The minimum wage does not, in fact, correlate with significant inflation. You can certainly debate whether or not raising the minimum wage results in job losses, but the economy is generally adjusted for individuals that earn far more than a paltry $7.25 per hour. Bear in mind that only a very, very small portion of the US population actually works at the minimum wage.
No credible economist would argue that inflation increases significantly by raising the minimum wage.
1. You say a "very very small portion" of people even work for minimum wage, and yet you somehow find it an absolute necessity to inject your opposing opinions into such an admittedly unimportant topic.
How odd.
How odd and contrarian.
2. You say there is no significant inflation caused by raising the minimum wage, which makes this whole thread a NON-ISSUE... and yet here you are irresistibly drawn to debating the people here over a non-issue.
Again, how very odd.
3. According to you, there is no inflation attributed to minimum wage, and very few people even work at minium wage... so... WHY ARE YOU HERE DEBATING SUCH AN UNIMPORTANT TOPIC THAT AFFECTS SO FEW PEOPLE?
Just bored?
Just like to argue.
Just want to create conflict on a Christian forum?
Just have an agenda that you are too deceptive to openly admit?
4. In your efforts to rigorously oppose a topic which you ADMIT effects VERY FEW PEOPLE ANYWAY... you actually stoop to the intellectually dishonest hyperbole of saying "no credible economist".
That is complete hyperbole, and it is intellectually dishonest, and you know it.
You threw that out with ZERO FACTS, ZERO EVIDENCE, and ZERO SUPPORT of any kind.
Furthermore, you know perfectly well it is LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to even ATTAIN a list of "all economists" from which to make this fictitious list of "all credible economists".
Furthermore, WHO exactly gets to determine WHICH economists in the world are credible?
You?
Are YOU the final arbiter of which economist are credible?
Or maybe isn't YOU that's the final arbiter of the word "credible"... maybe it's a political organization you belong to?
Maybe?
Hmmm?
You entire argument is a SHALLOW and OBVIOUS attempt to simply INTIMIDATE people by running over them with FICTITIOUS and OVERBLOWN data... data which defies all logical possibility of even existing.
This is not something honest people do.
5. You claim to be only 20, and yet you seem to have opinions, facts, and data on everything from the research methods of the Washington Post, to the economic opinions of ALL CREDIBLE ECONOMISTS.
I won't even mention the fact that you seem so well trained in presenting fictitious and overblown data with the obvious intent of intimidating people. A level of intentional deception and rarely attained by a 20 year old.
You aren't the first activist to come here lying about data, lying about their age, and lying about their intentions.
We get this all the time.
