Wonderful Post.

With the ongoing economy, the less the average american can afford to spend, the more our country is going to suffer. There has to be people to buy the products being made. Without an increase in a living wage, the less of those products are bought.

That creates a domino effect because those companies will have to lay off (and lower wages) due to decrease demand, and that will create even less spending power bringing more layoffs. This will slowly erode the middle class even further than it has become.

This is what the wealthy wants, they are the ones that control the republicans. It is all cool-aid and the sheep laps it up, becoming rabid dogs against anyone that disputes the propaganda they have been fed by the wealthy. It is heart breaking to see those under the delusion become so hateful and bitter towards anyone that speaks out against it.

Increasing min. wage will not only create more jobs (due to increase buying power), but it will also expand the middle class. The rich doesn't want that, they want money our pockets deserve.
