Then give me a site. I will deliver many that prove my point. Unfortunately, all I have now is a tablet.
All you do is say I am stupid and wrong. Not only does that show your childlike nature,it also shows that you do not know how to debate.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Sorry, I dont debate 12 year olds. Tho some are mature. You obviously are not. As I said,I will supply the sites and facts and you cannot because you have no facts on your side,

Let me just cite the U.S. Congressional Budget Office from February 18, 2014, "Raising the minimum wage would increase family income for many low-wage workers, moving some of them out of poverty. But some jobs for low-wage workers would probably be eliminated and the income of those workers would fall substantially."

Look at the big picture. Yes, some will lose their jobs but more will get jobs and more people will be lifted away from poverty.
Lose 3 jobs gain 5. Thats +2.
Most minimum wage jobs require skills. Those that will lose their jobs are the lowest skilled.

What the hell does it take to convince you that raising the minimum wage throws people out of work? Obviously the U.S. Congressional Budget Office doesn't qualify.

Ummm no...do you lack critical thinking skills?? They did not say that there will be a net loss of jobs. They said that some will lose their jobs.

Hey, idiot, pose your stupid reasoning to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office and let me know their reaction.

Why dont you go back to the "socialism "thread and continue your feces throwing contest with hobbes. I agee with the CBO. I have read their stuff. You are taking two sentences out of context.

I don't take shit out of context, idiot!

Bob, would you like me to tell you in historical terms how we maintain low levels of unemployment and high minimum wages?

I'd like you tell the entire world how low levels of employment are compatible with high minimum wages, and believe me, I'll be the first to nominate you for a Nobel Prize.

What I actually said is that Australia has a history of low unemployment and high minimum wages. I am not looking for a Nobel Prize, just a change to explain how we managed to do this.
