I do think we need to raise the minimum wage. $5.15 is ridiculous.
At least bump it to 6 bucks. Much more than that may hurt businesses, but we need to bump up minimum wage a bit since it has been stagnant for awhile.

I can't hire a 15 year old babysitter for $6 an hour- try $9-$10.
I bet you can't go out on the street and find 3 people who work for minimum wage.

What's one good reason for raising the minimum wage other than it will make you feel good?

I've always thought the minimum wage should be $0. Of course, some may argue that would limit someone's ability to pay to work for someone else in order to gain experience. So, I could be convinced to just get rid of the minimum wage requirement altogether.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic. Because if there's one thing I hate, it's reading a knee-jerk liberal post on FR from a fellow FReeper.
Minimum-wage is pure socialism.
