    So you think. It is already proving to not be beneficial as the cost of business goes up, the number hired goes down.

    Not my cup of tea, I am not a conservative...

    I can explain Trump agenda though - America first, better trade deals, more economic freedoms, law and order, energy independence, restoration of the manufacturing industry...

    Unlike the commie manifesto, Trump didn't give Americans the right to earn a living, his policies created 10 million new high paying jobs at which Americans who want to work do earn a living. Full employment Trump has created delivers what the manifesto merely proclaims.

    The number of people working remains exactly the same.

    No one loses their jobs, they just stop working the 2nd and 3rd jobs because they being paid properly for the 1st job.

    Creditors don't sell anything because they don't own anything. The assets that the business owns are ordered to be sold by the courts
    and the proceeds are distributed to the creditors on a percentage basis. How is it that you refuse to understand this basic stuff?
    I think that you must be very difficult to work with since you don't wish to learn and think that you already know everything.

    No. Who is going to pay them "properly"? They will lose their first job if the payroll is too high.

    Unskilled Americans won't dig holes because they are lazy.

    Almost all of these UNDERPAID people ALREADY work at least TWO jobs in order to make ends meet.

    So if someone puts in 16 hours a day at TWO jobs earning $7.50 per hour that comes to $120 per day.

    ONE of the jobs increases to $15 per hour so now that person ONLY has to work 8 hours to earn the SAME $120 per day.

    They no longer NEED the 2nd job. If that 2nd job disappears it won't matter because the 1st job is all that is necessary now.

    They have been lazy for decades. Nothing to do with liberals, conservatives, or the Trump party. Has to do with parenting.

    Thats liberal myth

    Most of the “working” poor are single women with children

    They work a little to supplimrnt welfare and the qualify for the unEarned Income Tax Credit

    The live-in boyfriends work a little if they feel like it

    Which they often do not feel like doing

    But before the No Fault welfare state lazy people had to work at least enough to feed their stomach

    Yes, the first job is all that is necessary to him, but if the employer cannot afford to pay that large hourly wage, he is toast.

    And that is exactly what they will do, as slowly and as sloppy as possible.

    He is ONLY toast if BOTH employers cannot pay him $15 per hour. That significantly reduces his odds of no longer being employed at all.

    https://www.npr.org/2019/07/08/7396...million-workers-cut-1-3-million-jobs-cbo-says

    https://www.census.gov/library/stor...ed-states-workers-have-more-than-one-job.html

    There are about 8 million people working two or more jobs out of the 17 million total who would be eligible for an increase in the minimum wage.

    That means that 17 million people are working a total of 25 million jobs.

    That means that MORE than 8 million jobs would have to be LOST in order for anyone to no longer have a job.

    But that would require looting and enslavement. Forcing people at the point of a gun to pay what you want them to.
