                    I think it's ridiculous that some people actually hold onto the delusion that an increased minimum wage will hurt employment.

                    How can companies function without employees? Of course, there is overseas outsourcing, but still . . . . .

                        The minimum wage affects mainly jobs like retail. Have there really been a drop in minimum wage jobs during any of the increases? After all, if the economy is so good, most jobs already pay more than this anyways, and this generally does not apply to farm jobs.

                          Conversely, if most jobs already pay more than the new one anyway, why is it needed? And wouldn't those jobs that do pay less than it be the ones affected by increased unemployment? The damage done by a minimum wage increase would be proportional to how much good it is supposed to do.

                                On the one hand, I'm suprised that you have a minimal wage.

                                On the other hand, I'm not surprised that it is a measly $5.25 an hour.
