Minimum Wage Is A "Slave" Wage

After looking at this chart, I don't understand how anyone can think the current minimum wage is a fair wage for any worker. And the congressional Republicans would like to eliminate the minimum wage so employers could pay even less. It's just more proof that Republicans don't care about workers -- they only care about the rich.

    Often a small business person has no way to pay above minimum wage. Even the minimum can be a huge burden for many. Perhaps you don't understand the basics of business? Granted minimum wage is not a "living wage." It is a double edge sword.

    Do you know any adults who work for minimum wage?
