WSJ?OTD

"Should the federal minimum wage of $5.15 be raised?"

Piece of cake for me bro'!

Answer: Fuck, yes!

Yes what?

More and a lot more.

Do the math. At 5.15 an hour people are making 206.00 a week. Of course, all would be working overtime or a second job as this goes under the poverty line.

And so on.

Give me a break. I am an old line liberal progressive. I shouldn't have to rationalize here.

For once, the WSJ righties agree with me! It must be good for business to pay more.
Here are the choices and results:

Yes, but keep it below $6 an hour
106 votes (9%)
Yes, make it $6 an hour or more.
563 votes (45%)
No, keep it where it is.
152 votes (12%)
Abolish the minimum wage altogether.
424 votes (34%)
