The "living wage" argument is really scraping the bottom of the lib barrel of ridiculous ideas. Why not make the minimum wage $25/hr. Or $35/hr. How are you going to prevent inflation from correcting the disparity in value. Money is just barter and prices reflect the value that society has placed on various goods and services through the individual transactions of millions of people independently pursuing their own interests. Prices are essentially the point where supply meets demand. If you push a wage artificially beyond it's actual worth all you do is inflate the currency. It may give a short term benefit to the few people working for minimum wage, but since wages of all those making more than the minimum (i.e. middle class) will not rise as quickly as the spurred inflation rates, they would have less purchasing power.

 

But hoity toity libs in the top quintile (or living off their trust fund) can sit around rubbing their genitals and enjoying the smell of their own farts while wallowing in their own pompous, self-aggrandizing fantasy starring themselves as the altruistic champions of the poor inferior slobs who have them to thank for their station

hmmmmm...sounds a lot like class warfare to me. in the first paragraph we have lower against middle and in the second, middle against upper. no wonder you feel the middle always gets screwed....never a good idea to fight wars on 2 fronts
