Livable minimum wage for those who work at entry-level jobs at fast-food restaurants, retail, and other positions filled by those in their late teens and early twenties?\u00a0 (r\/The_Donald\/)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Democrats argue that the minimum wage should be increased, that labor unions are a necessary evil, that jobs should provide a livable wage, that businesses should not outsource, etc. Their argument gives the impression that any job out there is meant for them.<\/p>\n

A conservative counter-argument to these claims? Jobs exist as an investment. They exist because businesses are hoping to make money. They don’t exist to put food on the table. Whether or not a person lands a job with a decent wage or salary depends on a lot of factors… Including the job seeker’s marketability, experience, skillset, etc.<\/p>\n

But, what if the “progressives” get what they want? For example, they receive a 40-hour workweek that’s enough to support their standard of living. What if they get their other demands, like companies not being able to outsource? They receive a livable wage for working at a fast-food restaurant, no second job needed?<\/p>\n

Milt Thomas, a Newsmax contributor, adds a dose of reality to leftist expectations:<\/span><\/p>\n

Big Box retailers exemplify the consequences of this paradox. Their size, mass and buying power allow them to deliver EDLP (Everyday Low Price) guarantees through sinfully brutal negotiations and, thereby, meet the ever-escalating low-cost consumer demands, while sustaining product integrity.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the sails that ferry jobs offshore are filled by a gale force called a spoiled consumer, low-cost expectations have become a subculture unto itself and show no signs of abating.<\/p>\n

If American companies are ever politically, socially or legally required to remand job-hires to on-shore American workers, a rude awakening would bring inevitable and extreme hiking of consumer prices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The consumer wants better quality at a lower price. Corporations meet the cost aspect by finding ways to cut production costs. Outsourcing to a location with cheaper labor and more attractive tax rates makes business sense. Even when outsourcing isn’t factored in, there’s this contradiction that involves raising taxes on corporations, their leaders, and on their investors while preventing them from outsourcing.<\/p>\n
