The Grapes of Math

by

California (and New York) imposed $15-an-hour minimum wage laws that will be phased in over the next five years.  This is what is going to happen:

  1. Big Businesses will replace as much of their work-force as possible with automation.
  2. Small businesses will go out of business or relocate to more business-friendly states.
  3. All businesses will try to get more done with fewer workers.
  4. Contrary to what the left claims, welfare rolls will not be reduced because welfare recipients adapt to minimum wage increases by working less so they can stay on welfare.

  3. #4 is a major goal of the lefties. Hordes of idle people, who are kept busy enough to claim they are producers, yet still glued to Uncle Sam’s teat. Lefties would rather have two people working 20 hours per week and dependent on the government than one person working 40 hours and independent of government assistance, and the other one hustling to find employment elsewhere or starting a business. Lefties want to spread the wealth, and if that means carving up the available jobs, all the better.

  4. Exactly, windbag.

    Democrats don’t care about “the poor” being unemployed, because they don’t WANT “the poor” to be employed; they want them docile and leashed to government handouts.

    The Obama Party is simply repeating the lesson of the Nazis; the easiest way to enslave the people of a country is to make them dependent on their government for everything. Once that is done, there will be no rebellion or revolt, because to question the existing order equals starvation.

  5. Welfare rolls will increase because as jobs go away, there will be less and less jobs for those who actually want them, and as those this is supposed to help are the least able to afford moving, they will be stuck.
    All according to the plan.
