[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2930605, member: 8481"] OK, now we're getting somewhere. Minimum wage workers feel that if they're paid more, they will no longer be poor and will be able to afford more things. This does not work. There are many minimum wage jobs that are just that, minimum wage. Part time, retired people, college students home on break, etc. They are not designed to raise a family of 5. And paying them more will not help them. It will only hurt them, and the middle class. It has nothing to do with me wanting cheap crap. The experts, who know more than you and I, mostly agree that raising the minimum wage does not help the poor. Here is only one article of thousands.
