State Controlled Wages – Who Actually Benefits?

New Hampshire Democrats think the government knows what an hour of labor is worth.  They think that because it does things that are good for Democrats and only Democrats.

A State controlled wage reduces competition by pricing out mom and pops and small business owners leaving larger companies unchallenged in the marketplace.  Yes, Democrats are the real party of big business.  You don’t have to believe me, just look at their agenda.  Every policy they enact favors less competition in favor of a few dominant players in the marketplace who are better equipped to cozy up to the increasingly obese bureaucracy.

State controlled wages also create government dependency by pricing people out of the job market. Amid debates on state-controlled wages, some individuals might find it more beneficial to start their own business.

Someone who might contribute to a shared income situation by becoming a new or future taxpayer is instead forced onto the debit side of the balance sheet, where they end up taking taxpayer money instead.   People trapped in government dependency programs are more likely to vote for Democrats, who are the pirate captains who plunder the productive classes in exchange for political power.  Democrat policies consistently increase dependency.  State-controlled wages are just another way to get out the Democrat vote.

Prosperity is the enemy of progressivism.  A prosperity culture is one that values starting at the bottom and building something, be it on-the-job training, starting your own business, or paying your own way.   The prosperity culture encourages competition because, unlike entrenched bureaucracies with no competition, open markets encourage efficiency, reduce waste, and shed failed products and services rapidly to meet changing demand.  This keeps every player who wants to compete focused on directing resources to customer needs; those that fail to do that shed customers and employees and the next generation of thought leaders to businesses and industries that can meet those needs and provide the best value.

Progressivism seeks to control prosperity to its own advantage by interjecting unresponsive government “bureaucrats” between you and everything,.  They force you to look to the government for education, for job training, for business or student loans, and for the state’s permission to proceed, all of which adds cost burdens on society that if removed, would free up millions of dollars and return it to citizens who would then compete to provide these same services at a fraction of the cost and with significant improvement in service.   Bureaucracies are almost entirely unaffected by shifting public demand.   They are leviathan, lethargic, and intractable, institutionalizing inefficiency to justify their budgets, which never need to get leaner because they have no competition.

This is why the Progressive government monopoly can never be reduced.  It is why a 17 trillion-dollar deficit is of no concern to the same people who argued that a deficit 8 trillion less was a burden on future generations.  That additional 8 trillion in Democrat spending is a massive tax on prosperity, and our children and grandchildren.

Democrat efforts to force wage inflation on New Hampshire business owners are also mandating a new tax on goods and services.   Businesses will have to increase the prices of their goods and services to cover the wage and labor tax mandated by House Democrats.

In many cases, where a business cannot compete if they increases costs to customers,  they will shed jobs, cut full-time employees to part-time, decrease benefits,  and offer fewer opportunities for advancement.   Mandated cost increases will divert resources from efforts to offer more products or to expand into new areas, reducing opportunities for new employment.

The very few who will see a slight increase in income, will lose it to inflationary forces created by the same Democrats who thought they knew better than small business owners.

The only real “winners” are big business and government-first Democrats looking to expand the dependency culture.  Everyone else loses.
