How people who vote for republicans think

A crapton of liberals have been clamoring for minimum wage increases. Seattle is one of the main hubs of the “economic experiment,” and if it’s any indication of how it would work on a national scale, we don't want ANYTHING to do with it.

First, let’s state the obvious. Managers are taking on more work. Businesses are laying off workers. Companies are cutting employee benefits.

But now, things are really starting to get real in liberal utopia.

Seattle’s $15 minimum wage is set to hit April 1st, and they’re already suffering the consequences. Businesses are already shutting down or leaving town, and IT HASN’T EVEN OFFICIALLY STARTED YET.

Too bad no one warned them of the impending economic disaster.

What percentage of households depends solely on one person earning minimum wage?

Please correct me or admit you do not have the answer.  I think my answer is right, but I really do not understand what this has to do with anything.  What is so important about the 12k per year and what does the 38% prove in regard to minimum wage..........I gave you the answer and still do not see the relevance.

It is important because your figures a SO FAR INCORRECT which proves Progressives want something although they admittedly here even, DO NOT KNOW WHY other than it makes them feel good.

No Progressive WANTS to know to whom the minimum wage applies and what it does or does not do.  That is why they steadfastly refuse to provide the answers THEY KNOW to these simple questions.  It simply destroys their argument for higher minimum wages and supports doing away with it entirely.

To remind the lazy again:

What is the average income where one worker in the household earns the minimum wage?

What percentage of households depends solely on one person earning minimum wage?
