Don't Raise 'Em!!
Don't Raise 'Em

I visit other sites and engage in written debates with very smart people who have their own independent ideas or support of a certain cause or policy. So when I debate these people, whether I'm being serious or my usual condescending self. Ihave to be on my p's and q's or I will definitely be used as toilet paper. And so is the case of another written debate on www.josephcphillips.com in regard to raising the minimium wage. To put in all in a nutshell, I'm against it...I know, I know, whoa! RF23 what else is new in the land of yeahsa massa republican plantation? No s#@ Sherlock, you agree with the republicans on the issue of raising the minimium wage. And I would probably get the you always sidin' with them white folk when it comes to keeping black people down.
Other word, Uncle Tom, Sell Out, Step n Fetch or anyother derogatory name that will be placed squarely on my big azz forehead. No problem, it's starting to have the same effect on me, like black folk who use the n-word. It's a term of endearment, unless you've somehow become so sensitive and turn into Armstrong Williams. Have anyone seen his act lately? Brother man gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar and all of sudden picked up a stick, wrapped his belongings in a rag, tied said wrapped belongings to the stick and headed back to the other plantation. I assume they will now cut off his foot, so he can't runs away no mo'. But back to raising the minimium wage, my generic opposition to it, is, it hurts teens seeking to get some type of job discipline and their litttle toe wet in the job arena. If you raise the wage, who do yo think will take those jobs? illegal alie err!! adults.
And some people are going to get upset with me on this one, but unfortunately, it will hurt blacks. Someone answer this for me, how come when the democrats put their heads together with I have to admit, good intentions, to help the people they claim they represent...the ideal sucks and it really hurts the almost 100% of its base voters, Blacks. Both democrats and some Republicans are dead wrong on illegal immigration when it comes to Blacks, because illegals from South of the border are usually not educated and oh yeah! POOR!! It's no mystery that illegals from South of the border will work for less wages in comparsion to what an American citizen will work for. Don't believe me, when was the last time you seen an American citizen, most likely a teenager, do a lawn? ask for your order at a fast food joint or be on the fries waiting to be promoted to flippin burgers or drinks? When?
And now they want to raise the minimium wage, in good intentions, so we can see the idea blow up in all of our faces in the form of unemployment, higher prices or even the closing of some small businesses that can't afford the wage hike.
The late Milton Friedman said this in an interview in Houston, TX:
"Let me give you a very simple example. Take the minimum wage law. Its well-meaning sponsors -- there are always in these cases two groups of sponsors. There are the well-meaning sponsors and there are the special interests who are using the well-meaning sponsors as front men. You almost always when you have bad programs have an unholy coalition of the do-gooders on the one hand and the special interests on the other. The minimum wage law is as clear a case as you could want. [. . .]
[T]he minimum wage law is most properly described as a law saying employers must discriminate against people who have low skills. That's what the law says. The law says here's a man who would -- has a skill which would justify a wage rate of $1.50, $2.00 an hour. You can't, you may not employ him. It's illegal. Because if you employ him you have to pay him $2.50. Well, what's the result? To employ him at $2.50 is to engage in charity."
He went on to say this....
"Now there's nothing wrong with charity. But most employers are not in a position where they can engage in that kind of charity. Thus the consequences of minimum wage rates have been almost wholly bad, to increase unemployment and to increase poverty. Moreover, the effects have been concentrated on the groups that the do-gooders would most like to help. The people who have been hurt most by minimum wage laws are the blacks. I've often said that the most anti-Negro law on the books of this land is the minimum wage rate. And so I think the real answer to your question is that you must not judge a bottle solely by its label. You have to look at what's inside and see what the law or the measure produces."
