Liberals really think raising the minimum wage will help someone
it just makes them feel better
According to the Labor Dept. 64% of those on minimum wage have a family income of over $64,000.00. Only 2 % of those on minimum wage are couples living on minimum wage alone. Why should Congress care for anything other than political reasons, they don't have to pay for the subsequent rise in everything else we buy when they raise the minimum wage. Inflation will rise and our homes will be worth less and less. If libs think this actually helps someone why don't they tip the guy at Mcdonalds a few bucks every time they eat their trans fat removed burgers. It's simple economics really. When the price of something goes up the demand for it goes down...so if the minimum wage is raised it will mean fewer jobs for those people who might otherwise need a job. Besides many states (I believe 27) have higher minimum wage than the federal government anyway. So Teddy *hiccup* Kennedy panders to no one...it just makes the liberals FEEL better.
