The tipping point is where it is today. Any artificial change imposed on the labor market will have unintended consequences for the economy.

>> $17ish is supposed to be around the tipping point I know you won't read this since you have me on ignore, but I sure would like to whose ass you pulled that figure out of. How you can increase the MW from, say, $8 to $16 without employment "tipping", then suddenly, out of the blue, at $17 that starts running off employers, is downright strange. When Obamacare passed, we said, "You realize this is going to cause employers to cut work hours, because that is how economics work." And all of you replied in unison, "You idiots. You don't know anything. Employers don't care how much labor costs, because they NEED labor. They'll just raise the price of a pizza by $0.12. Don't worry about it." Here we are, three years later, and Obamacare has begun to create a nation of part-time workers who will never be able to pay their bills. So, not only do they not have health care, now they can't pay rent, pay the used car dealer who is carrying the note on their car, or even buy their own food. Do you guys EVER learn? Or you just keep repeating the same idiotic failed methods over and over until everyone suffers equally? What is the end game?
