Many large business I don't give a shit about. When I hear about excessive bonuses and profits... Well they can suck it. Awards

The real question is what happen to being able to graduate from High School and go to work for a factory or warehouse making 3,4 or 5 times the minimum wage?? Why are Head of Households working at McDonalds?? If raising the minimum wage really work lets raise it to 1,000,000 dollars a hour! johnny So you're telling me that as head of the Household I shouldn't be working at McDonalds? You mean I can't pay child support for my 15 kids with 5 different women on that type of salary? Who'da thunk it? Awards

It is going to raise the cost of living. It is going to cause a lot of bad issues. BC is not accurate it is 10.85 i dont know about the rest

It paid about $1.60/hour which was minimum wage in Maryland at the time. The job wasn't worth more than that as a starting wage. It was a very low skilled job for young people to make a couple of bucks after school & on weekends. Period. The car wash could never have sustained paying employees enough money to live on. it would have gone out of business. Awards
