A democratic senator from Iowa wants to raise minimum wage to $10.10, that's from $7.25. This would bring in about $6,000 a year. More than 70% of all Americans would like to make this happen. The main things holding this back is that the republican party is most likely not going to go for this. Most of the people working for minimum wage haven't graduated from high school, and about half are 25 and older. So I propose this question, is the problem really the money that they are making or is it that the people not making good choices at a younger age? Either way I believe that increasing the minimum wage is not going to help in the long run.
