It needs to be raised. The min wage I made in 1978 is 14.59 an hour today. 1/2 the country is making 12-15 an hour today and those wages need to come up.we are now a nation of have and have nots and it will not survive as such

That's pretty much all myth. There is social mobility and lots of opportunity. Unfortunately we had and will have open borders and an increasing tax and regulatory burden on small businesses. Those are the problems that need to be fixed.

Absolutely. Thomas Sowell reported on a survey in one of his books that people in the bottom income tier have moved out of that income level in a decade. Some had even advanced to the top levels.
