[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's odd that people feel personally insulted by an increased minimum wage. Like, they want low-wage workers to suffer in order to buttress their sense of self-worth.[/quote] So naturally you'll be getting a proportional increase in your own pay, right? In fact, everyone will, right? Because otherwise, YOUR work and YOUR skillset (and all the education, and trouble you went through to acquire it) are now devalued proportionally. Because people with NO skill are now closer to your wage, while yours did not rise in keeping. So you're worth less. Despite the fact that you've worked very hard to acquire skills far beyond the minimum. [/quote]
