A Raise for the Most Deserving!

This Friday minimum wage will rise from $6.55 to $7.25 an hour. Conservative economists are worried that the raise will lead to layoffs. Joe Palmer, a liberal economist, sees it differently. "This has been a long time coming...but finally a pay increase for those who need it the most. This is a big day for teenagers and lazy bums all over the country. This is a victory for Alice Price, a waitress at a diner, who just really doesn't like to exert herself. It is a victory for 17 year old Stevie Olson who will now be able to afford his new Playstation two weeks earlier than planned. It is a victory for anyone who would rather find a new job than disrespect themselves and actually earn a raise by performing the job duties."
