The cost of living is constantly rising while the wage stays stagnant.

@SW-User min wage hike will only increase inflation, after a few months that $15 will be worth no more than the $7.50 was before, and you're right back in the same boat.

It really hurts people with savings, 401k's, etc. as they lose value as well

@wildbill83 Not if you tie it to inflation and increase it every year instead of doing it once every decade. And our money is steadily losing value regardless of the increase not happening.

@SW-User if you increase non skilled wages, what do you think happens to skilled wages?

hint : they increase proportionally

The solution is to decrease spending/overhead (costs), not hand out more money...

@wildbill83 I worked in State Government for over 23 years..never got a raise since 2008....I was losing money therefore retired early.
Everything is a sad state of affairs.
@SW-User Why offer such a leftist perspective?

@SW-User Venezuela is a bit further south. Keep going. You'll know when you hit it by the starving people and crumbling infrastructure. Then you'll be home.
