[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising minimum wage is to help people out of poverty. If everyone else gets a "raise", it just continues the gap. What your wife makes has nothing to do with minimum wage increasing. Wow, just wow.[/quote]

You don't think people with technical skills and experience should make more than someone that can walk onto a job with no specialized experience? [/quote]

They [b]do[/b] make more, and have far better work conditions and benefits. You just think the gap should be bigger. [/quote]

Yes, the gap between a college educated person with years of experience vs a high school student pushing carts should be bigger than a measly $5 per hour.  What's the point of paying for expensive college educauons then if your boost to income is only $5-7 per hour over a high school student?  [/quote]

If she wants to make more, she needs to look for a new job. An education provides you with mobility--if she fails to take advantage of that, it's on her. No one "owes" her more money for doing the same job.[/quote]

Use that same logic for minimum wage workers then too.  If you want more than minimum wage jobs apply for new jobs that pay more. Or gain skills/education so you can earn more. No one owes mimum wage earners $15 per hour using your logic too.[/quote]
