Story on our local news today about more people seeking assistance at various charities interviewed a young woman who said she got a raise due to min. wage increase, but her employer cut her hours to part-time. Morons doing the reporting did not make the connection. Libs surely helped this gal out with their compassion! Due to min. wage increase, she now needs charity to make ends meet.
Of course, the min. wage is really about boosting union wages and not about helping the poor at all. The wages paid on fed contract jobs to union workers are tied to the min. wage. It goes up; they get paid more. As usual, follow the money.
