Why should the minimum wage be raised? We righties may be a funny crowd but you lefties are a bunch of walking economic diseasters.

You seem to have this notion (like a lot of righties) that only stupid, lazy, or uneducated people have minimum wage jobs. I have to say you have little grasp on what it is to need a "minimum wage" type job on the way to your goals in life. You have to be able to eat and house yourself or your family, on your way to the american dream, don't you? It's like a guy I know from church. He told me, "You know, I'd rather pull myself up by the bootstraps, work my ass off to better myself and give my kids a better opportunity. But, I'd much rather do that, and feed/clothe them at the same time."

In a perfect world, were people don't get too greedy, we wouldn't need minimum wage laws. But in the real world, because people can't agree on what "too greedy" is, we need a minimum wage law.
