In other words you have no argument, just take a weak version of our sound arguments and call it dishonest and wrong. Pathetic.

Your argument causes suffering. That way of thinking is on the way out.

yeah right, it's not like this shit has been debunked dozens of times just in this forum, or that one minute on google would yield you literally dozens of sources illustrating how fallacious and superficial it is, right? like i said, the only idiots still clinging on to that stupid talking point are complete economic illiterates, or people who simply don't WANT to inform themselves because they rather lick the boots of their respective masters (both sides tbf) - so i'm not surprised to see you eagerly expose your ignorance like that, lol. you probably believe in the whole "trickle down" myth too, right?

What's interesting is that many minimum wage jobs are primarily in industries which cater to working / lower-middle class (e.g. fast food).

Even in the event that the minimum wage functions as anticipated, and the gains are passed primarily to the consumer, the cost is born primarily by the less to moderately fortunate.

If we want to subsidize wages, we should simply subsidize wages. The minimum wage is awful policy.

subsidizing the poor with taxes aimed directly at corporations that make money on underpaying them is a far better idea than making a minimum wage which gives those corporations the choice to replace the low paid employees. employees would still likely lose jobs, but they'd have new social programs to fall back on rather than fuckall.

it's no shock dumb dumb heinrich doesnt understand this, its a similar case to his biden over bernie for a progressive future misunderstanding. often the quickest path to something is not the path the crow flies. 2 steps forward 1 step back is still a step forward, and beats a step back if you're aims are for a progressive future. its hard for people to understand being pragmatic if they're too morally minded tho.

Yea, if you're a fucking idiot.

Nah, I would 100% be better off with a ubi, I only pay capital gains tax and can easily get my taxable income to zero.
