If the House Republicans had their way, I suppose they'd bring back debtors' prisons. And I suppose House Democrats would confiscate every dollar I had in excess of the average # of dollars had by everyone in America. Your stats prove my point BTW. When the minimun is raised, businesses that pay it raise their prices. When unions force pay increases onto businesses they in turn increase prices as well. This cycle has been repeated for years and the poor remain poor. I was talking with one of my employees about preparing for the increased wages and he told me we should stop raising the minimum because he sees this played out all the time. You make .50 an hour more and costs go up .60. Happens everytime. Minimum wage increase hurt people at the low end.

How about this: Make welfare just as hard to get as a building permit. Same exact torture test. Just as hard. The excess from the bogus welfare payouts is applied directly to a quarterly bonus in cash to everyone in the country that is working at least 20 hours a week and making less that 8.00 per hour based on their most recent tax return. Simple.
