[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a formula for driving up inflation. If you have to pay the dishwasher $25 an hour, then everyone in DC doing other, more skilled things who currently makes $25 will demand commensurate increased in their wages. And then if they get $40 an hour, then people who currently make $40 an hour will demand $60. It will continue up the chain, and then prices on everything will rise accordingly because of all the money sloshing around. Going out to eat will cost $300 and then the dishwasher making $25 an hour will complain that everything is still unaffordable. [/quote] Just because people demand something doesn’t mean they need to get it. Stop holding the poor hostage in order to placate the middles who need to feel like they’re better than some earning minimum wage. [/quote]
