Minimum wage is an issue for you?
Someone's pension is an issue for you? A pension is not a gift. People have worked for that pension. I had to work 10 years before I was vested with my pension.
I don't understand the someone else's money quip?
No one is getting rich from minimum wage increasing. I would rather for a person who works 40 hours per week to be able to afford housing, food, and healthcare as opposed to it being subsidized with tax money. Isn't that a better option.
As you know everyone is not afforded the same opportunity to go to college or get a good paying job, or other things that some of us have been blessed enough to have.
I have worked two jobs from 16 until a few years ago when my youngest was born. I have been homeless, unemployed, and underemployed. Having compassion for someone else is not a bad thing.
