Time For A Raise?

In the article, " Time For A Raise?" they are discussing how Barack Obama would like to change the minimum wage from $7.25 hourly to $9 dollars an hour.

I think that this is a good idea but on the  other hand as its making it easier for other people its kind of making it a little harder on the business owners. If they raise the wage for one employee they will have to raise the wage for they other employees that are making more than 9 dollars. And because of the raising of wages then some employees might get less hours than usual, or some might just get fired.

" It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank, rent or eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it wouldmean customers with more money in their pockets." Low income families could really use the extra money, to survive in the world and it can also help people that do not have a job.

Some people feel as though just by having just a little bit of extra money to play around, should not / will not harm anyone. With today's society you need a little extra money just to be on the safe side.
