House Votes To Increase Minimum Wage

Well that's all fine and dandy, and I've made my point about the subject before. But my biggest gripe with this article is this quote: "You should not be relegated to poverty if you work hard and play by the rules," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

Umm, If you do work and and play by the rules, guess what happens? You get promoted and get raises. That's the way all American business are run. Don't work for an employer that does that? Switch jobs. You're learning valuable job skills that can be brought over to another company. Everyone has had a minimum wage job that they absolutely hated when they were growing up, myself included. But that's just the way it is. Minimum wage jobs are meant for menial jobs. If you're raising a family, which is what Democrats love to throw out as the worst case scenario, you certainly shouldn't be working a minimum wage job unless you're a young adult just starting out in life. There should be something inside of you as a responsible adult to want to better yourselves.

This is America. Land of opportunity. If you can't get it together here, where the hell do you expect to go to make a life for yourself and your family?
