You would think these lawmakers would do the prudent thing and wait to see the outcome of other cities that have raised minimum wage...

I would think if they really wanted to help people in poverty, they would actually lower the minimum to employ more people...

Having a job sure beats $0 wage...

What century do you live in? Do you think anyone can live on $7 an hour? NOBODY does. People make $14,000 a year from McDonald’s... then get $30,000 more in benefits from the state. An unwed mother has to make $60,000 before she quits getting benefits.

Lower the minimum?

So you and the GOP want to pay people 3 bucks an hour where they can go into debt just paying for gas to get to work? No need to pay rent, they can just live out of their 25 year old cars right? What's the problem, right poopman?
