I am amused by the term "working poor." Why are they poor? Do you know? Who is FORCING these people to work for less than they think they are worth?
If they are getting food stamps or other welfare it has NOTHING to do with private enterprise.
Minimum wage rate and labors’ market prices.

the need for food, shelter etc.... forces them to work.
private enterprise is externalizing their labor costs onto all taxpayers.
that's fascism.

They aren't OPINBIONS you dumb, uneducated hack; they are FACTS. If you had a brain larger than a pea, you could comprehend the OBVIOUS.
WRONG; it's all about buying the votes of ignorant Americans who still believe that they are entitled to other people's wealth and stupidly believe that politicians have their best interests at heart.
If you had an IQ above room temperature, you would comprehend the obvious.
YOUR INSULTS WILL NEVER RESULT IN INFLUENCE OR CONSENSUS WITH ANYONE.
NEITHER WILL DONALD TRUMP'S.
IF YOU WANT TO WIN CONSENSUS OR BE INFLUENTIAL WITH YOUR IDEAS- YOU MUST PRESENT THEM IN A CIVIL MANNER OR THEY JUST FALL SHORT ON DEAF EARS.
PEOPLE WILL AVOID YOU LIKE THE COVID VIRUS WHEN YOU HAVE A NASTY AND HATEFUL MOUTH.
THIS IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO LIFE YOU NEED ON YOUR KEYCHAIN!
That wasn't the question. Why are they poor? Do you know? Who is FORCING these people to work for less than they think they are worth?
Posting the same dumb unsupported lie over and over again doesn't make it look less stupid.

what lie?
Calling you a dishonest, uneducated hack isn't an insult. It's an accurate factual description of your posts.
Dude; I could care less if whack jobs like you ignore me. It saves me from having to respond to your inane stupidity and lies. Carry on snowflake. November is going to be harsh on you.
Now you act dumb? "private enterprise is externalizing their labor costs onto all taxpayers."

its immoral to not pay people enough to live on.
see my signature for tips on morality. underpaying people fails the mutual benefit test.

DUDE! I TOTALLY IGNORE YOUR HIDEOUS POSTS UNLESS YOU QUOTE ME.
SO, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH AND STOP RESPONDING TO MY POSTS!
That seems fair enough!
Market wages would be lower since many jobs that pay at least $7.25/hour are worth much less based on the skills needed.
Shows you don't think. Many jobs the government tells an employer has to be paid at $7.25/hour aren't worth that on the open market?

Nothing fascist or scrooge-like for the one doing the paying to determine what someone doing a certain job should be paid.
You support the government mandating a minimum. That's fascist.

Fascism involves the government forcing their will on the people. In this case, business owners.

Not always true. For example, when Arizona increased the minimum wage with no exceptions a number of companies that employed the severely handicapped had to go out of business. These companies employed severely handicapped people to do things like stuff envelopes and other simple tasks. They paid less than minimum wage previously as allowed by law. This allowed them to retain full disability benefits.
The workers complained that they were losing their jobs and that they really loved having one that gave them a sense of self-worth. They knew they were unable to do more and were doing something not worth minimum wage but in their view they got to go to work, do something productive, contribute, socialize with others and felt their job improved their life. The Leftists pushing mandatory higher minimum wages didn't consider that.
Go to McDonald's today and the counter help is down to one or two people. The workers were replaced with:
