House Raises Minimum Wage

[CaptainBubba]

But about your concerns Courage, uhhh, well, if you get fired because of this and become unemployed at least you wont be making 6 dollars an hour! Yea!

And "poverty" is an arbitrary term so the pretty graphs are pretty pointless. People can and do manage to live on wages lower than this proposed minimum wage. I work and have worked with them before and although its hard for them I'm sure theyd prefer it over no job at all, and rest assured, raising minimum wage raises unemployment. I could even find a graph of it if I cared to! Maybe I will when someone says I'm making it up.
