Probably none as I suspect those on minimum wage as a source of income can't afford a computer or high speed Internet.
On second thought, there are perhaps a few, who work for mega corporations like McDonald's and Walmart, who suck wages and money from communities, while hiring employees at minimum wage, who are living with their parents as they can't afford an apartment!
Whoever is working for minimum wage is getting screwed by some corporation that shell out more to their stockholders!
It is a damn shame some business had to give a raise to those from whom they steal their labor, and they still are below poverty guidelines! You Republicans could not get a minimum wage bill through while they took thousands in increases in their stipend

I got a little bit of a raise from knowing they barely raised the minimum wage in the past 15 years.

When I was younger working for minimum wage, I noticed that whenever the state raised it, the cost of everything went up a quarter and my spending power was exactly the same.
Now I'm a bit older, making above minimum wage, my wage doesn't go up at all, and the cost of everything goes up a quarter, and my spending power goes down.

Nobody I know. If you do good work, you'll get raises and the only time you'll be paid minimum wage is when you sign up for your very first job for about the first 6 months (like at a fast food restaurant). If you work badly, never get educated, and have a poor grip on english, you may still be at minimum wage. I'm glad we're wasting money on those people.

Every time that minimum wage crap goes up it brings me closer to being at the bottom of the wage earners. 10 years ago 13.50 an hour was a good starting salary, now it ain't s**t!

Well posting for 5.85$ per hour with no benefits is still pretty bad, what is the DNC paying?

Not me - it never has helped me. This is a ploy by the Democrats to get votes.
