[quote:Anonymous Coward 79348925:MV80Njg4NzQ4Xzg1MzQwMTgwX0M5OERCMzA4] [quote:Pukeko:MV80Njg4NzQ4Xzg1MzM5OTUzXzI0MTE1RURE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78445863:MV80Njg4NzQ4Xzg1MzMyNTIwXzJDNDJFN0M1] $7.50 is not enough to live on and min wage should be increased. However, when we have an influx of untrained workers from South of the border willing to work under the table for low wages where they don't have to pay taxes but still get perks, then we have a problem. The working poor (citizenry) aways get screwed. That being said, she CHOSE not to get training. She CHOSE to have a baby out of wedlock and to become a single mother. [/quote] Basic economics dictates that a higher minimum wage creates unemployment The answer is get better skills If a raise in minimum wage was an answer we could just raise it to $100 hour and everyone would magically be well off, right? [/quote] In principle forced minimum wages are problematic, but you aren't addressing the real problem which is that America has sent all of its manufacturing jobs overseas so that they can simply export the dollar instead. There simply aren't enough jobs here for these people to ladder climb up to anymore. Everything you own is made in China. Even the sheetrock in your house is made in China. That is the problem.
