The "Raise in Allowance" Bill Coming

Nancy Pelosi's push to increase the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour sounds nice, but the majority of people making minimum wages are either part-timers or kids. Further, as George Will points out, most making the minimum wage are not poor at all.

So essentially the new bill that the Dems are proposing is nothing more than an allowance increase for high school kids (paid for by us of course). Another study shows that the increased wages has an adverse effect - it actually promotes more kids to drop out of school to work. Maybe that's what the Dems are hoping for - an increase to their loyal base...

Captains Quarters has more.
