I have been reading quiet a bit lately about raising minimum wage. I have always thought that was a wash. I ran buisnesses for a large company many years ago when the minimum wage was raised. I complained up my chain of command for a raise in the precent of gross I could use for labor cost. Upper management said sure you can increase your labor percent by, I cant really remember what amount it was, but that was until they raised prices to compensate. So within a month the prices of everything went up proportionatly to the increase in minimum wage. If anything I could see how it hurts the people it is designed to help. Those of us who make quiet a bit more than minimum wage may benefit from cash flow and inflation. I might be wrong I was just thinking aobut it. What does everyone else think?
