Why don’t they just make it $500 an hour and we’ll all be rich?
Seriously, I don’t know anyone who makes minimum wage.
Tractorman junior got his first job as a bagger at a grocery store last year and he was hired at $1.50 above the minimum wage.
This is a sweeping statement and boy oh boy is it NOT PC but...well...here goes--ANYBODY WHO MAKES MINIMUM WAGE AS AN ADULT IS A LOSER!!! THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE MINIMUM WAGE UNLESS YOU HAVE A BIG FAT 'L' ON YOUR FOREHEAD!!!!
Seriously, I wanted Newt Gingrich to do this when he was Speaker. Offer an amendment to raise the minimum wage to $30 an hour. That's $62,400 a year. Plenty for a family of four to live on. Watch Democrats squirm.
...by the way, sounds like tractorman jr. will do well! For a kid to get a job at all is music to my ears! (especially at $1.50 over)
