    Anyone who wants to work should have the right to a good job. My new bill tests a basic question: Can we give every American a shot at a day's work and, by introducing real competition into the labor market, raise wages for all workers?https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/20/17260578/cory-booker-job-guarantee-bill-full-employment-darity-hamilton …

        Two questions with this article. First, I've always thought an increased min wage only hurts middle class as Wal-Mart etc just raises prices. This won't be evident in a 15 area test as Wal-Mart will be able to absorb that amount. Also, why do so many 16 year

        Historically there has been little to no inflation following a federal increase in the minimum wage, and cities like Seattle who have already raised theirs to $15/hr are having the same results. And eventually it forces wages at all levels to rise. Helps middle class.

        Do you have some good resources for this? I'd just like to see how it actually works out on paper

        This one is interesting, too. And neither of them are pretending that it is magic pill and would have zero negative effects. But it’s not the doomsday that many incorrectly claim.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/02/raising-minimum-wage/318389/ …

        Umm everyone has the ability to get a good job. The American dream shouldn’t be free or even subsidized by the govt. It should be perused by hard work and only the most persistent and hardest working should obtain such a dream. How do you all not believe in that??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Private corporations legally only have to pay the minimum wage and they can pick their employees based on race and other factors that discriminate...do you not understand that?????

        Yes I completely understand that. Do you understand that capitalism works off of competition? If a company needs more employees, they will raise their wages. Simple concept.

        Anyone that wants a job CAN work. It's called taking initiative in your own life. It's not the govs responsibility to hand out jobs AND it definitely shouldn't be a business owners to give them away to people that are unqualified.

        Hey @CoryBooker what about the deadbeats who want to live off the public dole and not do work even though they are able? What does your initiative do about them

        A hike in minimum wages or a rule stipulating shares being granted to employees (profit sharing esque) or a limit on exec pay as a ratio to avg employee pay might be needed to keep this in check. Walmart can hire all day at $7.25-$11/hr but so peeps want that?
