| Message | actually a high minumum wage would greatly assist the economy, because more poeple have more money, therefore they can buy more commercial crap, so companys get richer so, they can pay people more, so people get richer, then it happens again. |

| Message | You forgot to that the prices keep going up because it costs more to produce anything so the money is worth less . Minimum wages are self-defeating. |

| Message | ok i see your point, but poor people need some kind of minimum income, if not they may not have enough money to survive, so they can not buy consumer goods. plus this will further the poor rich divide. |

| Message | Actually people on the minimum wage spend money faster because a higher proportion of their income goes on necessities which naturally can't wait. Otherwise the money stays in the hands of the wealthy which are more inclined to sit on it. Hence a minimum wage helps the economy. P.S. The price of goods don't go up with the minimum wage, the rate of profit goes down. |
