The Culture Of Corruption: Raising The Minimum Wage

In the Comments section to a very perceptive post by Stacy McCain on what he calls Obama’s Part-Time Proletariat, Adjoran and RS lay bare the foul corruptions behind the frequent calls to raise the Minimum Wage in the name of ‘fairness’ and ‘Social Justice.

First, Adjoran:

Virtually NONE of the people Democrats claim to want to “help” would actually benefit from an increase in the minimum wage. That’s because almost nobody stays at minimum very long. Even burger flippers who are barely adequate get a small raise when they pass their probationary period, and regular, if small, increments from there.

In almost any field that starts out at minimum wage, if you aren’t making more than that in six months it’s because you are so woefully incompetent you probably will be fired during the probationary period.

So WHO profits by hiking the minimum wage, then? Unions. Many union contracts are tied to the minimum wage in some fashion or another, and the union wages go up automatically when the minimum does. Since unions have been Obama’s most dependable supporters and enforcers, it’s a way for him to reward them yet again without appearing to.

RS added this to Adj’s point:

And the federal government. For every dollar increase in minimum wage, the government gets 15 cents in FICA and Medicare taxes.

The never-ending battles being waged by the Left In America to see that the Wage is raised again and again and again are so riddled with cancerous corruption that one wonders if the patient can be saved.

But, then again, one wonders a lot these days if The United States Of America can be saved or are it’s governments so infected with corruption that we would make better use of our time and energy planning for a new country, one that salvages as much as it can from the the original old one, but is instituted anew in a new and different form.
