IF i remember my stats correctly, the big push for minimum wage being raised is coming form, lets say the blue states (New England, Califorina) becuase the cost of living is high there there. BUt, in these states the hourly wages are higher by average than the red states(South Rural States) , lower cost of living in these.
Down here in Texas you can make it oon min wage, its not easy as everyone else but you can do it. And small businesses down here don't have high enough prices to pay for an $8.50 an hour.
So, I'm against raising it because all it would do is raise the cost of livivng everywhere and we will be right back whre we started. Everything will have a higher price. ANd those making the new min wage will still be in the same boat, and those not on a hourly wage will be hurt the most because their wages most likely won't go up and they will have to pay more.
