Connecticut Proposes $1/h Fee For Minimum Wage And $15/h

This is like a guess: might be a good measure, might not be. But I think only those earning $14 will benefit from this. During a crisis the best way to increase purchasing power is with government debt. The resulted inflation helps the economy because it makes the debt worth less, which means that the government debt earned actually didn't really worsen the gvt debt as a percentage of the economy.

Usually this would lead to mechanisation and higher unemployment, but I don't think it would in the US, where businesses make a lot more and the most goes to the richest.

Capitalist? This is more of a socialist move. And a really dumb one at that too

 

might as well raise minimum wage, at least the worker gets benefit garanteed. But this doesnt actually benefit the worker

I don't fully understand the article then. It sounded like a prevention mechanism for socialist wages

​Taxing business that don't follow employee wage guidelines is neither capitalist nor socialist...Its Nazist....

Basically they wanna tax businesses $1/h for every worker a company pays under $15/h

 

thats incredibly stupid. If u wanna raise the cost of hiring at the very least give it to the worker. Raise minimum wage by $1/h instad of this dumb fee...

 

Cuz the Government would get the $1 but the worker would get nothing out of it

The minimum wage should rise. I don't care if the business owner ends up with half the profits made. They are a greedy f*cker anyw. Ya

Or,,they could do like GoodYear Tire did in France...  Close their doors do to excessive regulation and taxes.  That way the workers get no wages at all.

Right. Because it is really smart to tax your way out of a recession. Good thinking.

(Sarcasm)

​Honey, connecticut isn't in a recession. We haven't been for a while (edit to clarify: it's been like five years). We're one of the wealthier states in the country. But we've had to make some hard choices to balance our budget, and this is one proposal to bring in new revenue.

​This is a false dilemma. You're suggesting that the difference between a large company being in the black or in the red is $1 per hour per minimum wage employee. That certainly isn't the case.
