Conservatives simply want people to suffer and to know their place. That's really what this is all about. They want to keep "undesirables" in poverty making $7.25 so they can look down on them. Ironic thing is raising the minimum wage would benefit everyone and the upward pressure on wages would increase, but conservatives would rather people they despise suffer than increase their own quality of life. It's truly disgusting.
what's disgusting is that you actually seem to believe what you type. Do these stupid thoughts just pop into your head, or you're getting them from some other source/philosophy?

I grew up as a hardcore conservative. I say what conservatives are thinking but will never say.
The reason conservatives don't want to raise the minimum wage is because to them, "deadbeat" burger flippers and retail workers aren't even worth the $7.25 they currently get. It's a superiority/dominance thing.
Do you have a $7.25/hr grocery job? How long have you been there?
I did in college and it's insane that's still what the same store pays well over a decade later despite the fact everything is significantly more expensive now than it was back then.
About 2% of all workers make the federal minimum wage. And half are under 25 years old. This is not a federal issue, but a state and local one. One size does not fit all in a country like the US.
Just walked past the Aldi in my neighborhood. They have a sign that says they are hiring at $12/hour. At that wage two workers could afford half the apartments in my City.

If I were president, I would have asked congress to enact a gradient minimum wage based on the states GDP and COL. States with higher GDP and COL would have a higher base, and states with lower GDP and COL would have a lower base.
Californians brag about their minimum wage, which honestly, factored in with GDP and COL is far less impressive than missouri's.
That was Orange's idea. Then, we all knew that it did not exist if MSM did not report it.
A high federal minimum wage will almost certainly destroy jobs and make people poorer in parts of the country.
How come when we talk about the federal minimum wage going up, they tell us it will only increase the COL.
Yet, when wages stagnate thanks to cheap labor competition overseas, the COL still goes up and many who lost those jobs need to go on welfare and food stamps to now make ends meet?
Introduce the elephant in the room.
Greed, profits and shareholders. That is where the money all went.
