10 Consequences of the $15 Minimum Wage

10 Consequences of the $15 Minimum Wage

Repeat something often enough and it goes from being an idea to dogma. This is the case of the repeated calls for a massive hike in the minimum wage to $15.00 / hour. Did employees of minimum wage start this? It would certainly lend credence to the authenticity of the demand, if it had. But, who started the $15 minimum wage demand?

In an effort to champion the worker, Democrats started the $15 minimum wage hike rhetoric. The problem was that, then candidate Trump, successfully rescued workers from the Democratic party. Where the democrats conceded that manufacturing and blue collar jobs were gone forever, candidate Trump waved his magic wand, as president Obama called it, and blue collar jobs appeared and the blue collar voters flocked to the republican party.

Of course, follow any money and politics isn't far behind. So the $15 minimum wage rhetoric is the last attempt by the democratic party to wrestle away workers from the republican party.

And it has some great strategy to it. Minimum wage workers aren't blue collar. A lot of Hispanics aren't blue collar, because they're mostly unskilled workers. So you basically kill two birds with one stone.

The problem is that this strategy isn't well thought out. Because, there are consequences to trying to actually raise the minimum wage to $15.00 / hour, versus just talking about it, which a lot of states are now actually doing.

10. where minimum wage is supposed to be paid to unskilled workers with no work experience, $15.00 / hour raises it squarely out of the unskilled market and into the skilled plus experienced market. So as a consequence, workers with no skills and no experience are fired and can't get hired.

9. because the jump to $15.00 / hour is so steep and quick, entire staff rosters are being fired and a much better caliber of worker is hired.

8. in the absence of employees who cannot make the company over and above the $15.00 / hour price tag, owners are now putting in double and triple shift hours in their business.

7. for owners who cannot make up the lack of qualified employees with more time, the business is shut down.

6. entire sectors of the market is being shut down, because that sector operates on a very tight profit margin and a big hike in labor cost like this, is too much.

5. as democrats look to score points with Hispanics, they forgot about unskilled Black workers, who are systematically and historically fired at double the rate of everyone else, so Black voters are turning to the Libertarian party or republican party.

4. as democrats hang their hopes on Hispanic voters, Black voters, who are in direct competition with Hispanic unskilled workers are causing even more competition as the market to hire and fire unskilled workers heats up and Blacks are left out in the cold. Entire neighborhoods are shifting from Black to Hispanic almost overnight, in democratic majority run cities around the country.

3. due to the great depression under Obama, Blacks who were fired were motivated to not seek more jobs, but to open more businesses, at a rate of double that of all other groups. Black business starts dominated the cycle in Obama's second term in office. Unfortunately, these businesses were heavily businesses that operated on a thin profit margin and as the $15.00 / hour labor cost skyrockets, so do Black businesses closing their doors.

2. in areas where the $15 minimum wage has already been implemented, businesses have raised their prices. So these businesses are mostly lower end businesses that minimum wage workers go to and they can't afford the price hikes. So instead of a salary boost, they are now in a city where they can't afford anything.

1. because this $15 minimum wage hike has come on so fast, the salaries of managers and superior staff has had to change, where paying the head restaurant manager who was making $15.00 an hour, now has to be paid $40 or more an hour and that goes down the roster with the lead cashier, assistant manager, etc. which means rate hikes for everything, in businesses that aren't low end, creating an environment where even mid level workers are now having to go without. And, because government workers are literally paid on a percentage of the minimum wage, their salaries go up, which then means city taxes and state taxes have to go up. Now the 1% are impacted, since they pay most of the taxes.

Police Murder Kid and Try to Cover it Up: Danroy Henry

Police Arrest Friends for Cover Up

Danroy Henry
Three college football players who saw a teammate get fatally shot by police outside a suburban bar were brutalized by officers and arrested when they tried to help their mortally wounded friend, their lawyer said Wednesday.

One player knows CPR and begged the police to let him try to save Danroy Henry, but instead “they put a gun to his ribs and they told him to back … up or he would be next,” attorney Zelman told The Associated Press.

She said the other two teammates were zapped with stun guns when they tried to intervene. They said Henry, “was on the pavement, handcuffed and dying, and no one was helping him,” she said.

Kieran O’Leary, a spokesman for the Westchester County police, which made the arrests, said the department had received no formal complaint regarding excessive force. “If we received one, we’d look at it,” he said.

Zelman did not make allegations against specific officers, claiming some of them covered their badges.

by Barry Leibowitz  WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (CBS/AP) Four, Pace University, football players who were arrested after teammate, Danroy Henry, was fatally shot by police want an immediate dismissal of the charges against them.

Their attorney, Bonita Zelman, calls the charges a cover-up for police brutality. She successfully opposed prosecutors' request to postpone Thursday's scheduled court appearance, saying, "If they don't have enough evidence now to bring the case...they didn't have enough to charge them."

A spokesman for Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore said Wednesday that the judge in the case had denied a request for a two week delay.

Prosecutors say the four students' cases are part of an ongoing investigation into the Oct. 17 shooting death of the 20-year-old Henry, of Easton, Mass. The junior was shot to death in his car near the scene of a disturbance outside a bar in Thornwood, about 25 miles north of New York City.

Police say Henry sped away and hit two officers after another officer knocked on his car window. Michael Sussman, a lawyer for Henry's family, claims that witnesses, including passengers in the car, contradict the police account. The district attorney is coordinating an investigation.

The teammates were arrested in the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. Three allegedly interfered with getting medical aid to Henry and one was charged with breaking a store window.

Zelman said last month that her clients - Daniel Parker, Joseph Garcia and Yves Delpeche, all 22, and Joseph Romanick, 21 - were brutalized by officers at the scene. Police say they have received no brutality complaint.

After the shooting, Henry was handcuffed and placed on the pavement by officers. Mount Pleasant police Chief Louis Alagno said last week that Henry received treatment from officers within three to five minutes of the first report of a shooting.

But some witnesses have alleged that Henry was neglected for up to 15 minutes after he was shot. Zelman said last month that Parker, of Lauderhill, Fla., knows CPR and begged police to let him try to save Henry, but instead "they put a gun to his ribs and they told him to back ... up or he would be next."

Zelman said she's seeking dismissal so "these false criminal charges won't be hanging over the heads of these innocent kids any longer." She also said some of the defendants' relatives have arranged to fly in from out of state.




[my take on the story]
Frankly this is just monstrous and thank God there were so many witnesses to completely block the police's story on this. So many people, blatantly and blindly believe the police when they say, someone ran or fled the scene of a crime. The fact is, police lie all the time. I would say, according to a policeman who was giving an instructional speech at law school, that police lie 90% of the time. They have NO obligation to tell the truth, nor do they have to tell you your rights, all of them, under the law. You are obligated to know your rights on your own. Ignorance is no defense, under the law. Therefore, police can lie through their teeth and get away with it. They don't have to tell you anything and they can falsify whatever they want, and do.
