Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.

Sad thing is…minimum wage here in jersey is around $8.75 I believe… $15 is actually really good pay here apparently. But even that doesn’t help support a family. The bottom line is, everything a family needs is expensive. Unless you have a very very good paying job, you are still scrounging to get by, period
I think Walmart already succeeded in doing that 😛
We knew it would. Serves the piggish people right.
Now you see what minimum wage raises do think of something better. We need more jobs we need less jobs going to foreign people. That is what we need.
I hate to tell you numbers don’t lie, and you can’t fix stupid.
Well, I guess they have discovered the truth of the matter. Serves you right.
Said it would happen.
Or vice versa… They’ll both be working the same jobs. One dropping fries and the other flipping burgers.
