Actually if you type in minimum wage from virtually any year into a inflation calculator, it adjusts pretty close to it all the way back to the first few decades it was in effect. its been tied pretty close to inflation for a long time now. also some states have higher minimum wages than others, much like some states have higher costs of living than others... money isn't valued equally in this country, after all...

Seems like pretty common sense to me. Job with: no education required whatsoever + little physical requirement + an overflowing market of willing workers = low pay.
That's what's supposed to spur you to move upward. Flipping burgers isn't designed to be a long-term job for a family man; it's designed to be a stepping stone to something, anything higher.

If the ***** that took my order yesterday at Burger King ever makes over $10.00/hour then this economic system is ****** up.
The bigger picture is this is a portion of the class warfare that has been going on in this country for a long time. They distract the masses with propaganda and falsely important issues, then keep enacting laws that make it nearly impossible for the lower and middle classes to climb past poverty or near poverty levels. I am a firm believer that eventually they will force hyperinflation to intentionally crash the dollar one day. If you invest correctly this will make a bundle for those who are aware it is coming while basically bankrupting the rest of the country. Till that day, moves like this do wonders for devaluing ones life savings and retirement funds and forcing people to work longer for less benefit

You know who you need to fix the problems with not enought savings and retirement funds?! GOVERNMENT!!! TO THE RESCUE!!
wherever there is economic growth to stall...he'll be there
wherever there is de-inflation to thwart...he'll be there
look, in your accounting books!

Yeh right, If I wanted to pay an illiterate, surly underachiever for bad service, I'd eat lunch at the DMV. How 'bout this, you get a quarter an hour raise when you've learned how to say 'thank you' instead of 'no problem'.
