Raising the minimum wage is a hot issue now. Many issues have become hot simply because an election is coming up.
I used to work for minimum wage. I was a kid at the time and I worked an entry level, non skilled job. I had no family and the job contributed very little to the business' net profit. Folks, that's what a minimum wage job is! If we raise the minimum wage, there will be fewer minimum wage jobs. This means more unemployment among kids and the semi-retired. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see everyone make $50,000+ per year. I don't want to see the $25.00 Big Mac.
