I wonder how many jobs are going to be lost when employers
have to decide who to keep and who to let go because they cannot afford to pay
a government-mandated $9/hr wage to all
their employees.
The Minimum Wage is that--a minimum.
It's not supposed to be a living wage; the premise of
"minimum" is that you
aspire to rise above it--not wait until the government raises it.
About the only thing tonight's SOTU speech inspired me to do
was turn off the TV.
