I don't understand how people still fail to see that raising minimum wage really doesn't equal more money in your pockets. Sure your check will be a little higher, but when you go to the store so will all of the products. If a business has to pay you more, they have to recoup that money somewhere. Only logical place to recoup that money is to raise prices.
You want to make more then minimum wage? Get off your ass, get an education or find a trade job where they will teach you via on the job training. Stop expecting handouts and everyone else to take care of you. Be responsible for your own life and make the change that you want.
