Again.. you seem to not understand basic economics. Forcing companies to raise low skilled wages will DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the low skilled wage earner. Everyone else's wage will go up proportionally and in turn prices of goods and services will as well.
If the burger flipper is making $30/hr, then his manager's salary would go up as well.. And so will everyone else's. You guys don't seem to understand that money is simply a measure based on productivity and has no real value.
There's a reason these jobs pay what they do. They're easy to replace. Again simple supply and demand. There are millions who can be a greeter at Wal Mart. There are far less who can manage the greeters and therefore they earn more, and so on.
Again.. think you're worth more than you're making.. Prove it! Prove your value to the company. Prove that YOU can't easily be replaced.
It really is a simple as that.
