What a racket. Hillary Clinton promises to jail employers who engage in “wage theft.” Wage theft. What could possibly justify that? It sounds like
taking wages away from innocent, hard-working people, brazenly stealing
their hard earned property. Should people guilty of “wage theft” be
immediately jailed? Of course! I did a little research on the ... MORE

Dr. Michael Hurd: Wage Theft
What a racket. Hillary Clinton promises to jail employers who engage in “wage theft.” Wage theft. What could possibly justify that? It sounds like
taking wages away from innocent, hard-working people, brazenly stealing
their hard earned property. Should people guilty of “wage theft” be
immediately jailed? Of course! I did a little research on the ... MOREWalter E Williams: Liberal Reasoning - Idiotic or Dishonest?
A very convenience understanding at minimum. Many people argue that liberals, socialists and progressives do not understand basic economics. I am not totally convinced about that. Take the law of demand, for example, one of the fundamental principles of economics. It holds that the lower the cost of something the more people will ... MOREUnintended Consequences Of Seattle's Minimum Wage Hike
by Alex Vargo. A cure much worse than the disease. Like any well-intentioned law, government-imposed minimum wage increase seem to help workers, at least on the surface. But is it really as easy as mandating that employers pay their employees more? In the restaurant industry, there are three possible consequences for young workers that ... MORESteve Berman: ‘McJobless In Seattle’ As Order Screens Arrive: Labor Day Reality Check For $15 Minimum Wage
Minimum wage results in maximum unemployment. While it seems liberals may think that raising the minimum wage will raise living standards for poor Americans, they should have seen this coming. With Los Angeles joining Seattle in
setting a $15 minimum wage (Los Angeles by 2020, and Seattle by 2021),
it stands to reason that McDonald’s ... MOREMore Unemployment Ahead As Minimum-Wage Offensive Will Likely Speed Arrival Of Robot-Powered Restaurants
by Lydia DePillis. Crowded. That’s how Ed Rensi remembers what life was like working at McDonald’s in 1966. There were about double the number of people working in the store — 70 or 80, as opposed to the 30 or 40 there today — because preparing the food just took a lot more doing. “When I first started at McDonald’s making 85 cents an ... MOREHow The Federal Government Betrayed Millennials
by Veronique deRugy. Candidates running for president should take the following warning seriously: Years of bad government policies catering to interest groups have created a generation of young people facing tremendous challenges in the labor market and little chance to experience the good old American dream. We can hope that someone ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Fact-Free Left: Part II
Intentions trump results, every time. There is no way to know what is going on in someone else's mind. But sometimes their behavior tells you more than their words. The political left's great claim to authenticity and honor is that what they advocate is for the benefit of the less fortunate. But how could we test that? T.S. Eliot once said, ... MORECosts From Regulations Pile Up, Hurt Small Business Profits
by Joyce M. Rosenberg. Govt's war on capitalism. It's getting more expensive to be an employer and small business owners say that's making it harder for them to make money. The health care law, minimum wage
increases and paid sick leave laws in some states and cities are
increasing costs. Small companies also face the prospect of higher
overtime ... MOREHigher Minimum Wage Leads To Price Rises And Job Losses
by Tim Worstall. We have been trying to tell people for some time now that raising the minimum wage just isn’t this costless exercise that so many seem to think it is. Raising that minimum wage means a pretty large amount of money flowing to one specific group of people in the economy. Which, given that we’ve not created any new money here, ... MOREFast Food Restaurant Responds To Minimum Wage Hike
by Kaitlyn Schallhorn. Some raise prices, others layoff workers. As San Francisco is set to raise its minimum wage to $15 over the next few years, Chipotle raised the price of its food. According to Investors Business Daily, Chipotle in San Francisco raised its prices as much as 14.4 percent as the Golden Gate City raised its minimum wage by 14 percent. ... MORE
The $15 Minimum Wage Would Cost 300,000 Jobs
by Tim Worstall. There’s an absolutely fascinating little piece of information in George Osborne’s budget over in my native UK. For it gives us a firm calculation of the number of job losses that will come from a rise in the minimum wage in that country. And we can adapt that estimate to the United States and the effect of the $15 an hour that is ... MOREWhy Should Government Demand Wage Rates Rather Than Let Individuals Be Free To Pursue Their Own Interests?
by Chuck Barnard. We should all be free to work for a business based on our personal criteria, including the wage they pay. What right do any of these progressives have to tell someone who would agree to work for another individual for a mutually agreed-upon wage that they can’t? How do they have the right to say to someone they must work for a ... MOREThe Effects Of The Minimum Wage Rise In San Francisco
by Tim Worstall. As we keep trying to point out to people there really isn’t anything even remotely resembling a free lunch when it comes to the discussion of wages and labor. Meaning that just because well meaning liberals wave their magic wand and decree that wages will rise there will indeed be countervailing effects. And in San Francisco, where ... MORECheerleaders To Get Minimum Wage Under California Law
by Justin Worland. Now, maybe the pretty girls will try out. New legislation in California would protect cheerleaders for professional sports teams from receiving low pay that some in the industry say amounts to less than minimum wage. The bill, the first of its kind in the nation, passed the California State Senate Monday and awaits the signature of ... MOREMcDonald’s Response To $15 An Hour Minimum Wage
by Farley Elliott. It seems that most of the online restaurant platforms looking to deliver us into the future are primarily aimed at just getting the world to interact less and less in person. Food delivery and personal meal apps are all the rage — and allow anyone to just sit at home in soiled sweatpants forever — as are reservation systems and payment ... MORENew York Democrats Begin To Realize Minimum Wage Means Maximum Unemployment For Low-Skill Workers
by Novell Rose. It is not about politics, it is about math. It happened in Seattle — pay goes up, business goes down. As Western Journalism reported about the city’s $15-per-hour minimum wage law, an article in Seattle Magazine raised the red flag about the red ink a number of local restaurants would be facing because of the increasing labor ... MOREBrian Doherty: L.A.'s Minimum Wage Hike: A Teaching Moment For Those Trying To Help The Underprivileged
Harder to do good for someone if it costs a lot more. A lightly annotated story from today's L.A. Times from the frontline of the politically connected trying to claim special exemptions from L.A's forthcoming minimum wage hike, which highlights not the corruption of the politically connected seeking special favors but the logic ...
