"Also are you a supporter of a raise in the minimum wage to prevent such breaking of people on the wheel?"

Yes I am in support of the minimum wage. It is meant for those that have only a high school or no high school diploma with little or no skill to obtain work. It is not meant for a career wage. It is really IMO a deterrent to from ONLY accepting min wage and put in place for those that hate it to get up off their rears and better themselves.

The problem with that is the minimum wage isn't that succesful in getting people off their rears for a better job. Everytime a Democrat raises the minimum wage, it gives comfort for those to stay at the job they are in. Ghephardt wants to raise the federal minimum wage.
