Unfortunately there are posters (
andaronjim ) on this forum who are misinformed and do not understand that minimum wage is different in each state across the country. The federal government sets a floor for a wage which is currently $7.25. This map shows the minimum wage of each state across the country. It is important to understand because each stat might have living conditions that are much higher than other states. The $13 minimum wage in California where even those making $20+ an hour cannot afford to live where they work, could fund raising a family in Kentucky, however the minimum wage here is $7.25, almost HALF of that in California. So please remember this when making your argument.

Back before minimum wage was determined by the Democrats, people were paid their worth. A burger flipper was paid $2,00 an hour because there were many burger flippers and it doesnt take a college degree to be one. Now lets look at a NFL quarterback, not too many of those around, but the really good ones are paid in the 10s of millions. Now for the really bad thing minimum wage does for people, those who are more qualified to be better, if the business owner is a liberal, will pay that person the minimum required and not the worth of the individual. Perfect example is Jeff Bezos, the liberal multibillionaire, the richest person on the planet, pays his employees no where near what he makes. Liberals, do as they say, not as they do....
You wanting to go back to $2.00 burger flippers? Nobody talking about paying burger flippers 10s of millions. Probably not going back to the 60s era though. Many on that side of the aisle are not looking to hold the line on any issue, but would rather try to turn back the clock, 50 years if they could. Used to be a conservative party, not head in the sand turn back the clock 2 generations, kind of party. I miss the conservatives.
Also back in the day, minimum wage was for the part time high schooler or college kid who needed a few bucks, or that elderly person who didnt want to be fully retired but wanted to mingle with other people. yeah, i was a minimum wage puke back in the day, but then after waking up and moving away from liberal victimhood, i got skills, skills fixing fighter jets that too me to Saudi Arabia. Was making $70,000 a year , tax free, free housing, gasoline was 25 cents a gallon, that was in 1991. You worthless fucks stay poor, stay victims, you deserve all the misery the liberals force upon you.

Obama's Policies Redefine Poverty
A new Heritage Foundation study reminds us that America’s “poor” maintain a standard of living much of the world would envy. Typically, “poor” Americans have more living space than the average European. Plus air conditioning, cable TV, and computer games. They are well-fed, and report they are not hungry.
Want to hear something really interesting.... I got to go to Egypt, there is real poverty, where people didnt have a house to live in, or free money given every month. They didnt have TV services for free, or free healthcare if the walk down the local medicaid facility. Our poor live like kings in this country.
Egyptian poor....
