The economy is not a machine - it's an ecosystem.

we simply need a better, "taxation orbit" using the law of large numbers, "for propulsion". A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage may not be optimum, but it is a start.

We could be raising more revenue; and the right wing could be mollified that the poor are paying more taxes.
WTF are you talking about?
 
Right.. well I would suggest that before you "offer complex economic concepts", you understand simple concepts like "private sector" vs Government sector".. and how government spending ends up in the private sector. :peace
Already understand all that and explained it in excruciating detail above yo no avail.
 
Probably not because so many will be fired or have their hours reduced.


Actually, your link is out of date - we now have more openings that people looking.

Why is that not the case in jurisdictions that have higher than national average minimum wages? They tend to have lower unemployment rates.

there is no unemployment under Capitalism, only underpayment.

Lets see some proof.

"Ecosystem" is a bad metaphor for neocons to be enamored with since even ecosystems can become deserts without man.

We could learn from the Romans (and we are) take the army in, make it a desert...and call it peace. (empire)

Eco-systems can become desert with man.

Nope.. you argued against that point initially. then went off on tangents that had nothing to do with the original point in an effort to save face.. and finished by insulting me...

In other words.. you are a poor loser... have a nice day. :peace
 
so what; we have that now. Seattle and San Francisco have lower unemployment rates even with a higher minimum wage.

The right wing only has vaporware.
BLS say Seattle unemployment rate is 3.8% just about national average. Got anything else?
 
I am not making any assumptions. Government spending means spending from homeland security and anti terrorism.. to Medicaid for long term care for the elderly.

that is not what private sector spending does, without a profit motive; regardless of social motive, in most cases.
