| Message | This will hurt our economy even more than the minimum wage. Soon enough the wage set here will become inadequate and you will need to raise this higher, and then higher. This is the rampant destruction this kind of socialism will bring. Is this what you really want when we already have such a low unemployment rate? People aren't starving DR. |
