When are people going to realize that the minimum wage has nothing to do with raising the salaries of minimum wage type workers? It is a gift to the unions, because federal contracts are tied to the minimum wage. Minimum wage laws affect very few low-skilled workers and the ones it does affect, it hurts. It eliminates their jobs. It does not give them more money. It’s such a crock and a lie!
Minimum wage will not support a family with children in today’s world. Two parents would have to work full time to barely meet expenses.
Call me old-school but I think those who cannot afford to adequately provide for their offspring have no right to have children. It strikes me as abusive from the start. There ought to be a law.
