You want to raise the minimum wage? Everyone will stay at the bottom because they're happy about their earnings, you have to work your way up there, and taxing the rich is ridiculous, I'm not going to start from the bottom and go to the top just to get taxed, I'll just stay at the bottom with low taxes and a high minimum wage.
Raising the minimum wage will cause unemployment to spike up
when McDonalds was forced to increase it, they just hired robots
Everyone should want to become rich, so they have to work for that.
Minimum wage is no skill work. You have nothing skillful to offer, therefore you are working a basic job at a basic wage.
its completely fair
A guy who flips burgers at McDonalds should NOT be making as much as some college degree requiring jobs.
Also people like AOC and sanders are retarded for wanting to tax the rich a ridiculous amount. If you tax the rich too much they will just leave the country.
then you get nothing from them
And your economy will die, the rich need to stay rich for an economy to succeed.
yep
The upper class makes the middle class and the middle class makes the upper class
take one away, the other is destroyed
But of course, every uneducated person thinks raising the minimum wage is just more money.
Leftists want socialists to be elected so they can live off the government and all work at starting jobs.
There would be no point in going anywhere in life if there's low taxes and a good paying minimum wage.
No point in going rich cause of high taxes.
They are lazi.
lazy*
That’s not very true
I mean, if your $50M annual income was reduced to $30M after taxes, would you *really* just say “screw it, I’ll get a minimum wage job instead”?
No, you’d just maybe buy a few less yachts.
Now, just leaving is entirely possible and seen historically.
But no one would sacrifice a life of luxury just because they don’t like their $50M taxed at 40%.
And honestly, I’d prefer replacing the minimum wage with an NIT-type thing
But people aren't going to try hard if the minimum wage is increased, they will stay at the bottom, becoming rich will seem like a waste of time if they're happy with what they have.
I don't see the point in giving someone a decent wage if all they do is scan an item or flip a burger.
@wahx Found the origin of the meme, it's from 4chan - that puts a little doubt into thinking it's ironic
that alone should say enough lol
what meme?
Oh just some conversation earlier

Basically nothing on 4chan is serious
It's a joke but also based in fact
I know it's a joke. Although it's most certainly not showing irony
I'd say it's based on core perspective and fact
@Donaldus Triumphus#0769
Yeah, why?
So you want to get rid of your universal healthcare in Britain?
I'm not sure about here, don't focus on it much.
