I personally disagree with it. Coming from a rural county I understand how much it will hurt our local economy. Instead of lowering the poverty rate where I live it will drag down the current middle class. Obviously I think overall it will be helpful because in places where the standard of living is higher people need to be more fairly compensated (large cities where the minimum wage is only 7.55 per hour). Unfortunately in my town where there are no greedy corporations it will only hurt all of our small businesses where the owners make less than 6 figures a year already.
Your thoughts?
