The Minimum wage WAR that rages within America.

The Minimum wage war that rages within America.

The cries, the demands and the whines of those who seem to think the government should raise the minimum wage up to $10.00 or $15.00 an hour have not really pondered, researched, or analyzed the end results of that. Just what do they think is going to happen?  Hmm?

First of all, the fact remains of the cost of living will go up even higher than it is now to accommodate that hike in wages.  Common sense should tell these people that.  Then guess what, all those will be in the same complaining state that they are in right now.  What will change? Absolutely nothing for anyone with the exception of the prices of commodities and taxes (does America need more taxes?) will keeping going even higher than it was before the complaining of minimum wage.  It really is a no brainer to figure all this out.

Second, it will have a ricocheting effect on businesses, which by the way, will be devastating to all because, think about it, the price of a loaf of bread has already reach almost $5.00 a loaf (depending on what type of bread you choose to purchase).  Now of course, the ones doing the complaining will probably have their temporal victory, a temporal amount of extra money in their pockets until the hike in prices take effect and it is a guarantee that the price of everything will go up and, of course, that price hike starts chipping away at their so called raise. And they will be right back out in the streets whining, complaining, and murmuring about their minimum wage, yet again. 

Then,  there is the stupidity of the thought of even the consideration of that thought to raise minimum wage at such a higher dollar amount is ridiculous in itself because of that ricocheting reaction of terrible events that will happen to the American people financially.  It just does not affect minimum wage earners, it affects every single American citizen in the United States of America and not in a pleasant way either.

Minimum wage jobs were created for the teenagers and young adults as part time jobs while in high school to teach them about earning money and working for a living or college to supplement their fees, book cost, room and board (if they live on campus), and whatever else they may need while attending college earning their education for a better future for themselves.  It was not meant to be made a career out of.  It is a stepping stone until they have graduated from college and out into the workforce and it is also there for those people who are in-between jobs while they search and hope for better work to come along. It is not a job to make a career out of.

The mentality level of that kind of thinking is basically on the same level of thinking as those who seem to think that the world owes them something.  There is a phrase that has been said, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesars’ and unto God what is Gods’". In other words, no one owes anyone anything except for what is required of them by law and by morals.

America is being oppressed but by its very own people who seems to think they deserve more than what they are qualified for.  There is a saying going around on many of the college campuses regarding this subject of minimum wage earners.  Basically everyone, so far, that has heard it agrees with that saying. Now, of course,  there may be some that do not agree with it, but it goes something like this, “If they [minimum wage earners] want higher pay and more money they too need to go to college and get an education like the rest of us.”  It is not right that those who did get the education they needed or even those who enlisted in the armed forces (can’t forget them because they put their lives on the line for this country) to have to make the same level of pay as a minimum wage earner who does not have a degree.  If they want higher wages then they need to go get the education for themselves to earn that better pay.

Finally, while those people are fighting to raise minimum wage, think of its impact on America’s future finances because that is exactly what will be impacted the hardest and it will happen.  It is guaranteed to happen.  Do the research and see what the price of bread, candy, milk, and other commodities are.  Do not be deceived thinking prices will go down because that is not what is going to happen unless someone can get this debt ceiling back down and America’s financial checkbook in balance again.

To conclude, a minimum wage hike is the last thing America needs right now because it will have a terrible , devastating, and  ricocheting effect in so many areas in the American financial status. This is not a board game of life to play with, it is real life that needs to be addressed and handled in a responsible, mature, and careful manner that teaches the righteousness of handling money and earning money properly because so many do not know how to handle their money in a righteous manner as they should for their own well-being. 

It seems backwards, messed up and Americans who love America needs to rescue America from allowing the wage hike to go through because right now is not the time for it to happen. America is deep in debt enough, it does not need to go any deeper because if it does, America will drown.  Those who want the minimum wage hike are playing with fire but, it won’t be just them that will get burned, everyone will feel it.

Last of all, if these people who are causing so much ruckus to get the minimum wage raised to their desire then, once again, America, in the long run, is going to feel the effects of that minimum wage hike including those who are the very ones fighting for the hike and it will not be pleasant experience for anyone.  Nothing will have changed except, the prices and taxes because those will have gone up to accommodate the wage hike, no one wins.
