In reply to the discussion: House Dems propose raising minimum wage from $7.25 to $10 [View all]musical_soul
(775 posts)54. It's not right to judge.
Two things.
First of all, it's not always about bad decisions. I work for a corporation that hardly pays past minimum wage at all. They're cheap. It's full time, and I have insurance, but they're cheap.
Second of all, just because somebody made some bad decisions doesn't mean they should have to suffer forever and ever. That doesn't mean to keep making bad decisions, but a person shouldn't be forever punished.

This is nothing more than campaign material. It will go nowhere on either side of the election.
