I agree the minimum wage should be increased.

Wildwood Crest - I agree the minimum wage should be increased. Not all jobs are worth $15 hr. All prices will go up as every employer will have to pass on the increase.The extra pay for low wage earners will not make up for the increased cost for all goods. Not to mention lost jobs. But make no mistake. The gov't is not pushing increase for low wage earners. With the extra pay, employees will pay more in taxes. Employers will pay more in matched taxes. Higher prices for goods net higher sales taxes paid. Income tax will be higher for some. Don't be fooled. This is just a ploy for gov't to reap more tax money.
