RE: Ontario’s New $15 per hr Minimum Wage
Only people who have not tried to live on minimum wage would want to deny a living wage..

Disagree. The reason people try to live on minimum wage is because there is a minimum wage. With no minimum wage salaries are higher because the economy rewards those who work harder or have better skills. For lower level employees everyone has a job but has to accept a low wage. The good thing is that everyone is employed. Have you tried to live with no job? Without minimum wage there would be no unemployment.
You arguments hold no logic... You can put the word slavery instead of minimum wage in your argument and it will have the same amount of logic you offer..which is not evolved from slavery days thinking .. Maybe you think slavery in us prisons is a good thing cause it is offering life experience..
It is already slavery. Taxing people to pay for prisons and welfare is just as much slavery as causing unemployment by creating a minimum wage. The best thing is for government to just get out of the way and let people take care of their families themselves without forcing others to pick up the tab.
Upvoted and followed.
Why stop at just $15 per hr? Let's just make it $20-$25 so we don't have to address it again in a few years time.
This way, people that serve my Starbucks can be paid just as much as my electrician or the carpenter that builds my house. They both share the same skill set and risks on the job right?
20 to 25 an hour is a living wage.. Meaning it covers a person who works full time basic expenses
