You forgot the part where tax brackets stay the same so despite the fact you make the same real amount of dollars you now pay a higher % to the government
Also their debt to gdp goes down so they can borrow even more

>implying prices will go up to the point where we will be back to where we started

The cost of hiring employees is not the sole factor in pricing decisions senpai

>>55381768
Its a major factor and will have a huge effect on prices

If the economy's productivity raises 1% a year and you raise nominal wages by 3% percent, prices will only go up by 2%. You will have 1% higher real wage.

Being spoon-fed media lies does not a strong argument make.

So now raising the minimum wage will not affect inflation?

Just get the government out of people's lives. Things will be better

>No minimum wage
>No income tax
>less red tape meaning easier to get people jobs, and faster

The stupid people will remain poor and die off hopefully, the smart ones will become rich.

Cut government spending by 75% in all fronts. Only taxes are a flat rate sales tax. If you were working for the government and you get fired because we cut funding? too fucking bad. I went through that same shit. Get used to it. Find a new job. Adapt and overcome.

The price of a good is only partially determined by minimum wage labor. If 30% of the cost of a burger is labor, then doubling wages for said labor will only increase the cost of producing the burger by 30%. So prices may increase, but by a lesser percentage than wages.

Also, more wages for workers eliminates some corporate welfare in the form of food stamps and other government assistance for workers working a full time job who still are at/below the poverty level.

>raise minimum wage
>prices go up marginally
>corporate welfare decreases
