Maximum Wage? An Hour is an Hour
The push for a Minimum Wage increase is not solely a progressive cause. However, it has been largely pushed by Democrats/progressives under the $15/hour catch phrase. Once a far-fetched idea, today, the **$15 Minimum Wage** is almost a foregone conclusion. **When. Not if**. Latest **here**. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/541114-sanders-to-force-vote-on-15-minimum-wage-urges-democrats-to-ignore Now it also shouldn't take rocket science anymore to figure out that once a progressive goal is achieved. A new goalpost is established minutes later. And *that* new goalpost-- whatever it might be-- *has to* be accomplished right away or we are all the worst kind of Neanderthals to ever roam the planet. So.... it stands to reason that should a higher minimum wage get established.... well... progressives won't be happy the next morning. So what would come next? Why would workers then 'settle' for $15 per hour? Or... **once you go a couple weeks or months happy on $15 per hour... what do you do then?** It's not enough. There is never enough money. A natural step would be to get the minimum wage increased even further. Or, regular government 'stimulus' checks. Or the emergingly popular "**Universal Basic Income**" (UBI). Why do we have to *work* for the $15/hour? Can't we just all be given money... for nothing? Mark Knopfler wrote the song in 1985! **Here**. More brilliant and visionary than an economist? https://youtu.be/JRDgihVDEko?t=134 What could top any any all of that? What about a "**Maximum Wage**"? Or a "**Universal Wage**"? *Everyone* gets $15 per hour. You show up for your job and you get $15 for every hour you are there. **NBA Basketball player? Corporate CEO?** President of the United States? **Waffle House late night staff?** Bar tender? Yeah, this is just crazy talk right now. Well a lot of things that were crazy talk just 5 years ago.
