Question for you. You say the first thing on the Democrat agenda is to raise the minimum wage, why?
Seriously, why? We have so many much more important things to deal with like Iraq, or national security or even immigration. (Even though i know their plan is one i wont like). Why start with the minimum wage?
Good question, Avatar. As dmp already mentioned, market forces across this country should determine what the minimum wage is. Individual states have the right to raise the minimum wage to meet their own needs, so why is there a need for the federal government to mandate a minimum wage? If California needs to raise the minimum wage to get workers to meet their employment needs, why should Arkansas or South Dakota have to pay the same minimum wage when those states might not have the same employment needs as California?
Looks to me like the Democrats played politics again to garner votes, and it worked like a charm for them.
