[quote=Anonymous]According the BLS numbers, the majority of people earning minimum wage are young and the job is NOT the sole source of income for the household. It's teenagers earning pocket money and people working second jobs. It makes sense too - anyone who works at a McDonald's who shows a slight amount of dedication to the job is going to get promoted quickly. I get the idea -- ensure a basic income for people supporting their family. But there's a much better way to do it -- raise the Earned Income Tax Credit. It's already implemented on MD taxes, so just raise the amount for those in MoCo. This takes into account total household income, as well as household size (number of children) while minimum wage does not.[/quote]
