First, it's currently $6.55 and going to $7.25 in July. The article below gives

a broader picture. This legislation was signed by Bush in 2007. There are also

references to outsourcing and the housing industry.

I saw a reference of the federal minimum wage being $6.55 per hour; I

don't know if that's current.  Whatever, $7 or $8 per hour is not enough

to take care of a family.  Adding a dollar isn't going to do it either.

If you think we should have a minimum wage law why don't you want it to

be $20per hour?  Should I accuse you of apathy because you don't want

the poor to have a living wage?

When you figure out why it shouldn't be $20 per hour then apply the same

logic and you will know why minimum wage laws are unproductive.
