What is your opinion on raising the minimum wage 30%?
Any thoughts on the impact on your economy as a result of said increase?
I'm sure any minimu wage workers out there would love the idea..... but employers on the other hand.....

Like I said earlier if you increase the minimum wage all the other jobs that pay by the hour also have to increase.
Why would somebody haul bricks as a construction laborer when they can flip hamburgers at the same rate.
What happens as a result is that its going to cost more to build your house, car, cook your hamburger, etc.
Which means it will cost more to buy.
