Mcdonalds and Wal Mart have already been shown giving counseling to employees on how to obtain food stamps. How is someone supposed to be self sufficient if they dont get paid enough to do so?

hasn't this retarded right wing myth been debunked enough times for you to feel embarrassed to repeat it yet?

it's as stupid as trickle down, with as much evidence to support it: NONE.

Actually minimum wage increases unemployment by pricing less productive people out of the market. IF a company cannot get rid of the unproductive people, prices MUST rise necessarily or some other kind of expense must be reduced in a like amount to compensate. Companies don't just increase their expenses without adjusting other things to make up for it, if they didn't make those adjustments they would just go bankrupt and cease to exist. The number one biggest expense for 99% of all companies operating on earth are THE EMPLOYEES! You don't just increase the number one expense and just expect a company to not change their pricing structure. Companies exist to make a profit, not provide people with a place to make a living.

all those words, but nothing said.

minimum wage damn near doubles and your dollar still buys just as much if not more big mac.

the theory of minimum wage jacking up prices is baseless and retarded. be ashamed of yourself.

We already proved that the dollar buys less big mac, just because you ignore that proof doesn't make the facts any different. The theory of Min wage increasing prices has plenty of merit, you obviously never spent a day studying or engaging in any kind of business.

If your revenues are $10 and your expenses are $11, what are you?

Bankrupt.

You simply do not understand the most basic premise of business.

If prices of Weed in your area all of a sudden doubled, you wouldn't change YOUR prices would you?

that is not true.

but even if it were (and again, it is not), how much less bic mac does a dollar buy, adjusted for inflation? 50% less, since the minimum wage doubled?

NOPE.

i could grant you the lie in your statement and you would still be wrong.

Increase their labor costs by 10-15% and you really don't think they will adjust their pricing accordingly? That seems terribly naive coming from someone who so loudly laments the greed of corporate entities.

then why hasn't it happened historically?

why does min wage keep going up while the dollar buys the same amount or more of big mac?

WOOPS. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FAIL.

Except that the dollar doesn't buy you more big mac, it buys you less.

Why do facts become meaningless to you when they do not fit your preconceived version?

now that we've established you are a liar, let's move on.

let's suppose the lie you keep trying to tell is actually true.

has the purchasing power of the dollar last 50% to the big mac, in accordance with how much wages have gone up?

NOPE.

WOOPS.

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FAIL.

Items ADJUSTED for inflation means they will ALWAYS show up as more expensive. Do you not understand the sleight of hand being dealt to you or are you just so ignorant of economics and monetary facts that you can't figure it out?

You should explain to us again how the big mac index measures the price of a big mac vs inflation. that was a hoot to watch you squirm on that super mega egg on face you laid for yourself

i see you've just kinda given up on your argument about inflation causing big macs to cost more (because it is baseless and supported by zero empirical evidence whatsoever), and gone back to some retarded mental confusion about baseline prices based on inflation.

min wage damn near doubled from 2000 to 2010, but a dollar would buy you more big mac after the wages went up.

deal with it, sistah.

see? You have no idea what you are talking about. Did you know the big mac of 20 years ago was much larger? Even if the price adjusted for inflation went down, you still got less for your buck, buck.

what a great rebuttal filled with examples of minimum wage driving up prices :lol;
I was in the middle of finishing it when I remembered what your wife looked liked, panicked and hit the enter button w/o realizing it. I am 23 years your senior, yet my wife is WAY hotter than your wife, and only a few years older to boot.

editing in a picture of AUSTRALIAN big macs from a site with no accompanying text or studies and a broken video isn't exactly helping your case, idiot.

tell me, how do you get a side by side picture of a 20 year old big mac and today's big mac, genius?

:lol:

ND, didn't you know McDonalds put in more nutrition to make up for the size... That's probably what bucks referring to... :dunce:
