    If the minimum wage gets bumped to fifteen dollars an hour. Those that currently make fifteen dollars an hour now have the right to demand $20 see how that does nothing but cause inflation?

      Not to mention the union contract which state that union wages must be x amount over the minimum wage...

          Raises are meant to keep a worker's wages up with inflation.

            Not really, but I see your point. Minimum wage should be increased in line with the RPI or whatever equivalent there is in the US. That way you just get natural inflation, which isn't a bad thing.

                    The minimum wage thing is a double-edged sword.

                    If you raise it too high, it puts people out of work - small companies will cut back on hiring,

                    and won't hire the handicapped, the spec ed students for some jobs. They will be able to

                    simply hire college students, other folks who have plenty of experience and ability.

                    Too low, and it doesn't help anyone be able to pay a few bills, or be worth their time.

                    The idea to set it variably by zones/states, is a very smart idea. As long as the federal gov isn't involved.

                      I agree, let individual states determine their own minimum wage. The cost of living in MA is ridiculous.

                      See WSS, we agreed on something!
