I for one am disgusted at raising the minimum wage. When will they get it? Raising the minimum wage kills small businesses and raises prices for us all! It is simple economics, if the cost of doing business goes up, prices go up. Once the wage goes up, they transfer all of the cost to me and you and they (minimum wage earners) are back in the same "feel sorry for me" mode. A minimum wage job is not meant to be a job for life, people! It is a job to hold you over while you go to school and/or looking at getting a better job. In a consumers perspective, 60% of minimum wage earners are not even worth what they were getting paid before the raise. I mean that there isn't any thought process to what you're doing, that is the reason for the minimum wage (minimum responsibility). If you are poor you have ample "money wasting" programs out there to pay for any sort of advanced learning you might want, to help pull you out of your minimum responsibility job. When the wage goes up it moves the no responsibility jobs closer to what I make and do. I have worked very hard with my own two hands to make a good living, and they don't have to do very much at all to get everything! Go to school, go find a better paying job, and make something of yourselves; rather than having everything handed to you. You can do it and yes there are better paying jobs out there for lesser experienced people. Go get' em and make your lives better for all of us!
