My first job was at McDonald's. My second was as a fry cook at Taco Bell. I made $3.35 and then $3.45 an hour. I was never in favor of the government forcing my employer to pay me more money. At that age, 16, I was reading a lot of success stories - "rags to riches" stories. Stories where everyday people earned their way to success rather than having it given to them. It always seemed to me that the best way for me to better my life was my own efforts.
There are good reasons to vote for Kerry but I don't think minimim wages is one of them.
