Your spelling and grammar skills are on par with your logical thinking
skills. The USA is far different now than it was fifty years ago,
including
a much larger population and a wider gap between the haves and the
have-nots. And all those republican businesses moving
their labor off-shore over the past four decades.


You certainly will not help that situation by legislating an
artificially high wage to jobs that do not provide that level of
return for the business.
All you are doing is assuring that unskilled labor will be replaced by
more machines.


Agree that $15 is too high for some jobs but $7.25 is slave wages


Slaves dont get paid wages, they get flogged if they dont work hard
enough.

and has not kept up with inflation.


Thats very arguable with the stuff minimum wage people spend their money
on.

You need balance. If you want to keep jobs in the USA


There hasnt been an unemployment problem
in the USA for a hell of a long time now and
that with vast numbers of illegals many of
whom dont even get the minimum wage.

you have to pay enough for people to buy the products we make.


Mindlessly superficial.
