Wait to have a family until you make something of yourself. What is the incentive to do so, if the government dictates your raises to obtain votes, at the expense of inflation for the rest of us who worked our way up in this world. Ok. I'm off my soapbox now. Have a great day everyone!

How do you explain that a well run company like Costco can pay its employees a starting salary of $15, while Sam's only pays $7.25? There goes the theory that higher wages means higher prices. Where do you think you will get better customer service?
With the economy improving, and the unemployment rate now at 6.1%, these companies like Sam's will go begging for help. Don't be surprised to see only retired people supplementing their incomes on your next visit to Sam's.
