supposed to offer a positive long-term economic return for taxpayers. But the evidence shows that government "investments" have a low or negative rate of return.

In the late 1960s the federal government spent nearly $1 billion on the Supersonic Transport, which experts in Washington expected would revolutionize air travel. Instead the project went bankrupt and never flew a single passenger. In the late 1970s the federal government spent more than $2 billion of taxpayer money on the Synthetic Fuels Corporation -- a public-private project that Department of Energy officials thought would provide new sources of energy for America in the 1980s. The SFC was closed down in the 1980s, having never produced a single kilowatt of electricity.
