Wow, here in America we have a President Bush and Republicans, but they're not Nazis. Seems the Demos are the ones with the Klansman (Byrd) in power. So I don't know what country your in ruled by Emperors and Nazis, but you should apply for US Citizenship
No they wont support it, because it causes inflation, and raises the cost of living. Its counter productive. Take a course in economics

This is what happen when people go to public schools they don't even teach you economics 101 when you raise wages across the board a few things happen unemployment goes up prices goes up, or both please explain how increasing the minimum wage will benefit that person. The minimum wage is not a living wage it is for those people just starting out in the job market and those that do not have any skills. The best incentive to get off the minimum wage is to get some education or skills that,s the American way.

the ONLY people that get a benefit from a minimum wage increase are the Labor unions who's wages are attached to the minimum wages.
If there is a $2 increase, then they get a $2 increase.
Most Americans will get a decrease in pay due to the cost of goods and services will increase, but our pay will not!
Besides, I don't know many people that actually work for minimum wage. Even Walmart pays more then minimum...

Look the people in Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell etc, etc, etc. make more then the minimum wage already. I think the only time I ever made the minimum wage was when I worked as a part time veternarian assistant in high school. Other wise I always made more. So to me the minimum wage doesn't matter. And it has gone up over the last twenty two years.

I did, but if you childsih fools want to call us Nazi, then starting right now I say no. I will be calling all my elected officials and emailing them to block the minimum wage increase. Good job stupid, mission accomplished.

You do realize that the wage increase will be nullified by the cost of living increase that will come with it, don't you?
