That started happening when the left shifted from being stupid to being communist dupes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Minimum wage jobs are not OCCUPATIONS. They are not CAREERS.

But, to listen to the Left, such employees are being systemically exploited -- for a lifetime -- or some such.

How about: bogus minimum wage structure kills the first rung of employment.

Overwhelmingly, these slots are for TEENAGERS. As a class -- across all races -- current Federal policy brew is delaying the launch of this entire age cohort.

With Greece and Spain, you see this dynamic taken to extremes. 

0-care is just the topper. It functions as virtually a flat tax on unskilled labor -- on talent that has no track-record of employment.  

That&#039;s like having no credit history ... while seeking a loan. 

Teenagers need to have at least &lt;i&gt;some&lt;/i&gt; foot-hold in the labor market to begin their rise up the ranks. Minimum wage jobs are just that step.

So, it&#039;s much, much, much, worse than described. Barry is breaking the escalator of wage gains for the average Joe.

Classic Punahou thinking, this is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is there a picture of Black and Latino&#039;s in line for something. What are you trying to say when you use this picture. There are allot of white people out of work too. Don&#039;t make it look like if we change in the minimum wage is only going to Blacks and Latino&#039;s. These pictures are very misleading.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PS. I like the NYT headline on the same subject: &quot;Minimum Wage Increase Would Have Mixed Effects.&quot; That&#039;s putting a spin on what conservatives have been saying all along: some will lose their jobs when you jack-up wages for others. I can imagine the Times reporting a train derailing where 4 out of 300 get killed: &quot;Train Crash Has Mixed Results.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a general truth of economics that wage and price controls create shortages. Besides theory we have Richard Nixon (for those old enough).


In the case of an artificial wage level, there will be a shortages of jobs for the willing. Thus, some will get more while others go completely without. 


I think I mentioned here some time ago that in northern Europe they maintain wage levels low enough for labor to clear (and hence have low unemployment rates). Even Swedish and German unions care more about getting everyone employed than in helping a few to get bigger pay checks.


In southern Europe they jack-up income and hold it high while the unemployment reaches 25% overall and 50% for those under 30 years old (i.e. Spain, Greece, etc.) One might way that northern Europe, while partially socialist, at least is sane about it.


In any case, I was thinking today who someone should write about the creation of inequality by those who claim to be fighting inequality. I was wonder if I had the time ... thanks you saved me a job.


In case you want more there&#039;s also &quot;favored labor&quot; that gets bloated government pensions while &quot;common labor&quot; has to work until 70 years old to pay for those pensions (you talked about that before). There&#039;s crony big banks that get bailed out and get bigger while reasonable &quot;old school&quot; banks can&#039;t compete (see Hudson City Bank on Wikipedia). There&#039;s homeowners who are getting subsidized loans while 1/3 of the population rents and gets no deduction. Government is all about creating inequality ... by force, not the old fashion way: by earning it.]]></description>
