If there is a minimum wage increase, and Wal-Mart execs support it because these workers will spend more at Wal-Mart stores, then aren't these workers paying to send their REAL jobs overseas(manufacturing jobs instead of selling junk foreign retail merchandise)?
To me it just seems like a minimum wage increase will hurt the middle class and not help it in the long run. Sure they'll appreciate the temporary increase in wages, but when the only place to work is at a retail store making minimum wage because low dollar retail sent your manufacturing job overseas, that's not good for the economy in the long run.
