Minimum wage

[japan4racing]

and for the percon who said it wont be noticeable, buddy are you wrong . when i first started working back in cali @6.25 hr i got a $2 increase after been gired full time. and boy was it noticeable

it would work out to $70 more a week before taxes and other deductions you can look at losing about 30% of that shit through taxes and deductions....wow...a $49 dollar raise a week. that isnt noticeable in my opinion. for $49 i can almost fill up the gas tank on my truck. even when you make as little money as 5.15/hr that shit is not too noiceable.

im just glad it does not effect me..i make over $20 an hour so i am not worried about this minimum wage shit. its nice that it might get raised...and it does need to get raised. but i still beleive that its not gonna make a difference....unless of course you think $49 a week is good. i would not even miss $49 if it was taken from my check...i get raped anyways

you're right that's hardly noticable. but to a Company with(hypathetically) that employees 100 people that would be $7K. and guess who gets to pay for it. you and me the consumer. I don't think most people understand it. same thing with taxes. if the gov't raises the tax on a item does the company just say, "F it. we'll take th e hit."? no, they'lll raise the price to make up the loss. beside who here knows anyone that makes minimum wage? besides some kid in highschool working @ Arby's?
all raising the MW will do is make things that much more expensive for you and me.
