People who make less than they need to make should refuse to work for such low wages...seek a higher paying job.As usual you cons miss out on basic facts. The average age of fast food workers is 29. Low wage jobs greatly outnumber higher wage jobs. 18 million people make less than $10.10 per hour. How many more do you think make less than $15, which is the wage one must be able to live off of based on current inflation?When the government interferes with the free market and sets a minimum wage, that is free shit to the unskilled worker.Um neither one of those are "free shit". They both require having a job.Raisinf the min wage or giving the poor the income tax credit is how you do it. Repubs block both attempts while supporting corporate welfare.And democrats have helped the poor for 40 years and guess what? They are generational poor. They are passing the poor onto their kids. Great job.
More free shit! That's all we need!
What you idiotic liberals do not accept is that it is not necessary that every job pays enough to support a family. Unskilled teenagers, living at home with their parents and siblings, do not need to earn enough to pay for the rent, the food, the utilities, the family car, health insurance, etc.
Setting a minimum wage does little more than raise the prices of goods and services provided.
