        Yeah, I don't see how that makes any sense. If lowers wages, not increase them.

        The outrageous part of it all. $16/hr was a bell of a lot more money 37yrs ago than it is today.

        I'll just guess that what 16$ bought 37 years ago it now takes about a hundred bucks to buy.

        It's not that poor people are all so lazy that they're poor. They haven't had a raise to match inflation. No wonder
