Raising the minimum wage sounds good but has negative side effects. Companies will hire fewer workers, or move somewhere with a lower wage, if not overseas. People with low skills will not be employable; who would pay an unqualified 17 or 18 yr old 12+ dollars/ hr.? A better plan would be for the Gov't to cut taxes, so people could keep more of what they earn.

Missed the post; UnderseaLcpl said it better than I did.
