    The new year will bring somewhat fatter paychecks to many Americans, with more than three dozen states and cities counties raising their minimum wage. http://abcn.ws/2CBtSvG pic.twitter.com/5qBlR7ERH9

        Wages were going up, a number of states already put it in motion..before Trump was elected and nothing to do with Trump's non-helpful-in-the-long-run-tax-cut. You try to keep up...

        Raising the minimum wage results in less hours for workers which leads to less overall income to minimum wage workers. Look for companies to automate where they can to replace workers even faster. Well done liberals!

        You are absolutely right! The best way to help workers is to provide training for them to learn skills that are not able to be automated such as providing a service.

        I agree but Republicans are always slashing education and didn’t support Obama’s job training programs. There are 6 million jobs to be had in U.S right now but not enough skilled workers. Education is an investment that pays for itself.

        Trump has been funding the trade schools and I think that’s a step in the right direction. We currently spend more than any other country per student on education. An outdated curriculum is also to blame but sweeping changes are needed.

        Agree changes need to be made, if we spend money wisely we can reap the benefits. HS requirements need to change, more funding for inner cities and rural schools in the trade department-not all students are cut out for physics etc. Funds 4 Tech/trade training are usually slashed

        When minimum wage goes to 12 or $15 a burger at McDonalds cost $10. You cannot raise a minimum wage and not expect everything to go up

        Obama nor Trump had anything to do with it...it's the state level. If Trump really wanted the middle class to have a wage increase, he would have raised the federal minimum wage. That tax bill is to make rich people richer.

        If you pay taxes you will get more money because of the tax bill. It does not matter rich or poor nine out of ten will get more money

        Yes temporarily 9 of 10 will get more money. Gradually individuals lose cut with the lowest paying more 1st. Will cut cover increase in insurance premiums since the mandate is gone? They'll probably just balance each other out, so you're not really receiving a cut.

        The mandate made my insurance higher. It was so much some people in my family had to drop their insurance and pay the fine. The ACA scam was for rich people and people that did not work at all

        Your premiums rose with the ACA they're going to increase more when people elect not to have coverage not to mention the ER visits. Be sure to save the crumbs you're getting from the pie, you're going to need it and some to pay your taxes in 5 years.
