[QUOTE="overflowed, post: 1328731, member: 44109"] So let's look at this discussion from another viewpoint. When this country and the middle class was booming after world war 2 the whole country as a whole was doing very well. This is one of the things that made us a superpower. I might add that the wealth in this country was divided much more equally. Back then there were many blue collar union jobs that created a healthy middle class right? What's happening now is the opposite which I feel is making this country unhealthy. Balance is needed in nature as with humans. So since there is barely a middle class left and all these people need to make a living at sub par wages, in turn they can't put much away in savings and retirement. So, what no one seems to be talking about or wants to talk about is what will this country look like when all these people who can't retire get to that point and who will take care of them? Does this sound like a good idea to those of you who don't think raising the minimum wage should happen? Also, I'm not specifically for a 15 dollar an hour wage but the minimum wage should have been raised much more long ago. Again, just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
