Comment Re:get rid of the H-1B job lock and set a higher m (Score 2) 294

It is not immediate, it is economic growth. Every time the minimum goes up the economy gets a boost which leads to more jobs. That growth stagnates and declines when inflation overtakes the gains. Inflation has shown NO change to its rate of growth in relation to minimum wage hikes. Ever. it grows whether or not wages keep up- but the economy suffers if wages do not keep up.

Easier- require the job be independently categorized (prevents high end programmers listed as "janitorial staff") and the pay rate has to be set at 150% of the current median pay for the area for a US worker in that position. And THEN they must list that job exactly as categorized for US workers to have the opportunity to apply for- reviewed by the H1b oversight to ensure if there are qualified applicants that they are made an offer at the 150% rate. THEN- if there are really no qualified US applicants- the oversight will review the qualifications of who they bring in and ensure they actually meet those requirements. if they are willing to accept a lesser applicant- they must review US applicants and see if any meet those lowered standards.

A man who's last name was tata picked that.

I took a chance on a great opportunity. I walked up on a very busty Army specialist waiting for her friends to get back to the truck. She was standing between two brand new tata pickups. So I said "hey, Nice Tatas!"
It could have gone either way- she found it hilarious.

You jest, but I have seen many ads that were either impossible to fulfill- like 5 years experience in a language released last week-
Or listed with such low pay as to be insulting- 15 years experience in every known programming languages as well as machine language for every processor ever: $7.35/hr no benefits

I suspect these are listed by companies seeking to import some H1b workers in a very tech-employee heavy market. You can't tell me a company based in the Valley could not find qualified techs.

The unusual word choice and poor grammatical layout identifies you as a non-native English speaker. Particular clues such as "revert" instead of "reply" is a very Hindi error.
So, an H1b worker defending H1b visa abuse is disregarded as overly biased if not outright shill doing what they are paid to do.

Easy. The cost of maintaining a country is based on the GDP. If the calculated budget is $100, and you hold 12% of the GDP, your fair share is $12. If someone else holds .01% of the GDP, they owe $.01.

Fair share is not every citizen pays the same. This is no a socialist economy where everyone contributes the same to get the same benefits. Some people hold far more than others, so their fair share is much higher. They also reap far more of the benefits of those taxes. A man that owns 10,000 trucks in a trucking company gets a hell of a lot more benefit than the guy that rides the bus across town to his job at McDonald's.
