But, what would you propose it [minimum wage] be?

This is just off the top of my head, but I'd say something like $10.00. If the average McDonalds' person currently earns $8 (I don't know what they earn), they'd get $10. If there are six employees working at a time, then McDonalds' costs would go up somewhere between $12 and $20 an hour. If those six employees serve 60 customers an hour, the average customer will pay 20-33 cents more. So instead of paying $4.85 (or whatever) for your Big Mac meal, it would be $5.05-5.18. That's still an inexpensive meal, and I don't think that would hurt business or cause anyone to be laid off. And if the minimum wage were raised to $9.00, the impact would be even less. But business would say the sky is falling if that happened.

Wow...I wasn't expecting so much flack.

Visit this site, and this will describe why I have disdain toward that company. We don't want Wal-Mart in our community, yet, they keep trying to bully their way in. This has been going on for 2 years now. I read countless other stories about this exact situation all over America.

A minimun wage of $10/hour allows indviduals to live, based on your opinon, in an acceptable manner?

Have I got this right?
