Working people are (or were) considered to be the "backbone of our country". It's NOT the Wall Street types. If that is true, then I would have no problem with a $50 minimum wage. Rewarding working people is a good idea. The problem is that companies would just pass along those costs and keep their same profit margins. That's where PROGRESSIVE taxes are needed.
