    How about not bringing in 20 million illegals to depress wages? You open border types are doing the bidding of evil businessmen like @MikeDamone

    Does raising taxes make more money for the workers?

    Guess what I did my taxes this morning and hondo and the democrats have been lying their ass off. I got a nice cut. I work for a living. I'm middle class. Trump helped me

    What the fuck are you people offering? More illegals and taxes? No thanks

    Then why not create a path to citizenship for those illegals who are here and can work legally? This ending the depressed wages?

    And if you don't agree with that. Then discuss who we can find and remove your number of 20 million illegals. And the resulting effect on the economy if that happened.
    Hondo's understanding of economics sucks as bad as his understanding of most topics.

    Making all the illegals, legal doesn't remove the supply and demand issue Hondo.
    And that has absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote. Other than that, fair point.
    An admission that Hondo is too stupid to even understand what he writes.

    You claimed that giving all the illegals the ability to become legal would "end[] the depressed wages." What I said was in response to exactly what you wrote. Which makes you once again, either a liar or moron. Take your pick.
    Dude seriously? If every illegal were made legal. Then they would be paid minimum wage. Thus ending their depressed wage.

    Fuck I've had smarter discussions with an 8 year old.
    Just when you can’t get any moar stupid. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of illegals working construction at more than min wage now. They are taking jobs that should be paying $30-$50 per hour and doing it for $12-20 per hour.

    Yup, poor people are the reason other people are poor. Especially brown poor people.

    Like your wall wouldn’t stop all illegal immigration, no single part of this accomplishes everything. They are pieces to the puzzle. We’re literally in a thread about raising minimum wage and your point is how are we going to raise wages?

    Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

    I keep hearing the Rats talking about how all jobs should pay a "living wage" and Willie Brown's concubine just stated that you should be able to pay all your bills working just one job, I just wonder how many of you libs agree with this sentiment.

    Should I really be able to pay all of my bills working a fast food restaurant job, or working at a Walmart?

    It's all the proof you need that today's democrats suck at economics, despise work and don't believe in bettering themselves. It's way easier to protest and bitch that others are privileged while holding out your hands for free shit other people worked for.

    Your lack of grasping even the basic of economics is noted. So let me help you. When a builder can go to the Home Depot and pick up supplies and then also pick up labor for .33 to .50 on the dollar, many builders do it because there’s a surplus of labor to do the job. If that illegal labor wasn’t there, then the builder has to hire that labor at market value which raises wages organically again.

    Not if you don't pay your $2 share of the rent.

    Pay $2 less than the stated price next time you're at the store and see what happens. Love how the Times spins that shit to garner sympathy for a slacker who refused to pay her $2 share of the rent. But there's a sucker born every minute that will castigate the "evil" landlord for holding a slacker tenant to her promise. Who can't pay $2 for rent? Somebody who refuses to do so - a trouble-making scofflaw, that's who.

    I thought that what I said had nothing to do with what you wrote Kunt? So we can dispense with that lie.

    Hondo once again is too stupid to understand supply and demand.

    If a contractor can get away with paying his roofers the minimum wage, they've already depressed wages dumbfuck. Making all illegals legal just creates and even greater supply of labor thus depressing their wages. There are already plenty of jobs where you can't attract legal and many illegal workers if you're only willing to pay the minimum wage.

    But Hondo believes, because he is a fucking moron, that if you dump millions of formerly illegal workers into that labor market wages will some how rise because now they'll be able to earn the minimum wage.


    It must be nice going through life as a fucking moron Hondo, you never have to take the energy to actually think. You just run your ignorant mouth.
    They are already in the labor force and that work still needs to be done.

    Why am I not surprised you completely didn't answer my questions and went on this fucktarded tangent.
    And here's the question from Hondo that I didn't answer.

    Dude seriously?


    He didn't ask any other question. But look how quickly he goes for his jackass dance.

    Seriously, there is something fucking wrong in the head with these liberals. They aren't capable of rational thought nor in honestly addressing the other person's arguments. It's all emotions.

    Keep the average workers pay stagnant, for 50 years, then cry about how rich people pay all the taxes.

    Claim it’s the governments job to protect people, make a bunch of excuses why the government shouldn’t protect people.

    It’s the same notes over and over again. Yawn.

    Or you could fuck strawman ass when you don't want to honestly address other people's arguments.

    Who has kept the average workers pay stagnant? Do they have a name? Do you believe that people with job skills that only command a minimum wage in compensation should be able to support a family of four off that job, yes or no?
    Oh, we should be honest? What should minimum wage be then?

    And, I know, strawman. But your obvious bait is obvious. Stop begging for it.
    I don't believe there should be a minimum wage. Let the market set what wages are paid. And of course you dodged the questions you were asked.
    Ok, so you are the far right on this and I am the far left. You can’t get more extreme than no minimum wage. We’ll, slavery but I won’t accuse you of wanting that yet. The difference is it might be possible to run on my position and win.

    I’ll give you what you want. Yes, you should be able to raise a family on minimum wage.

    The net number of jobs will thus decline.

    Why does an employer pay someone $50 an hour? Why not pay the minimum wage?

    Do you know what would happen if you tried to pay people the minimum wage down here in SF? I suspect it's the same in Seattle. You wouldn't get any takers. In fact, the only workers you might find, depending on the type of job, who were willing to work for the minimum wage would be illegals.

    We have a minimum wage and yet employers pay more than that, often for entry level jobs, in order to attract workers who will do those jobs. Now why is that? Don't they know there's minimum wage? Why don't they just offer that?

    Now, if you abolished the minimum wage what makes you think the employers would immediate be able to start paying less than that and still be able to hold onto their workers who already aren't accepting jobs paying the current minimum wage?

    Did any of you fuckers ever take and econ class?
