@TrpstrLeonOG @JohnPaulKloiber I had 2 roommates in 1979. I made $3. An hour and rent was $300 for a good place. Whine some more.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@_KendraDawn_ You are going to hate my answer. $10 is a good starting wage. Do a good job & work your way up. If you can’t get ahead in that company try another one. Plenty of educational opportunities. This bill says it will raise taxes. Raising minimum every year is crazy.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@_KendraDawn_ How many people in Oklahoma make minimum wage? 1,000. Even fast food pays more than minimum wage. The bill has a tax increase in it. Need a better bill.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@_KendraDawn_ @S0berSoul Actually 21 states still have minimum wage set a $7.25.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@heyitkb It also says state employees are not included. Then says school districts are included. Schools are state employees.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@Abbreviated @KendalforOK Yes we do. We no longer have to pay it for household or our cattle but do for equipment.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@maggistratus I am for increasing sales tax.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@heyitkb @raisethewageok I was agreeing with you. They are leaving out the important parts of the bill.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@heyitkb @raisethewageok This is obviously a minimum wage earner that cannot read.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@MickeyDollens What about the tax increase in the bill? It’s a bad bill. If this is passed does that mean that our state government can increase taxes without a vote of the people?

[ksutton @locosutton]

@raisethewageok Read the last paragraph. School employees work for the state ok Oklahoma. So technically they may not get a raise.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@CoxRicki77036 @WinningintheUSA I have also read very few people in Oklahoma make minimum wage. Even McDonalds pays over $10.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@CoxRicki77036 @WinningintheUSA It will cost businesses $100,000 for every 10 employees. And that is if they are getting paid $10 an hour now. It also has a provision in it to raise taxes. After 2030 it will increase minimum every year.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@raisethewageok This is just a bad bill. It allows the state to raise taxes. It also raises minimum wage every year after 2030. Just get a better job? It will raise prices. Employers are not going to absorb costs. Every 10 employees will be an increase of $100,000 in operating costs.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@tcblume I still wonder why the state did not have any oversight with this project. They just approved everything blindly.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@PalominoOMG @WallStreetApes We just know how not to waste money. If you’re broke stop eating out. A cheap loaf of bread, bologna and a bag of potatoes will feed you for a week. Been there, done that. I still don’t eat out much 45 years later.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@madjoes8028 @DeeDobson139512 How is that fear mongering? It is in the bill. They will raise taxes to pay for school support staff.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@DeeDobson139512 That means the state of Oklahoma will be able to raise taxes without a vote of the people. People cannot read.

[ksutton @locosutton]

@raisethewageok Did you read the last part of the bill?? A tax increase will be necessary to give school support staff a raise. This means that we will allow Oklahoma to raise taxes without a vote of the people. Businesses will cut staff to part time to save on benefits.
