Helping the Economy, Regulartory Costs v. Raising Minimum Wage

Raising minimum wage for 3 million workers by $2 bucks ($2 X 2080(hours worked in a year) X 3,000,000(workers) would result in $12.48 Billion more paid to workers and a $12.48 billion loss to corporations.

Even if corporations were presumed to bank every dime of the $12.48 billion, new regulatory costs estimated at $143 Billion represent over 11 times that amount.

So while Danzig & Co. keeps yelling for everyone to watch the squirrel going in and out of the attic, the elephant is charging thru the house.

Talk about fiddling while Rome burns... Who do you think is going to pay for this, I mean besides the taxes that will be used to enforce and monitor? Well the initial answer is fairly obvious. I mean who's going to absorb the cost that the Oil Giants will endure to reformulate their fuels? Every refinery will need to be retooled. Is that included in the the 35 bil? Of course not - welcome to 6.00 a gallon gas. Thanks O!
