Re: Warren Buffett Don't raise the minimum wage
Of course labor has value. But why does someone else getting a raise insult you?
Surely, if your labor really is so much more valuable, your pay will also increase because your employer will have to out-compete fast food restaurants.
That isnt his problem, that IS a problem. When I started out in law enforcement I made $15 an hour as a part time officer. That is with a bachelor's degree and paying my own way through LE academy.
Now Im supposed to believe that someone flipping burgers making that same wage is A-OK? I was making felony arrests making that money...but thats called paying your damn dues. All those people working warehouse jobs that paid their dues to make $15+ as supervisors paid their dues. Come on bro....cant you admit that labor has a value? If you are working a job that requires no skill then you shouldnt be rewarded for breezing through life. That type of loser mindset makes my blood boil.
