[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4126662, member: 24302"] Are you assuming they'll stay at $15hr? What if they get a side job for another 20 hours? And the $15hr would be a nationwide minimum. Certainly in much higher cost areas the state could set it higher. Chances are pretty good that harder work will require an employer to offer more or a worker will choose to take an easier job down the street for the same pay. And it's really not up to employers to guarantee a good life. What drives people is the desire to do better. That drives the economy. It's why people choose to work for more at FedEx than down the street for $12hour. Those that prefer it easier for less pay have made a choice too. And deal with it accordingly, living with friends or family, doing without a car, not indulging in expense habits, etc. The difference between a lot of states is some are willing to give all those benefits in addition to minimum wage. Why your taxes are so high and those who can are moving out. Which eventually puts those States in dire straits. There are no easy answers but at the core of this is the only things that truly work in the long run is hard work and self reliance. If everyone stuck to that most things would work themselves out and we could take care of those truly in need like the disabled. Or the elderly. Or the young pregnant woman needing help until she can get a job. [/QUOTE]
