Minimum Wage, yo.

I think minimum wage is definitely a good thing to keep. It sets a fair wage for working Americans, which is very important for the well-being of many working-class people. I don't think it should be raised, because that would put a strain on companies with more experience employees and would lead to them having to cut expenses somewhere else. This would most likely have a negative effect on employees. Although a higher minimum wage would certainly be nice, it would simply put too much strain on small businesses to actually work. However, it is extremely important that we actually have a minimum wage and that it is not abolished because it is what maintains fairness and equality in the work force. I think the minimum wage should remain as it is, because it seems to function well this way. Either that or it could be raised a little bit, but not so drastically that it has a huge effect on businesses.
