I had a second job in a fabric store working for minimum wage the last time it was raised, in 1997 I think? What happened was, rather than get rid of anybody, they cut back from having 4 employees per Saturday shift (the busiest one, which I worked) to 3. So while I did get a dollar or so more in my check, my workload increased by a third. Not worth it.
Hours were cut during the week too, so the women who had been getting by on 20 hours a week then had to get a second minimum wage job to make up their lost hours. They ended up working more hours at two, or even three, jobs.
So? As long as you pay taxes to support the democrat base, why would politicians care about you?
Quit your whining and get back to work, you slacker. Democrats want more free stuff.
