[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1372540, member: 19397"] I'm having a very hard time with the $15/hour minimum wage deal. I'm a skilled/trained/educated worker. What I do is not as simple as it sounds or looks when I do it. I busted my tail in school and went in on my own volition during breaks to hone my skill. I put in my time and I earned what I have. When I was in high school I worked at a McDonald's franchise. This was in 1999. At that point it was pretty automated, so I'm assuming it's gotten worse. There was no real needed education to do this. The training lasted all of 5 minutes. And the pay matched that. What I'm getting at is that in what way do these people deserve that much money? What will happen to my cost of living when/if this happens? Most certainly it will increase (hopefully not by too much), and my salary will either need to be compensated or I will fall behind where I am. But the real crux is that if these people make more money, and have more spending power, then the cost of ALL goods will go up so that other people can compensate for their loss of spending power. How do these people not see this? :bang: [/QUOTE]
