[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1329377, member: 46824"] Those of us that want the minimum wage increased aren't talking about increasing it to stupid levels. Raising the minimum wage does not automatically raise prices. Owners wanting to maintain their percentages raises prices. Think back to Hostess. Workers taking pay cuts to keep the business open and management still getting raises. I don't have time to go back and find everything, but you can look at the difference between top paid and bottom paid in almost any company, and the percentage difference is dramatically different from where it was 30 years ago. The percentage of the population in the middle class is shrinking, and a large majority of it is going lower. A lot of companies are starting to give percentage raises. Think about that for a minute. you have a worker making $10 per hour getting a 1.5% raise, and you have a ceo making $2.5 million getting a 1.5% raise. The gap grows larger. [/QUOTE]
