confederation with the minimum wage hike?

7. I think the minimum wage should definitely be raised in all states, but not all states are California or New York, every state has its own needs so they shouldn't be risen at the same rate or even risen to the same number because some states economy couldn't handle the same rise as others.

More kids will be set on college rather than helping the family get by. They would still be doing that but just less time would be put in and more towards school. The way you work should determine how you get paid though too I think personally.

It will help out a lot of people with money problems, and it will cause more good than bad.

7) I don’t think that the rest of the country should raise the minimum wage to fifteen dollars because people will have trouble paying everyone such high amounts and so all they would do is fire a large amount of them.

7. The rest of the country should NOT follow suit and raise the minimum wage . The minimum wage is perfect for young people starting up in the job world allowing them to do basic things. Most minimum wage jobs are jobs where you don't need any type of skills or trade. Raising the minimum wage would set wages higher for people with low or no skills than people who have possibly been to a 2 year or possibly a 4 year college and did what was right in school to get their education. You should get paid based on your education. Minimum Education= Minimum Wage

7. Yes. We should be giving the minimum wage workers the ability to support themselves and their families just like everyone else in America. Instead of pushing people down for not receiving all of their education and insisting that they work harder to earn a better pay, I believe we should support them so that they can have a stable income and maybe it will make them want to achieve and push for more money and a better job.

Also, because with a higher income, prices will also go up, just making more things complicated.

Maybe they should raise to about the 12 or 13 dollar range, so maybe the business owners could pay their employees.
