The Minimum Wage Argument: Is it too Low?

Yes, when you compare today's inflation with the minimum wage, it is way too low. The minimum wage should be raised to $8 to $8.50. And most people who do work those are adults (20 and older) or over 65% of the min. wage workers are these adults. Please tell me how adults can live on that little of pay and don't tell me raising it a few dollars won't do a lot for them because would do heaps of things for them. 40 hours x $2.00= $80 more per week or $320 more per month. These people could start saving their money to go to college or be able to take their kids to a daycare of some kind.

Tell me what you think. Should the min. wage be raised? Why or why not??
