Yea minimum wage | 8:06 p.m. July 24, 2008
Raising the min wage is good. This will help the worker and motivate those paying min wage to become more efficient in their business.

So what if the rest of us have to pay a little more when use their services? This will help these people at the bottom end of the scale and they certainly need it.

Are we that selfish?
