Since they want to raise taxes why don't they raise the minimum wage to at least $9.50 an hour.

Since the federal government spends all of there time talking about how to tax us and get money out of our pockets while we are struggling to pay our bills leaving us sometimes working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meat to take care of our families or live off of the system that is not really doing a whole lot to really take care of us in the end anyway. There are guidelines that you have to meet and if you go over them by even a dollar you are cut off. So why not raise the minimum wage and that will take way alot of people from depending on being in the system on being able to spend more time with there families and maybe less time working and hopefully less crime would happen, there would be more family time at home more time for kids to be with the families and less time for other things.
