[QUOTE="succubus:556953"] _______________________ [Jan 10,2007 11:23am - awol] HailAtWork said:<<Minimum wage needs to be increased to at least $10/hour...minimum wage should = living wage. >> I'm not looking to debate the likelihood of surviving on minimum wage, its not realistic to expect someone to live on $5 an hour. But if minimum wage is raised, the money to pay the employee has to come from somewhere, and 9 times out of 10 that's gonna be passed on to the consumer, including the employee that just got a higher minimum raise. If everything costs more as a result of raising minimum wage, how does that benefit anyone? Those new earnings for the minimum wage earner are going to supplement the higher costs of everyday living, and if you earn more than minimum wage you aren't likely to get a raise to offset the newer higher cost of living. Systems like welfare, food stamps, etc. are set up to supplement income of people who earn less than they need to survive (i.e. minimum wage), we'd be better off beefing those systems up instead. ~~ sure, give more to people who don't work and don't raise the minimum wage for those who actually go to work ~~~ you make 0 sense[/QUOTE]
