Because implementing a living wage will maximize the most amount of net benefits, I affirm the resolution that, “Resolved: Just governments ought to require that employers pay a living wage”Since the resolution uses the term ought, which means moral obligation, I value morality. The only way to achieve morality is through utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the moral theory that is based on maximizing the greatest good for the greatest number. Thus my value criterion is maximizing the most amounts of the net benefits. Use Utilitarianism when creating policies because: a. Government policies entail tradeoffs b. public action is required from the inability of individual action to achieve certain morally desirable ends. A. A living minimum wage brings people out of poverty. According to Dube, an economist, an immediate increase in the federal minimum wage is projected to reduce the number of those living in poverty by around 6.8 million. B. A living wage will boost consumerism. raising the minimum wage puts more money in the pockets of working families when they need it most, thereby augmenting their spending power.¶ Increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 by July 1, 2015, would give an additional $51.5 billion over the phase-in period to affected workers, who would, in turn, spend those extra earnings. This projected rise in consumer spending is critical to any recovery, especially when weak consumer demand is one of the most significant factors holding back new hiring. Cooper and Hall '13 Raising the minimum wage means minimum wage workers have more money to expend which means more money ripples throughout the economy as minimum wage employees are able to spend more. -Halvorsen '14 C. Consumerism is good. Consumerism is fast emerging as an environmental force affecting major business decisions as consumers become more aware about their rights. A broad recognition and growing acceptance of consumerism makes the firms more consumer‐oriented rather than product‐oriented. It is noted that consumerism tends to serve as an opportunity for those corporate managers who are able to identify and anticipate the consumer’s problems. FOR THESE REASONS: Article 1 Section 1. Raise the minimum wage to $10/hr Edited by Wildeboden, Mar 28 2015, 10:05 PM.

Debate is now closed. Voting Will commence for the next 24 hours. Nay on the grounds that laws have recently been passed granting the states the authority to set their own minimum wage, and to the reasoning that setting a blanket minimum wage does not address issues in all areas of the region. |
