First off, I figured the food workers would get their raise before the "living" minimum wage would show up, hence no wage earners receiving an "illegal" wage.
You offering to pay higher prices for goods and services is just plain backwards. You're placing the burden of lifting the working poor on the shoulders of the low and middle class.
What needs to happen is to raise taxes to pre-Reagan levels and eliminate tax subsides to thriving industries. The tax child credit should also be eliminated for a savings of 52 billion dollars. That money could be used to feed the hungry and help give a hand up to those in need. Incentives for off-shoring need to be removed.
Robert I'm sorry for calling you an asshole. It was a long and stressful day followed by a few martinis.
Please accept my apology.
