Agree with the move, but not with the principle.
I don't think the minimum wage should be the vehicle to boost people out of poverty. Raise the earned income tax credit instead. i.e., more help for single moms, less help for high school kids living with their parents.
Totally disagree with the, "Don't ask what do I get, ask what can I do." mentality. It's a nice lesson to teach your kids, but on a macroeconomic scale, it's a sucker's move. It's a relic from a time in which Germany and Japan were in shambles, and the developing world had no infrastructure.
We need to get with the times. Working people making low wages need help.
