The opportunities for advancement INCLUDE getting a good education, which is available to everyone, including college. All it takes is some initiative and self-respect, enough to prevent one from being satisfied with using the government to extort money from others to pay for one's own responsibilities.
That is not true. Not everyone is smart enough or has the money to go to college.
the government is broke.
they winked while 21 million illegal mexican people came here to work, many of them recruited by american companies.
i really dont think they are interested in how low wages go or in paying for it.
they didnt want american workers b4. nothing has changed.
strange how americans loath unions.
Federal minimum wage shouldn't be raised. The states handle the minimum wage independent of the feds. This is the way it was meant to be. Every state has a unique cost of living... to put a mandated minimum wage across the board would kill jobs in states with a low cost of living.
We do not need more job losses. What the crap are you liberals smoking to think this is a good idea?
Our minimum wage here in Oregon is above that. It's something like $7.90 per hour. I don't know any business that has closed because of a raise in minimum wage. It was 7.25 or so before they raised it here in Oregon.
Yes I'd say it's way past time to raise the minimun wage. Big Businesses don't like it because it'll cost them money but people need to make more money to live.
That is not true. Not everyone is smart enough or has the money to go to college.
Whats stopping someone for getting the same loan as others get to go to college? You also dont have to attend college for those that arent intelligent enough take a trade course.
We need to lower the minimum wage because people who work for minimum wage have no skills or any value to the employer who pays it out.
Lower it down where it is should be and you will see more jobs prop up in small businesses who need unskilled labor type people.
