The minimum wage is a burden on the economy that needs to be removed immediately.
It increases the unemployment rate, and drives the employment of illegal immigrant workers.
It inflates prices of everything that requires labor, which weighs on the lowest income earners the most.
It makes our manufacturing industries less competitive, and sends our manufacturing jobs out of the country.
It was meant to keep people at a healthy standard of living, but has had the complete opposite effect. Get rid of the minimum wage today and have a better tomorrow.
