How many people get paid the minimum wage? I think it is a small number of workers and that is why increasing it may really have little impact either way.

More to the point, what about the guy who started at $5.15 and is now making $7.15 due to hard work and being responsible? When the Minimum goes to $7.15 is he going to get a raise to $9.15...I doubt it.

So basically you have stuck a stick in the eye of the guy who worked hard and moved up the ladder. Typical democRATS.

The democRAT party is the home of ever type of criminal and pervert imaginable

"I think it is a small number of workers and that is why increasing it may really have little impact either way."

Exceept for some union wages paid as a multiple of minimum wages. If you are hired at 3x minimum that makes $15.45 an hour. If minimum goes up to $7.10, congrats, you just got a raise to $21.30 an hour.

It is my belief this is about just that.
