Written by a VERY KIND KANSAS CITY INSIDER with a KICK-ASS SUMMARY OF INFORMATION AND FACTS CONTRADICTING THE KANSAS CITY $15 "FAIR" WAGE FIGHT . . .
Checkit:
(Kudos) Who should get fired first?
The mayor is at it again, with his lapdog the KC Star in full support of economic suicide.
What amazes me how far ahead you in this city's news game.
Instead of pretending to support a minimum wage increase, the mayor should ask, "Who should we fire first?" as Tony's KC pointed out TWO YEARS AGO.
TONY'S KC PROVIDES REAL news with REAL numbers, (as well as good looking women and a great deal of entertainment).
Tony reported in MARCH 2, 2015 the following:
"...a very quick note from the CBO… basically they say that if you raise the minimum wage to $10.10, you’ll lose 500,000 jobs… Link to their report can be found here @ The Congressional Budget Office ."
So with unemployment going up, why would our Mayor say he favors higher minimum wages.
Tony provides the answer again to anyone looking for a motive behind the mayor's most recent comments about increasing things to 15 bucks... Tony reported this back in 2015 as well.
October 24th, 2015 Tony's KC pointed out correctly wrote:
"...The foolish protesters left him [Sly] alone, as he appeared to work to increase their wages. And Sly took ZERO political risk in supporting an increase to the minimum wage that would never happen.
If the mayor really wanted to effect change, he could, without violating the State’s constitution, ask department heads to review all employees and, IF DESERVING, raise their wages. It is entirely within Sly’s authority to push wages higher ANYTIME.
He chose not to do so. "
And, while the mainstream fawns all over the Mayor anytime he opens either side of his mouth, Tony's KC correctly highlights what really happens when politicians mess with the market. July 1, 2015.
ONLY Tony's KC points out the real victims of any hike in the minimum wage.
In his article titled, THE MARKET ALWAYS RESPONDS, he wrote:
"McDonald's, the vast majority of restaurants owned by individual entrepreneurs, is testing Reich's economic theory of what happens when you force individuals to follow a grand scheme based in theory when the world they must operate in is based in reality.
The math is straight forward enough. Replace one employee and save $32,000 annually.
Here are the numbers:
$15 per hour, times 40 hours a week, and 50 working weeks a year is 30,000 annually, before any healthcare benefits. Of course, we must not forget that for each $15 dollars paid, the employee will need to 1.45% in medicare and 6.20% in Social Security. That's another $1.15 in additional wages or about $2,300 annually for a grand total of 32,300 in savings, again, before any health care expense.
You also don't have to worry about sick employees, maternity leave, and a whole host of federal regulations that's stated goal is to help employees, but in fact harm them and only produce more state dependents."
And again in March of 2016 Tony reported:
"I went to a movie last night at AMC at the Ward Parkway Shopping Center.
What caught my attention was that they have removed entirely the ticket booth that previously housed 4 to 5 employees operating the 4 ticket dispensers and 4 cash registers. The ticketing is now done by 7 automated kiosks and one employee offering help to the very few that needed it. It was exceptionally fast and efficient way to get exactly the service I needed."
Tony’s Kansas City is the only place that has warned about the logical consequences of stupid economics and how it can only lead to unemployment of the under-skilled masses that can least afford to lose their job.
Real new reports the fact, not feelings. If the election of the Donald hasn't delivered a the message, perhaps the continual decline in Newspaper subscribers will send a clear message that we are tired of the fake new generated by the Star, parroted by the politicians, and dumped on us like we're too stupid to know better.
Mayor, give it a rest, Tony's had your number for YEARS.
