This is something I feel strongly about and I posted it in the 30 days forums. The cure is not to raise the minimum wage, it'll ALWAYS be impossible to live on because if minimum wage goes up, then regular pay has to go up as well, which would mean the U.S. dollar value would go down and then there would have to be some inflation, then since all the money is on par, guess what, your at ground zero and minimum wage still sucks. In simple terms its like saying that 1/2 is the same as 2/4, I hope you know fractions. However, the cure is guess what........ EDUCATION!! You can't just raise minimum wage, you have to get more people living middle class so people can actually live, giving free money does nothing. You have to give people the tools in order to live a normal life. Have you ever heard of the saying " If you give someone a fish you feed them for a day, If you teach them how to fish you feed them for a lifetime." This saying directly relates to the poverty problem in the U.S. So, instead of using tax payers money to raise minimum wage, it should go more into education, the answer to most problems in society to day is education. Oh yeah, I didn't know people didn't know that there are alot poor people in the U.S.
