$15 an hour? That is pretty modest, why not $50 an hour?

By the way, the future is here. I ****ing love science!!! Check it out, it's a robot that can build 360 burgers and hour and it doesn't put boogers in your food! http://www.businessinsider.com/momentum-machines-burger-robot-2014-8

I agree that $15 is too much, but they should at least be making $10 or $11.

Looks like a good way to bolster our already high unemployment rate and end up with even more people leeching the taxpayers' money through public assistance than there already are today. 

I think the market should decide what jobs pay.  If a job is worth X you get paid X, and a bunch of bureaucrats or politicians who've never even run a lemonade stand shouldn't pick some arbitrary number out of a hat.  Switzerland for example has no wages laws whatsoever and they have a 2.3% unemployment rate.

Conversely, I wouldn't mind a $15 an hour minimum wage if we A. didn't have such a lavish entitlement system B. we actually enforced our borders and immigration laws


Switzerland has some of the best public Schools and overall Health-care in general.
They pay Public School teachers a lot of moeny.

Over-all the standard of Living is much better in Switzerland, therefore people can get by much easier and worry less due to how Switzerland handles things. People can get by even with Minimum Wage jobs in Switzerland.

Healthcare is also MUCH MUCH MUCH more affordable in Switzerland. But honestly, seeing as how things are.

Corporations seem to want to same Standards as China to keep costs low, are you saying we should have the same Standards as China if Corporations have the freedom needed to do what they need to do to establish the same standards in China as in the U.S.?
