| Message | The minimum wage will make it harder on the owner of a new business to survive. The higher wage standard will limit job opportunities. The price of products and services will increase to make up for extra money that will be paid out to employees. I would only consider supporting the minimum wage if it was at a lower rate. |

The lessons of history are clear and portentous. If you do not turn onto politics, politics will turn on you." - Ralph Nader |
