NH Sponsor Of Minimum Wage Restriction Law: Young People Are ‘Not Worth The Minimum’

NH Sponsor Of Minimum Wage Restriction Law: Young People Are ‘Not Worth The Minimum’: pThis year, newly-elected Republicans in the New Hampshire legislature pushed a bill to restrict the state’s minimum wage law to the lowest federally mandated amount.

Just amazing how insensitive and unintelligent (both go hand-in-hand) some people are. What a piss-poor economic philosophy: lower taxes for the rich, lower wages for the poor. How did this moron get elected into office? The minimum wage affects so many people (not just 'young people'). The reason our economy is in the state it is now is because our industry is competing with 3rd world nations. Companies can pay the workers virtually nothing there, and sell the products for much cheaper here. We need to stop trading with countries that don't have a minimum wage similar to ours. The system at the moment only works for the rich, it harms everyone else. It is because the rich have so much influence over policy that the poor are suffering. When it all boils down to it, the United States economy is dying because of its lack of industry. The United States cannot compete with 3rd world nations that have no minimum wage. We will continue on our down-spiral until this problem is remedied. A nation that doesn't produce things has a tough time making money. I know I'm rambling now, but we need our factories back. The best thing people can do is stop purchasing things that are MADE IN CHINA. Whenever you purchase something MADE IN CHINA, you are merely reinforcing the very thing that is harming our economy.
