As much as everyone wishes that everyone had enough money to live the life that they dream of having the government raise minimum salaries is not as easy and going to be as fun as you think. You can't tell a business to give someone a mandatory $10,000 a year raise without price is going up or jobs being eliminated. But yet people are excited and believe that this is going to happen and that they're going to make more money and they do not understand how something like this is going to affect them, the economy, and their job. Why do we think that the government has any idea how to run a good business? How do we just tell businesses what they need to pay their employees and what each job is valued at? And why do we pretend when we say salary that it's kind of all the same. I guess we'll see if this actually happens or if it's taken back to court like they did when Obama tried this.
