Minimum wage laws keep people down. They are disincentive from going out and improving yourself to make more money. Government forces employers to pay people more to stay in mind and spirit-killing zombie jobs that they might otherwise be forced to get out of to make more money. Minimum wage laws are making millions of people into mind-numbed zombies who will never really be alive.
Conservatives make the case that minimum wage hurts businesses. We must make people see that this legislation directly hurts those that it purports to help.

She is right about a lot of things as many conservatives are but just being right does not qualify one to be President. In her 5th year of Congress her resume is as thin as Obama’s. And the stories leaked about how bad she manages her congressional office as well as the high turnover in staff does not point to someone with the executive skills to manage the entire federal government. She should run for Governor and get some executive experience but I guess her ego is too big for that.

They do indeed, and what do businesses, especially the small ones do, when the minimum wage is raised? They cut the hours of their minimum wage employees and lay some of them completely off. Because they can not afford to pay them the higher wages

Wow, You must be smoking some really good stuff.

Personally, I'm all for dropping minimum wage laws all together for anyone under 20 years old since they don't bring skills or knowledge to a employer.

They should take a lower wage to learn skills and knowledge so they can be a profit center rather than a liability

The real silent cost of the raise in the minimum wage is that every other wage in the scale above it gets ratcheted upward. Every employee gets more expensive, not just the entry level guy. Think about that if you're a small businessman in a labor intensive business like say a pizza shop.
