Here we go again. The minimum wage thing.
"If I made more money I'd be able to buy more things"
Why are people so dumb? Don't they understand simple economics? The places that pay minimum wage are generally the places shopped by minimum wage earners. And guess what happens when businesses are forced to raise wages? That's right Einstein, they raise prices. So what have we gained? Nothing but more inflation. The minimum wage earner STILL can't afford to live the high life. But I guess some people can't even wrap their puny little minds around that simple concept. Guess what people, minimum wage isn't meant for adults to live on, it's for people who are entering the workforce(teenagers). If you're an adult who has so little skills that the best job you can get is a minimum wage job then maybe you should rethink your life.
Obviously you've made some dumb choices in life, like getting knocked up at 14 or dealing in meth and now you're un-hireable. Sorry but why should the entire economy suffer because you're an idiot? And of course kids grow up seeing that mommy or daddy is an idiot but still gets taken care of by society in general and learns that they can be idiots too. And guess who pays for that, That's right, people who were smart enough to stay out of prison and/or not become drug addicts or parents in their early teens.
I have no problem with my tax dollars temporarily helping people in a tough spot. Crap sometimes happens and even the best of us can be caught off guard but I nor society in general should not have to constantly pay for your bad choices in life.

I agree. Some people seem hell bent to stupid us right out of existence. There seems to be 2 prevalent thought patterns. 1=What is everybody gonna do to help me and 2= What can I do to keep these stupid fuckers enslaved.
The second mode is the one used mostly by government and big business.
There is a 3rd mode of thinking which is; How can I afford a new big screen tv,etc.
These people are enslaved in a different way than the 1st but slaves none the less.
