Sorry, I disagree. - Tired

Posted: May 26th, 2016 - 12:01 am In Reply to: A nickel or a dime to replace profit lost by increasing - minimum wage to $15?

I read something a couple of years ago that said that if Wal-Mart raised wages to $15.00 per hour, they would only have to raise prices on each item by something like a dime.

They're thinking like businesses, all right. "More for me -- Less for you." Look at how Nuance has destroyed middle-class jobs by buying up the competition.
