  1. They've got more money to spend now. The corporations where they spend that money will use that .15 cents to invest in their companies and hire more peoples. That will make the economy grow and the benefits will trickle down to make everyone wealthy.

  2. The solutions is increase your skills, make yourself an asset and not a beggar and get a fucking job. Why the hell are people deserving of a reward for making shit choices in life? Follow the advice you have gotten since childhood and make something out of your self other than a fucking low life.

  4. Having worked for minimum wage, I can tell you that it's damn near impossible to pay bills, even if you are single, no kids, no outstanding student loans. Most people need more than one of these basic jobs if they are trying to survive. Minimum wage is adequate if you are a 16-year old working to put gas in your old clunker of a car.
