DON'T RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE........LOWER THE COST OF LIVING.
Increase of wages means increasing the cost of living.....and we will never be better.
(1) Gov't should not allow companies who manufacture, produce or distribute necessity items (gas, food, water, electricity, etc) to gouge the consumer because they misspent or increase raises, wages or bonuses for their executive team.
(2) Food stamps should only be valid for required items like milk, bread, meat, no seafood, fruit and vegetable. All others should earn some wages unless totally disabled...I don't mean like depressed.
(3) Companies paying large sums of money for non-specialty work should employ more people.
(4) reduce or limit automated factories....lets create jobs, not eliminate them for bigger profits
