AOC: $15 Minimum Wage a ‘Deep, Deep Compromise,’ Should Be $24

Do you want to be a clerk in a book store, or earn enough in an industrial job to own a decent middle class home? Would you rather perpetually live in your mom's basement, or be a homesteader raising crops and livestock?

The "Democrats Communist solution is perpetual ghettos on substandard wage just barely getting by, with expensive but worthless leftist propagandaeducation that results in endless student debt.

That is nonsense and guaranteed to fail and bankrupt the American Republic.

Globalism is a weapon against the future middle class your friend.

Just shut up and accept your fate as a mindless peon on slave wages by guarnteed incomeDemocracy is Hope and Change.

Yeah but when the stimulus money goes to other parts of the world I rather that money stays here or not having any money to share at all.

Yeah let's raise everyone's minimum wage artificially to $15 an hour because then they will automate every clerk job with a robot because you forced business owner's hand to create actual slaves who never get paid or receive benefits.

To be a Democrat either means wanton worship of Satan or being a blithering drooling idiot or both.

ERRRAH THANG IZ FREE

They have flooded in so many chain immigrants and outsourced so many jobs that the USA does not understand the consequences of those actions anymore.

Back in the day anyone working at MCdonalds and raising three kids on that pay was seen as a hard case. Now it is 100% percent normal.

AOC is right though that wages have been stagnant for over 20 years but minimum wage has however normally increased.

I am seeing more WHITE kids/elderly taking these fast food and entry level minimum wage jobs now. That is how it should work. Build yourself up to something better or downsize to something easier.

If you think you are underpaid then STRIKE. Most times they will pay.

I didn’t know the economy revolved around gas prices ... are you really that clueless? You and that dumb bitch deserve each other.

Anyway, if you want to play stupid games gas was around .31 a gallon, in 1961 which is $2.71 in todays money, aaaand that is close to the actual price today.

You LOSE again ... and please learn math.

Thanks dumbass.

You know AOC is paid a lot when she thinks $15 an hour is nothing and shoots for $24 an hour.

Just think if we had the Democrats in power and no philabuster we would have free college, free medical and $24.00 / hr (~$50000 / yr).

Also, at that rate, it would not be a problem to raise a family of 4 working at McDonalds or Starbucks. And the people who go passed entry level would be making a hole lot more. (also UBI could be an option).

Who would not want this? And it is just a simple vote away. This is happiness and it would be so simple to make it happen!!!

People wake up !

AOC has an economics degree.

From a Cracker Jack box?

Okay, I looked into this further out of sheer curiosity. I can't help it, my mind is overly analytical with details.

I'm not defending AOC in any way or stating an opinion on the matter.

What AOC said is if we account for inflation and productivity gains, the hourly wage should be $24 an hour.

I found the following chart in an article on ResearchGate.

So it does appear that her statement was close to accurate after all.

I see many others in the thread didn't compute what was actually said either.

Like I said earlier, just sorting out facts. I have brian damage so I have an uncontrollable need/urge to do so.

This woman needs a 72 hour hold. : (

From Boston University an ivy league school with an internationally recognized economics program.

OK faggggot

Make online technical school education free but with annual tests and organized demonstration of proficiency. Really most in school college education is total bullshit.

Why stop at $24?? Union wages are nearly $50.....go for it! Make America Rich Again.....ROFLMAO

guess what ate all that gain?

its called inflation due to interest rates due to government debt due to paying twats like AOC too much money and allowing them to spend all day long designing new ways to waste it.

HAHAHA......yeah, but how did SHE get in?? And, what was her standing in her graduation class??

Only a Democrat would simultaneously push globalism and guaranteed slave wages.

It is absurd.

We are in a monumental supply chain crisis only because we lack domestic industrial capacity and these shitheads push globalism when we could put every single American of working age to work.

Don't pay attention in school, or drop out, have kids but don't get married, and yeah, it might.

So, don't do that.

Ask yourself this question:

What do birds do first, lay eggs or build a nest?

You want young couples to own homes, not have just enough money not to starve and have to be humiliated at 30 and be single and living in a basement.

How stupid can you get?

We could make it beneficial for ladies to be housewives and moms and so improve their children's education and health and simultaneously reduce MONUMENTAL public education costs!

Do you have any idea how much public education costs? And it largely producing leftist morons with abysmal test scores. It is a colossal failure.

Double down very much a Dumass wow no clue what this would do to most states. She's ridiculous

Someone tell me how anyone could believe this is a good idea? 1st. The only states that could afford this is new uyork, california, washington ect. It would destroy all businesses in all the other states. What happens to people that worked for 20 some years makes $20 something and now all new hires make almost asuch ect sorry it's bad idea then prices all go up and everyone makes the same punt. I believe that's what they want get rid of the middle class

Intelligent lady.
