    so yeah that is also why mcdonalds dont have a dollar double cheese burger anymore... they have a double hamburger....hell it is a never ending cycle.... minimum wage still has a dollar to go the new law raises it to 7.25 but they did a gradual raise but doin 45 cents first and next year a 1.25 increase .. hell i live alone and i am 23 w/ only a high school education but i got a great job.... i believe you should be paid on how valuable you are to a company not on what the government thinks you should get paid
