Of course the minimum wage should be higher, it hasn't been corrected for
inflation for YEARS.
I saw an interview on one of the networks (NBC-CBS-ABC) news programs where
two owners of a number of fast food franchises in California were
interviewed about changes since the community in which they were located
instituted a minimum wage increase, somewhere between 10 and 15 dollars.
They said things were never better! They got better employees, less
turnover, less absenteeism, better quality work, etc. When I see a business
owner say that a minimum age hike will kill his business, I think he is
really saying it will kill my ability to make obscene amounts of money. This
is all about greed.

Indeed, Bill. Something similar happens in this country, except that the
businesses don’t need to employ someone to do that duty as the Government
both pays the "tax credits” and organises the system. That’s why the
minimum wage should be higher.

That's what I meant. My ex-mother in law once worked for a small town
walmart and she said that the store had a full time employee whose sole
job was to set up other employees in welfare and food stamp programs, and
medicaid. Disgusting. All to support the lives of some of our wealthiest
citizens, who if the had no income for the rest of their lives, would live
lavishly on what they already have.
