As a conservative Id think you would be for people making enough to survive on their own versus us getting taxed more to help these welfarees survive. Either we pay them or the corporations pay them and I'd rather corporations paid them cause it's their fucking business, not mine.
When adjusted for inflation the minimum wage is some of the lowest it's been. In the 70s when adjusted for today's dollars it would be over $10 an hr.
When you live pay check to pay check and have a family it's awfully hard to get a leg up or whatever when all your time and money is taken up already

Frankly I don't believe in a minimum wage to begin with. I believe in true free market. Supply and demand alone should dictate what a job will pay. Not the government.
Lack of workers willing to do a certain job for a certain amount of pay is what will drive wages up and in a non-artificial way.
