GOP Solves Unemployment By Ending The Minimum Wage. It Creates Millions Of Jobs At $1 An Hr.

Based on the conservative and GOP logic that raising the minimum wage cost jobs leads to the conclusion that if you cut wages employers will create more jobs. HOW LOW CAN WE GO.

We have to face the fact that the GOP is telling voters that business cannot make a profit it has to pay living wages. Only 20% of the population can make over a living wage in the future based on the GOP economic philosophy. It will not get any better with the GOP in control. Things will only get worse.

Realize their safety net are the churches and charities. How many times do they have to repeat such ideology before voters understand that THERE WILL BE NO safety net. They will abolish every domestic program.

If the minimum wage were cut to $1 per hour, the same number of people would be employed. Businesses only hire people when they need workers for production. I don't think that they will hire people just to give them work.

That would be "trickle down employment."
