People can't live on $5.15. My libertarianism can blow me on stuff like this, one can't be a party toadie on every issue. The obvious can't be argued if you've seen/felt how tough it can be with a family and a job that just doesn't pay enough. Anything under $10 an hour is really pushing it so this minimum wage increase is really just a small help/first step. But it's something.
My libertarianism returns, quick, when workers have to pay 1/4 (or, usually, more) of their weekly incomes in taxes.
