Minimum Wage, yo.

I believe that the minimum wage is an important thing to have; without it, companies would somehow manage to get away with paying their employers very little simply because it may be the best they can get. I believe minimum wage should be at least $10; a person should be able to support themselves on minimum wage. Although raising the minimum wage would require more money from the businesses, it's important for people to be able to survive and support themselves through their jobs. If they aren't able to do that, they're in trouble. For someone like me, a teenager trying to get a job just to have a little extra money or help pay for things, the minimum wage is fine; however, for someone trying to survive entirely off of it, it may become a bit difficult. The minimum wage should most definitely not be abolished; and as nice as it would be for it to raise to $15-20, that would begin to put strain on the businesses and the amount of employees they can hire. I support the minimum wage, but it's an issue that must be tread through carefully in order to help everyone.
