Quote:Y'all missed my point.


My parents raised me with a hard work ethic, with a goold old "Can Do" attitude, a gotta work 60 hours a week sometimes to get up the ladder.


I'm educated, highly educated. History major and a Theology major, from a major Christian College. I'm smarter then most, and I was hired at the bottom rung in June of last year, at minimum wage, and I didn't blink an eye. I told the guy who hired me my first goal was to be GM of the store (Accomplished 8 months later), then I was coming for his job a year or two later.


The truth about the wage increase, is it's by encrements. It's going up to 11 on the 1st, and a dollar an hour after that, every year until we hit 15 in 2020. It gives people time to adjust to how to save labor and manage their personnel. What it definitely will do, is make it so the lazy losers can't get a job, because they are a waste of space. What will happen, now, is those losers can't get a job because they have no work ethic, and they go on welfare.


That's as simple as I can put it. It's not a good thing to raise the minimum wage that high. I think it should be higher, but not everywhere. It's not good for half of Washington State to have a higher wage, because the cost of living is so low. Maybe a Federal minimum of 10 could work.
