A $2.33/hr tipped minimum wage is pretty ridiculous.
"In addition to raising Wisconsin’s minimum hourly wage, the report also argues in favor of eliminating Wisconsin’s separate minimum wage for tipped workers. In Wisconsin, businesses have to pay tipped workers at least $2.33 an hour. However, if an employee doesn’t make at least $7.25 an hour from wages and tips combined, the employer is required to make up the difference."

If you really hate #capitalism and want #socialism, chances are you LOVE the idea of a #minimumwage.
If you really, really think a minimum wage is a path to ending poverty, just ask yourself this very simple question; why not call up a nation in abject poverty and tell them to mandate a $15/hour minimum wage? I mean, if that ends poverty...why aren't we doing that?
Because even a passing grasp of #economics tells us that, no; minimum wages do not help with #poverty.

Minimum wage workers in Australia have been given a 6% pay rise, taking them to $A1000 ($NZ1207) a week. The new minimum hourly rate is $A 26.44 -- equivalent to $NZ 32.04 per hour.
I was surprised to learn that from a population of 28m, only 100,000 people were on minimum wage.

The minimum wage was designed to be a universal living wage.
But over time, the system shifted — not by accident, but by policy choices. #wages #livingwage #minimumwage -
Yes — the minimum wage was designed to be a universal living wage.
Its purpose was to guarantee that every worker could meet basic needs without relying on public assistance.#minimumwage #publicassistance
