What they are too stupid to know is if everyone making minimum wage gets a raise, other people who have jobs higher in the food chain will have to get paid more also. The prices of everything in the country will go up, not just fast food, their 15 bucks an hour won't buy them a penny more than they get with their 7.50 now after about one year.
Simply, if you are not making enough money on the job you currently have you have a few choices.
1. Find a second job.
2. Go back to school and learn something (anything)
that might qualify you for more money.
3. Be happy you have the job you are not
qualified to hold.
