I know the Federal Government has different COLA's for different areas.

Maybe the minimum wage should be tied to those.
Howdy Tom, I agree. Not sure where they plucked the $15 bucks an hour number. I was speaking to pop the other day and he was dead set against a minimum wage, sez it raises prices for everyone. But those 14 people who's income increased by 157 billion over the past few years...that doesn't affect prices...nosireee.....

Hard to pay skilled labor minimum wage when there are easier jobs to be had. The rich all complain about the amount of people on welfare. Well maybe that will change too, if you can make more on minimum wage than welfare. With a decent minimum wage and healthcare, most of this country's problems could start to reverse.
Most of this countries problems would start to reverse if folks would quit breeding irresponsibly.....
