Report: Minimum wage hike backers rarely pay interns

Just because lawmakers want businesses to pay more for entry-level workers, doesn’t mean they are willing to do so themselves.
According to a new study by the Employment Policies Insitute (EPI), only four percent of the 210 lawmakers who pledged their allegiance to a bill raising the minimum wage pay their interns.
The Fair Minimum Wage Act would increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour. EPI found that 96 percent of its House and Senate supporters give their interns a minimum wage of zero.
“It’s an election year tactic. It’s an attempt to leverage people who are dissatisfied with the current state of the economy,” Saltsman told TheDCNF. “Instead of talking about Obamacare, we are talking about class warfare. I think Democrats are hoping they can use this to draw a contrast with Republicans and in close races around the country make them look like they are out of touch with the middle-class people.”
A number of studies have suggested that minimum wage increases harm the job prospects of lower-skilled workers and fail to deliver as an anti-poverty measure.
“I think this shows that it is really not about the workers… The fact that we keep talking about the minimum wage in the context of an election year means that it is a more cynical plan to put more Democrats in office,” Saltsman said. “Unfortunately, it is entry-level employees who are going to be fronting the tab.”

提高底工作人事工资的方法是取消福利, 低工资的活就没人干了, 自然就得提高工资。否则低工资的工作就是让资本家占纳税人的便宜,不够部分靠福利来补。这种在福利政策下提高工资无非是通货膨胀而已, 在中产工资收入不提高的同时,就会降低中产生活水平,产生恶性循环。

取消福利也不现实,吃福利的人口也不能饿死

长期(终身)福利只能导致人的惰性,最后的结果就是贫困人口越来越多,不可避免的要死掉(造反,犯罪)。

我老困惑的是,对业主来说提高最低工资也就是提高物价和服务价格。会带来一点通胀。这个比大批人吃福利总好 ...

领八块要领福利, 领10块也会领, 收入快到了福利的临界线,就少工作几小时, 除非把高最低工资提到二十几块加上医疗保险, 否则根本没作用。
