Damnit...
Why do people believe that increasing minimum wage will help anybody? How does that make any sense? Do people not realize that the company that the employee works for, will make the same amount of profit regardless. Either by getting rid of workers while making the others picking up the slack, or raising prices... Likely both. Or go out of business I suppose. If the business doesn't support the owner as they want it to, why the **** would they continue?
Do people making minimum wage go places to buy things from people who make more than minumum wage? No.. Not unless they are teenagers without true life bills. Do you know why? Because they can't ******* afford to... They make minimum wage. But the prices of those goods go UP because the cost of business goes UP. Essentially canceling out the amount of extra pay they are getting.
Increasing the minimum wage does nothing but lower the buying power of the ****'n dollar and help corporations kill the mom and pop stores.
If you want to make more money, learn a skill and do a job that requires companies to actually compete for your services. Unskilled labor, gets unskilled pay.
