Raising the minimum wage - [View all]

[hedgehog]

I think the wage has to go up - but I can also see that his might be a problem for many small businesses. At the same time, the tax payer is subsidizing low wages already through food stamps, heating grants, public housing etc. I think Wal-Mart can take the hit, but I'm not so certain about the guy running the snow plow/lawn mowing business down the street. Would you favor raising the minimum wage and giving small business owners a temporary write-off of some sort?
