SO here is the proof that I don’t get paid by Microsoft. If I did I would have one of these.

I see a lot of people getting excited about the potential for a HUGE minimum wage increase on a federal level. While other states like NY have already been through some major increases. When people are able to get more money from their job it’s a good thing right? Maybe not, you see, when wages are changed in a free and open amrket it’s usally because the company is growing and can afford to spend more on their staff. When things are done by the government they affect everyone at the same time, with no regard for how a business is doing. This can lead to businesses closing and can cost us more jobs than it should. The other thing to consider is the reason for the increase. Most people believe it’s to increase quality of life for those on the bottom of the economic chain. The real reason in most cases is to get more taxes out of us, by raising minimum wage, certain political parties can claim they don’t want to raise taxes and help the “working man”, but what they are doing is raising the amount of taxes they collect from the hard working people and in turn raising the amount of taxes businesses pay for those hard working people. “So What?” you may ask, well this cost is almost always passed on to the consumer, which means prices go up. So you get more money, but you have to pay more in taxes and more for living expenses because the cost of them rises. This means that the standard of living never really changes for anyone they just keep going up along with everything else. So why does this matter? Because what is happening is tax money is actually increasing, not by raising taxes but by rasing taxable income. For lack of a better way to put it it’s just a “Marketing Scheme” to get people to agree with the increase for the so-called good of the hard working americans. When McDonalds raises the price of the dollar menu don’t be suprised, it’s just to make of for paying that burger flipper more money. Just remember that when you think you are paying too much for that Denny’s breakfast, remember that we asked for this increase in living.

Well I messaged my friend yesterday to wish him a happy birthday and ended up putting the pressure on for a project we are working on together instead. So Happy Birthday man sorry I forgot.
