while i realize we are talking about the country as a whole..
the washington state minimum wage is 7.50 already.
i think its a good thing we have minimum wage, otherwise we would have walmart employees making 2.00 an hour to sweep and mcdonalds employees making 4 dollars to cook fries.
also, in my own opinion- ive always felt that people who have worked those super low paying jobs for years(minimum wage), fastfood, etc could have switched at any time but didnt do to simple lazyness.
