    Raising the wages of minimum wage earners or the working poor is bad bad bad for the economy, but when corporate CEOs or Wall St. Weasels suddenly make six or seven figures MORE than they did last year, then that's just capitalism working efficiently as it's supposed to.

    Raising the minimum wage just raises the cost of the goods we buy as well as layoffs. Minimum wage jobs were never structured to make a living they are jobs for students and those in-between jobs.
