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.

Seattle is full of illegals. Deport them, and stop scaring away hard working Americans. We deserve decent pay.
Some business’ won’t be able to handle that…..
no no no truth and action you are not looking at the whole picture here. What is actually happening is that the help organizations are not adjusting their paperwork to the raise in wage. It is the social workers who arte making this a problem. The wages go up the prices go up the prices go up the wages go up. and the social service system has to follow right along or they mes it all up. Understand? The greedy are greedy , but the social workers can not change that any more than the workers can. So they have to go with the flow the greedy marketeers throw at the workers. Understyand? Focus.
Note liberal democrats push to take 4 trillion and pay for a 1.2 trillion housing market problem, market crashed because of housing market. Economy still dragging like a great depression as they keep calling it a recovery.
I can see the point they are making but the true facts are always twisted for the person telling the story’s convenience.
people tried to tell this would happen and they totally ignored the facts and went for the emotions.
They were warned. But liberals don’t listen. They plunge ahead and then try to clean up the mess they make. Why should someone with no education make 15 an hour, when there are colleges grads still looking for jobs.

If you raise minimum wage.You must lower the wages of those higher up.Therefore people who were making $60,000 a year would now go down to $50,000 a year forcing them to sell their homes and find a cheaper cost of living.What we really want to do is achieve a higher wage than minimum wage by education or experience.
Duh! What did you expect?
