And this is also supposed to be a free country with values and the ability to keep people from being impoverished.

Please come to the city, Sam. There is poverty. There are different scales of poverty in the world. Income inequality is the real factor here.

I see where you are coming from about helping others but the best way to do that is to educate them on how to fish. Not just give them free fish at the expense of others who worked hard to get where they are. That isn't a free market as Sam said. Thats a form of socialism.

This brings up a point. Imagine getting a minimum wage job for $6.25/hr. You have a great work ethic and bust your buns to get a raise. Finally that day comes when you get your $1.00 raise and are now at $7.25. Another 6 months go by and all of a sudden the minimum wage is raised to 7.25. You are back at minimum.

What does raising minimum wage do for this guy? Nothing. He actually takes a step back.
