If you watched the video at post #173, and look at past instances of raising the minimum wage, you would find out that YES businesses who pay minimum wages would either cut jobs, or eat the added cost, or both. McDonalds didn't raise prices or reduce employment with the last round of minimum wage hikes... they "ate" the added costs.
Are you sure about that box, what was the last time you went to McDonalds?
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
McDonalds just ate the added costs, their prices have gone way up from what they used to be. You can go to a decent place to eat for the same price.
Box pulled that lie out of his a$$ in hopes people would believe it, to bad for him the facts are out there.

"Such a wage increase is more likely to come out of profits, than be passed on by higher prices, because most employers of low wage workers are at intense competition for customers" (Economist Robert Reich ) Again... see the video.

Some things never chance: Wal-Mart hit with minimum wage lawsuit Oct 22 2012 (Reuters) - A new lawsuit accused Wal-Mart Stores Inc and two staffing agencies of requiring temporary employees to show up early for work, stay late, and work through lunch at the world's largest retailer.
The proposed class action, filed on Monday in a Chicago federal court, alleged Wal-Mart and the agencies violated minimum wage and overtime laws which could affect several hundred temporary workers in the Chicagoland area.

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,"
needing a minimum wage means that civilization has turned all of us into slave-cogs in a system built upon projected value by a small group of humans, with compelled compliance by the masses.
it has NOTHING to do with rich/poor as much as power/access.....
even at minimum wage we have the opportunity to buy international sh!t. food from other countries/products from other countries etc etc....aaaahhhh the exposure to international fiat trade IS amazing....
again, we beg the question, what is wealth?
our public schools fail to teach this at a foundation level.
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
