So that means less production and less minimum wage labour demand. Oh God, is this another "the poor people are going to destroy or did destroy the economy" argument again like when the right wing blamed them for crashing the housing market?

What an idiot you are. you obviously don't understand a single thing about economics of business. Whatever a business spends whether it be a CEO bonus or increased employee wages, the money has to come from somewhere. They only have one source of money and that's the sale of their products. Operating costs go up cost of producing the product go up. They aren't about to give it away. They are in business to MAKE money. Bottom line the cost to the consumer goes up. $50m to the CEO impacts all the products moron. Everything goes up a little bit. Or perhaps through automation and efficiency driven by the CEO they need fewer people and saved $100m. So there is a one time saving of $50m first year and $100m every year thereafter. That may even prevent price increases from other factors like the increase in their supply cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 15 hours ago, Anler said: Total bullshit. The cost increase in goods doesn't match the raise dollar for dollar. With your logic you should be protesting obscene CEO salaries. Makes shit more expensive... exec pay is a rounding error in most of these companies. divide it by the number of employees and most employees would be lucky to get a big mac meal out of it.

So although you dont have to pay $1 more for your sammich, you DO get to pay extra in taxes. Not to mention that low wages lack incentive for people to want to enter the job market in the first place. But that is changing. Lots of areas around the country are taking a look at their local rates and making changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 If lower wages are so critical to business health then why are companies moving BACK to high dollar urban areas?
