The more legitimate question would be why SHOULD the gov't even THINK about guaranteeing a "living" wage.

If decades from now robots have taken over most of the jobs, the government has best start figuring out how to come up with a living wage for everyone affected. A tax on robots?

No problem, the world will need 8 billion robot mechanics and those suckers all make top dollar. It'll all be good because everyone will be making a million bucks per year. Minimum Wage will not be needed. Finally the world will be fixed.

Uh wait i have to work then ?
if so the world needs to be fixed a bit longer.

Right, because it is the government's job to take care of us.

Go to the Journal Record website of homes over $1 million, we have a few, whether or not they in debt to their eyesballs trying to keep with with the Bennetts, or the McClendons eh who cares.
I know a few folks who have worked hard,saved, and oh my GOD! sacrifice a few wants and sometimes a few needs to have million dollar homes if they wanted too.
But instead sent their kids to good colleges/universities and gave them a good head start,after they taught them hard work is important, birthrights is not part of the real world or not a measurement of potential.
Its what responsible parents do.
LIFE ISNT FAIR, BUT SOCIETY SHOULD BE in giving out a shot at reaching potential.

I just read the notes posted for everyone to read at Crest last Tuesday and it was saying that everyone's hours must be cut due to the raise. They have not cut mine (yet) and I am still at 20 hours a week. People will be furious when they keep on hiring, because there is no point in hiring when everyone is losing their hours.

Personally, they should raise everything in that store by 10 cents, rather than cutting people's hours. Crest make a bunch of profits, so honestly, I do not see the need to cut people's hours. Walmart and Target pays above minimum wage and do just fine.
