[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2774332, member: 425"] I won't lose any sleep over what they, or you, or anyone, is spending money on. People working full-time, and currently in poverty because they are stuck in a minimum-wage job (among many other reasons, many not because of personal issues/choices), will use the income to *not* live impoverished. What kind of life could you afford on $1256 per month (current minimum wage) or even $2600 per month (proposed minimum wage), especially if you live outside Oklahoma in places where the cost of living is much higher? And nobody, yet, has addressed the issue of the govt. subsidizing most everyone now making minimum wage. Corporations/big-businesses are receiving govt. subsidies that make minimum-wage earners seem like a drop in the ocean...if you're advocating for shutting off the govt. subsidy faucet to those in poverty, why not advocate the same to corporations?
