Trouble with minimum wage is people simply aren't meant to live on it. Raising the minimum wage does nothing in the long run as it does nothing to permanently shift real wages. People working those jobs will end up in just as poor a position as they were beforehand once prices adjust, with nothing to show for it but inflation. It's a good intentioned solution to a major problem, and one that certainly should get more attention, but that's the best I can say about it.

Anyway, regardless of what the guy thinks, why would you want everyone to vote against him? Just because he holds a certain view (or held, I suppose)?


ok i was thinking this but it still leaves the door open for companiese to pay less than whats already offerd. i know that's highly unlikely but the ones that pay minimum wage now, could pay less because there's no minimum. it's like how some people have to work 2 and 3 jobs just to make ends meet when 1 should provide all you need, but that's just wishful thinking.
