Sparks, Okay...you're right, I can't be budged on the war either so it's probably time to put that conversation to bed. BUT (there's always a but!) regarding minimum wage I think people are forgetting something VERY important. These low paying jobs are not meant to be able to support a family. It is unskilled labor that is usually targeted at young teens to be able to gain work experience and move on to higher paid jobs. Nobody expects a job at McDonald's (unless your management) to be able to support a person living on their own or worse yet supporting a family. These are stepping stone jobs. Low pay is expected. Raising all these wages just raises the cost of living for us all. And even at it's new minimum it's not enough for anybody to live on. So what's the point?
