IUBillsFan Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Does it really matter? I heard someone say that they couldn't raise a family on minimum wage, big surprise. Really any adult that is working for minimum wage must have a disability. Plus if you raise the wage what about the people that had worked to get raises now all of a sudden you have people just starting out making just as much...Heck even when I was working in high school I NEVER had to take a job for minimum wage there was always a better job.

Hammered a Lot Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Will Social Security be lock boxed ??? All I see is another way to raise $$$$, which in the end will be misspent. A employer matches the FICA taxes 6.2% and Meds. 1.45% tax, which you pay in the end because the employer will not eat added expenses. So raise wages, which raises tax revenue, which raises prices on products, which in the end is misspent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course she was only part-time,but she does not have a disability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
