Rase the Minimum Wage for Everybody

Isn't it time we got real about wages.  The low minimum wage is nothing but a subsidy to the business community.   My view is, and it may be harsh, but if you can't pay at least $15 an hour for a worker, there is something wrong with your business plan.  Get out of business.  You're not really making money, you're stealing or getting a free ride from the rest of us.  It's not fair that we, the real taxpayers, have to pick up the slack.  We have to pay for medicaid and Food Stamps.   Raise wages and lots of those people could pay their own way.  I'm all for that.  If the family values people really cared about families and children, they would be for it also.  Unfortunately the buck stops in their pocket and their pocket only.   They purposely over extend and thereby undermine social programs in order to eventually eliminate them.  They don't want workers, they want slaves.  Anything like the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare that loosens the choke hold they've got on the American worker is a threat and must be stopped.  Have we had enough of these people.  If so, get out and vote this November.
