I was slowly gaining recognition and getting nickle and dime raises. Suddenly I was the high school student that had their own money, not their daddies. My hard work paid off and I was set apart from all the lazy slobs. <br /><br />Then there was an increase in the minimum wage. Everyone else got a raise so that they were in compliance with Federal Law. I already made that amount. <br /><br />Do you know what the attitude among my peers was? It went from "Your hard work is paying off so we should work hard also" to "You were a fool for doing all that work, when we get the same pay for nothing!" <br /><br />There is always going to be a minimum wage. Raising it will only give a short term benefit that will often be wiped out in months. <br /><br />But it buys an election from the 49%.
