I have a better idea remove the min wage.
the government is controlling the min wage, when the market should control the wages.
Problem really is we have to many unskilled workers willing to work for peanuts and not enough killed workers to drive up prices of wages. Doesnt help we open borders, and bring in people with even less wages who will work for even lower then min wage.
Who is blame - see government.
So businesses have many options lobby congress for more mexicans - cheapest now Build robots to replace the idiots at mcdonalds and the replace a few skilled workers in key places.
So with robots no benefits no demands, no rights work work work.
Mexicans are cheap, no insurance low wages. 20 more mexicans are waiting on the border to sneak in as the government looks the other way. Even as it promises citizen ship and more work visas.
Again who is the problem, government or business?
Govenment first, no open borders, no illegals, and no free healthcare to the illegals coming here.
Government for accepting lobbying and breaking the laws of immigration.
Government needs to follow the constitution and free market principles if they want Americas to actually provide for themselves.
But this government wants you dumb, uneducated and low skilled because you will need the government to be bigger, stronger and ever controlling peoples lives.
That's not even a change. That's just a monthly minimum wage.
Wait, let me guess: and shout "FREEDOM!" while we do it.
I hope the irony isn't lost on you.
no... Its clear to me that we have moved beyond the notion.
we now live in an America where freedom is a fiction. we are being assaulted by prog-activists who will work diligently to insure a person looses their job if they don't toe the line.
I am not for freedom. I am for engaging in the war they stated and upping the anti.
Its time to toss the sorry no good rotten apples out of the American barrel....
I no more want freedom for the Prog-Activists than they want freedom for me.

Perhaps you weren't around when the government slapped a 10% luxury tax on yacht sales. Guess what happened? People quit buying yachts ... and a lot of builders went out of business ... meaning jobs were lost.
I guess this is what we get, living in a debt based economics system. Higher prices and with wages that can't keep up, while giving 25% of our earnings to the FED. I bet they don't have a problem buying a yacht.
Since many people argue about minimum wages; how about guarantee part-time workers' $1000/month (those who work 15 - 20 hrs/week) and full-time workers' $2000/month (35 - 40 hrs/week), and abolish minimum wage?
Have at it; nothing stopping you from paying what you want. Robots and computers look better all the time to employers at lowest level of work. Less people working at higher salary and skill level is result.
