That any legislation proposing an increase to the Federal Minimum Wage be vetoed. This request is based on my own first hand experience as a business manager during previous increases to the F.M.W.
As the FMW increases, so do prices charged by business owners. Simple math - If they have to pay employees more, they charge customers more. This simple process means that, even though an American makes more per hour; they in fact make no more money overall. Further, anyone who was already making more than the FMW, now also bares the increased prices, forcing our "middle-income-class" even further into the "lower-income-class". Employers also cut jobs, and cut hours, to compensate the costs. Simply: Increasing the FMW is a sure fire way to make the Economy worse.
