Many nations with much higher minimum wage than the U.S. have actually lower unemployment rate.

Is that anecdotal comment supposed to prove something?

If you increase it to $9/hour will you also increase everyone else by $2/hour ?
Some started off at min wage and earned their way to higher salaries.

Others are so transitory that they never stay anywhere long enough to get a raise.

Why stop at nine, cheapskate?

Every signature on this petition should be regarded as a legal committment by the signee, to provide the funds to pay the extra money they are demanding should be handed over to the min-wage workers.

Sound like a plan? Why or why not?
