[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1758534, member: 50088"] Really? Because someone who doesn't earn enough and goes on government assistance, this in turn is a "Walmart subsidy". That's pretty funny. I've heard this before and figured someone would bring it up. It's sad that people can't understand why there has to be and always will be a baseline wage. We could make it $15/hr and that would soon after become the new poverty wage. Everything would go up as inflation would accelerate to match this new baseline. Before long, $15 is worth what $10 is today and we're in the same boat. But before all that happens, millions of people lose their jobs in small margin businesses. Restaurants, retail, etc... These places replace humans with more automation, demand more productivity and so forth. [/QUOTE]
