Gallop Poll: 76% of Americans do not understand supply and demand.

Gallop Poll: Why public schools and democracy suck.

Why stop at 9$? Raise it to 60$/hour and then everyone can have cool cars and big houses!

+rep for awesomesauce. Big house, here I come!

They can raise it to $10, $12, say $15... still in poverty, still collecting welfare subsidies.

Once you get to a middle level wage, the State and Federal Government screw you with their progressive tax system

Let's go for broke! Honestly, broke is where we are headed.

76% of americans can't think beyond 1-step.

Should be required reading in all schools.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Wonder how much of the 22% who oppose do so because they feel $9 an hour isn't high enough.

If you're against this you hate children.

Gallup Poll: Why we are FUCKED.

That's because 76%+of Americans do not understand economics.

 

[JK/SEA]

round it off to 20 bucks, that way we won't have to worry about it for a few months...

 

[Lucille]

Gallup didn't ask this because then they wouldn't get the answer they want but

however, support flips and 56 percent oppose if it caused employers to lay off workers. All policies come with a price and polling questions constantly phrased as benefits-only propositions will continue to overestimate support. Instead, questions should measure what Americans would be willing to give up in order to raise the federal minimum wage.

People are stupid.

Oh and FU, Frank!

 

[Prog Snob]

Sure let's put more stress on small businesses!

 

[Christian Liberty]

I wanted to say 76% of Americans are stupid. Than I figured out it was probably closer to 96%

 

[SilentBull]

Minimum wage laws have to be the best example of economic stupidity. And the cowardly GOP sucks so bad that most people have probably never even heard an argument for getting rid of the minimum wage and why it causes unemployment.

More like heating fuel, wall paper and TP...

Zimbabwe ain't got nothing on us!

That's good for the Financial manipulators. If it was the other way around 76% understood economics they would be in big trouble.

Unfortunately they wont all learn anytime soon, but seeds can be still planted in a few percentage.

Over 90% of Democrats support higher minimum wage. I'd wager that the majority of them also favor increased immigration and amnesty. Supply and demand. That's the shortest economic lesson, yet they still don't get it.
