While that may be a fact, the min. wage - just stop with it, okay?

First off, fast food restaurants are hiring people at $12 to $15 an hour, right now, today. Gas stations start at around $12. Fast food workers, unless they are shift managers or up, and gas station clerk jobs are NOT full time jobs, and not meant to be livable wage jobs.

If you know someone working a full time job, and doing even semi decent at it - that is making $7.25 an hour, that person needs to leave that job. Shoot, REAL full time jobs at a factory are starting people off $15 to $18 an hour right now.

So the state min. is $7.25 an hour...........big deal. No one is making that.
