Ironic thing is every year polititions vote themeselves raises, but cannot consider cost minumum or working wage standards.

Its ok for capitilast to make money but how much is enough where there is such a disparady in wages with workers and executives within fortune 500 companies. CEO's salaries have increased 300% over the last 10 years and they clearly cannot empathize with the average worker when their salary range is out of wack with the rest of the workers.
Republican? Please.

I do believe that people should increase their skills to a point where they can demand more than the "minimum wage". Raising the minimum wage is not the answer.

People also need to stop having kids when they can't afford to provide for themselves.
