Why don't the liberals get it.
A few thoughts about things in the news. They Democrats in the legislature(and unfortunatly some Republicans)are talking about raising the minimum-wage. How come they can not figure out that raising the minimum-wage will not help. Right now the minimum-wage is 5.15 an hour, say they raise it to 6.00 an hour, then everyone making between 5.15 & 6 now will have to get a raise, and on up the ladder, so prices will go up more. Most people who have minimum wage jobs do not stay in them. If they stay there they choose to.
Now I know someone might say you don't know how it is. Yes I do I have a Masters degree and a teaching certificate. I have worked minimum wage jobs prior to getting my education and after, but I didn't stay there I found ways to work to get a higher paying job.
With all the programs available to people, they can get retraining, etc. and find a better job.

a difference between dems and reps.
Dems power comes from having us rely on them. thus if we raise the min. wage, food, clothes, ect will go up. it will create another problem. no one will be able to afford products which we need. with no one able to afford the items currently such as gas, and food items as well as small business owners being forced to pay higher wages, people that are in these positions are in need of help. and DUN DUN DUN, in come the dems to save the day with welfare (which is an overused and abused way to spend my tax money, it needs reformed, but this is another topic for another time..) thus creating a need for their party, and making them look like nice and caring people.
point being, by hurting the upper middle class in turn hurts the poor and blue collar America. If we raise min wage at this point in time, we are all screwed.
