when you make $5.15/hr the extra 50 is nice im sure...but once you put it to work for you it still did not make you nay more take home cash. so now you can get some health insurance or some gas.......so now what...you make 7 something an hour and you are still broke as fuck.

i think alot of you missed the point i was making here...yes $50 a week is more than you had before but if you look at the big picture its not that much. thats $2400 take home extra in a year..a whole $7.14 a day...that huge raise netted you a #6 combo from hardees.

the point im trying to make is that even at $7.xx/hr no one can live off that shit..and giving someone an extra $2.00 raise at any income is not that big of a deal. hell this year alone i have gotten roughly $6.00/hr worth of raises....i dont hardly even notice that shit. maybe they should redo the tax system instead of rasing income.
