Do you think that the federal minimum wage should be raised? (Page 2)

Question

The Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour is the minimum hourly pay any non-exempt worker in the United States can be paid for his work. The last time it was increased was in 2009. Since then cost of living raised 20%

Jersey2 · Answer

I am a conservative and I have in the past been against this. With the crazy inflation it is only right to raise the minimum wage.

It's criminal that it hasn't been raised in all that time. It's double that in my state, and good luck trying to find parking spots at stores.

MrInsensitive2 · Answer

It wouldn't make a difference wage goes up cost of living goes up stays the same. How do you think companies meet those wages...

Tomatotom90 · Answer

Most states, and cities pay well above Federal Minimum. I don’t believe increasing minimum wage would benefit anyone other than result in more cuts and terminations.

Anonymous · Answer

No I think taxes should be lowered, along with everything else. When minimum wage goes up so does everything else, minimum wage is just adjustment for inflation

I should be abolished. It harms low skilled workers and creates inflation.

There shouldn't even BE a minimum wage. Let businesses pay their workers what they can afford to pay them. It's none of the Govts damn business what companies pay their workers.

The real problem isn't the minimum wage. It's the rising cost of living which needs to be addressed and no one wants to solve that problem.

I absolutely think it should be raised to help people cope with the rising living costs.
