The minimum wage is not intended for those who are working a full time job and raising a family and have to live on these low wages. It is for entry positions for students, part timers, or for those that are not qualified for jobs paying more, in larger companies these jobs lead to better jobs and in some cases paid college tuition. It is sad to say but there are people out there that cannot be productive enough to earn $15.00/hour. These entry and part time jobs will be reduced to the point that only those who are ambitious, skillful, and hard working will get them, the others will be paid out of the extra taxes the entry level jobs produce while they sit at home having a not so good life. When these jobs are reduced the check out lines, drive through lines, motel check in times, all will be longer and longer.
