Minimum Wage Increase = Layoffs

From AZ Central:
Oh, for the days when Arizona's high school students could roll pizza dough, sweep up sticky floors in theaters or scoop ice cream without worrying about ballot initiatives affecting their earning power.

That's certainly not the case under the state's new minimum-wage law that went into effect last month.

Some Valley employers, especially those in the food industry, say payroll budgets have risen so much that they're cutting hours, instituting hiring freezes and laying off employees. advertisement

And teens are among the first workers to go.
Youth of America, pay attention...your liberal friends in the Democrat Party and their willing accomplices in the "moderate" wing of the Republican Party have put you out of a job. Remember this next time they tell you you should get a job... And if you lost your job, thank the union thugs pulling the strings of your Demcorat friends...

This is the result of class warfare Democrat style...

Mark's Remarks


It appears the smartest people in the room never took economics 101, or even high school economics. Price ceilings, price floors, all are bad, and all equal bad things for the economy. However, these people are gods, just ask them. They know better. So, you starry eyed teens who hate all things Conservative and Capitalistic, the next time you go to get a job and you are told no thanks for that pizza job, just thank those liberal socialist Democrats you love to love so much.
