    A rPaise in minimum also raises amount paid in taxes by employer. So small business owner pays more in salary AND more in FICA . No one talks about that!

    It is better to encourage low wage earners to improve their skills and raise their wages the old fashioned way.

    These type of jobs were never meant to support a family. Usually, they were jobs for high school kids, college kids, or just to add to the family real income. I have never heard of anyone saying that they wanted to grow up to be a hamburg flipper at McDonalds, as a profession for the rest of their lives. Also, if the Fed would quit printing money, maybe seven dollars an hour would be worth seven dollars an hour. When you keep on raising the minimum wage all you do is put others out of work.

    Minimum wage is not meant to support a household, but to give unskilled people desiring to enter the work force to add another salary to the total household income, allowing that person to have spending money. As this entry level salary is raised it will cause this unskilled worker TO NOT BE HIRED in favor of a more skilled worker, causing this higher minimum wage to BECOME the only household income. This fallout is going to add to unemployment, and less work for the unskilled teenager trying to find employment. These jobs are not meant to trap people over their entire life, but as this wage is made higher, it WILL TRAP people, in NO JOB!

    You as an elected official have no clue what you are doing. Why don't you worry about what is more important, like enforcing the immigration laws that have been on the books for decades. I am so disappointed in my elected officials. You people are scared to stand up against Obamaand what you you are doing is a crime. If our elected officials ccan't start working for the people who put them in office, then maybe it is time you were replaced. Start doing what we pay you to do or get out. You aren't doing your job. You act like the people who put you in office are not a concern to you, but you are wrong. Take action to work for us and stand up for the people. Everyone is tired of your blantant disregard for the American people.
