And that brings us back to the question....what is a living wage? And who gets to decide what it is? Some places in this country (and I am talking about these United States of America), people might not be able to live on 20.00 an hour, and some places they may be able to live on 10. I don't think you can just set an…

I used "salary" because @33gail33 used "salary" in her post. I was responding to her. I believe that an owner of a business or businesses has the expectation to end up profiting personally at the end of the day, just as the employees expect to be paid. If I am running a business that I am not personally getting a return…

The 95-100 a year does not include a salary for me. Whatever I choose to pay myself as owner reduces this amount. Can they live on the wages they make now? Well, they come into work every day and appear to be clean and healthy and seem to be happy enough with their situation. Not one of these employees makes the 12-14…

Sure enough....

So my choices are : Raise my wages, while keeping prices stable and make nothing for myself Raise my wages and my prices, losing customers and revenue, and having to lay off staff Close my business and put 23 people out of work, and deprive the community of the goods/services that I currently provide at a fair price.…

Right...then who gets a raise and who gets laid off? Is that even an option?

I am addressing the last, bolded part of the above statement. I have a business that I own. I have 8 full time hourly employees, and 15 part time hourly employees. Most of my employees are long term employees who are good workers and seem happy. No issues to speak of. After a fairly good year last year, my net profit after…

Wouldn't it be better to just have one BIG helper than seven little ones? Aren't I asking for a friend?

Do they have a free continental breakfast? Asking for a friend.

Good afternoon @cmsienk

Wanna be friends?

My bad. Sorry everyone. I am so ashamed.

But who determines what fair value for labor is?

That is beautiful in theory, but then what is the incentive for a business owner to work hard and build a business to become successful? Sounds like we are talking about socialism. Lets ask, lets see, just about every other socialist country how that has worked out for them. But I am sure we will do it better, right?

So where does the extra money come from? Sure, Bezos could do it, but what about Doc down the street at the Quick Stop? What about most small business owners who are still just barely living (as we define living here). If I have a good employee, and I want to raise his wages $2.00 an hour, or 80.00 a week, I have to raise…

Not sure if 7.25 is livable or not, but I can say this. I took business and economics in school, and I KNOW that if you raise the minimum wage, the price of goods and services automatically goes up, so where are you then? In exactly the same place. You can't just print money and expect prices to stay the same. So many…

Doesn't everyone know that I stalk all my friends? Don't y'all know that if you say Hello to me once, I think you love me? Don't y'all realize that I AM the crazy, possessive girlfriend?

Those families without internet lived. They may not have thrived, but they lived. I am not trying to be argumentative, really I am not. I just wish people would step back and realize that MOST of the stuff we think we need to live, we really do not. People are so conditioned to think that they NEED so much...they feel that…
