There is considerable debate as to the value of the minimum wage in the U.S.
I for one believe that it is necessary. Even the American Industrialist Henry Ford realized that over a 100 years ago when he instituted the minimum $5 a day pay rate for his auto workers. This shocked his business competitors who though that such an income would drive them out of business.

What htye found out instead was that when people who normally don't have money get money they spend it on things they need causing sales to increase. What the sense in having workers who can afford to purchase the products the make.

Please take th epoll and get involved in this debate.

I'd appreciate it if the debate is limited to attacking the message and not the messanger.
