Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.

Empower the employee “against” the employer? That can employ someone else? I would be thankful I had a job in Seattle….. hahahah
Reverse logic was used to get people to fall in line — this was a complete political scam on the poor.
The more cash I have means I can finally pay off hospital bills and every other bill that needs to be paid. There is no saving in this economy.
