Minimum Wage, Maximum Stupidity – Ep 78


* The Keynesian myth of mandating prosperity actually hurts the lower middle class and the working poor
* Something for nothing is appealing to voters, so politicians make empty promises that are good politics but bad economics
* A Seattle-based company called Gravity Payments has instituted a minimum salary of $70,000/yr
* This has given him great publicity, but how will this work in his company?
* Lower paying jobs will have to be eliminated, because they don't represent enough productivity to justify a raise that doubles the employee's cost
* Higher salaried workers are not hurt because they keep their job and perhaps get a raise for picking up the extra duties formerly handled by lower-salaried workers
* The most recent political gimmick in the State of Connecticut is a tax masquerading as a minimum wage law
* The Democratic State Legislature have proposed a law that will fine companies of 500 or more employees $1/hr for any worker who is paid under $15/hr
* How will this work in the State of Connecticut?
* Right away, business just over 500 employees will pare down to fall under the new regulation, so jobs will be lost
* In reality, this is just a tax increase on the people who can least afford it
* For employees who are currently working at the minimum wage, a $1 fine is cheaper than a raise from the current $9.15 rate to $15/hr, if they do not eliminate that person's job
* This is essentially another employment tax that will result in higher prices across the board
* Neither the employee nor the employer benefits
* For employees who are working above the current minimum of $9.15/hr a raise would cost the employer more than the $1 fine
* According to minimum wage law, it is illegal to cut the worker's pay - the only option is to cut the worker
* The penalty does not apply to higher paid workers; it only applies to jobs between the current minimum wage and the new minimum wage
* It will be cheaper to pay the tax than to raise wages, but there will be less money to to toward employees because a large percentage of the workers' wages are going toward a tax
* The reality of this new law, championed for the "little guy" is that the working poor will pay a higher marginal state income tax than the richest hedge fund managers in the state
* Will the voters be able to figure it out elected officials are going after the working poor?
* This tax will also raise the cost of living, wich also affects the poor more directly
* Packaging a tax to pass off as minimm wage is fraud

Is the Money in Your Pocket Counterfeit? - Ep 962

Is the Money in Your Pocket Counterfeit? - Ep 962

During an unexpected podcast episode from The Bahamas, Peter Schiff discusses the significant breakout in silver prices, reaching the highest since 2013, and the new record highs in gold. He elaborates on central banks' preference for gold over silver and the retail selling trend, emphasizing an opportunity to buy both metals after a correction. Schiff points out the ineffectiveness of the Fed's statements and actions on the true value of gold and silver, suggesting that prices will rise regardless of rate cuts. He uses historical experiences and the transition from real silver coins to nickel-clad copper as an example of government devaluation of currency. Schiff highlights the potential in buying physical silver, especially 'junk silver', for its barter value and the current low premiums as an investment opportunity. He also touches on the importance of investing in gold and silver mining stocks, recommending professional guidance for navigating the sector.NetSuite is offering a one-of-a-kind flexible financing program. https://netsuite.com/goldGet an additional 15% off an annual membership at https://masterclass.com/gold🟨 Sign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.com📈 Invest like Peter: https://schiffradio.com/invest🔔 Free Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.com🟡 Schiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news📘 Book Store: https://schiffradio.com/books👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Twitter: https://twitter.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Instagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficial👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Facebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/GOLD* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SCHIFF20 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
