Listening to the State of the Union...and it all sound well and good...but I just can't help but roll my eyes.
Oh good, we're going to raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00 an hour. Fantastic...but that does NOTHING for those who make $10/hr and are still poor as crap. How about mandating that employers MUST give all employees a raise equal to the difference between minimum now and minimum in the future.
That would actually help those of us who are making more than minimum, but apparently not enough to matter.
