Have a cookie. You've demonstrated that when wages don't increase and there's inflation, purchasing power decreases! Good lord, you must be an economics genius or something.

Which is the exact reason the wage should be raised. DUH.
I know it's hard for you to have empathy considering your parents pay for everything, but some day when you actually have to pay your own way, you might actually realize how hard it is for people to make a living.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

Ted, I never said the wage shouldn't be raised. I said raising it caused inflation and not actually economic growth. I pointed out that raising the minimum wage in general just resulted in a certain amount of wealth redistribution. You're just dodging to strawmen. I'm sorry if strawmen are the only things you can beat to death, but why don't you just type into notepad if that's what you're going to do? You don't impress any of us...

So MAN UP, either you support it or you don't. Since you've dogged it out the whole time, you don't support it.
And besides, you didn't prove inflation. I'm still waiting for that, besides 10th grade high school text book hypotheticals.

OK. Let's set it to $10 million per hour.

Once again, you should read the previous page.
Which was the exact point I made in the very first post I made in this thread.

You mean like the people of Florida who voted to raise the minimum wage last year? No, they didn't have any suggestions.
Especially in high cost of living areas, raising the wage is important.
Now let's hear your opinion, whether you support it or not.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

This may seriously hurt your feelings, Ted, but if I should point out one with a Danish approach between you and Kuci, then you are a clear winner.
Anyway, kuci isn't right about it just ends up in inflation. If that should be a fact, then economical expansion would be impossible.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

No. Economic expansion occurs through discovery/exploitation of more resources (be it an increased labor pool or oil in the ground) or through increases in efficiency. Either of those can increase the real amount of goods and services that people can consume. Simple increases in wages cannot (except inasmuch as they might, possibly, lead to the two aforementioned means of economic expansion).
Changes to wages just results in a redistribution of consumption of goods in services from one group of people to another, and a possible change in the value of currency, not growth.
