I mean, the government would never do something like this and I can understand their decision logically. That being said, what other answer did you expect me to give? A hopeful statement that they should? That's unrealistic sweetie.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How do you feel about the concept of a 'living wage' where the minimum wage is based on the cost of basic needs in your area versus a flat country-wide rate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Do you believe that raising the minimum wage might affect the quality of service or products as businesses try to cut costs elsewhere?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How might a higher minimum wage impact your community, particularly in areas where many people work minimum wage jobs?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What are some of the challenges you think teenagers might face finding part-time jobs if employers had to pay a higher minimum wage?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If entry-level salaries were higher, do you think it would change your decision about going to college or choosing a particular career path?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Imagine if your favorite small business had to pay their workers more; do you think it would change the way they operate or the services they offer?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How do you think raising the minimum wage could affect the prices of things you buy regularly like food, clothes, or entertainment?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Can you share a personal experience where earning more would have substantially improved your or another's well-being and how it impacted you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Have you ever felt that a job you or someone you know had was paying less than what the work was worth, and what would you consider a fair wage?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would your life change if your first job paid you significantly more due to an increased minimum wage?

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation. Allow individual states to raise the wage if the cost of living in their area necessitates it

 @93YKQZL from California answered…2yrs2Y

Abolish the federal minimum wage and make it a local or state issue. Create guidelines to ensure that state and local leaders cannot abuse the system to establish low wages for others.

 @57XN3G4answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and raise all wages to a living wage and comparatively to education/degree.

 @9425J2G from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

No, lower cost of living so that people can afford what they work for. Minimum wage for entry level jobs and free training/promote from within a company should be implemented.

 @93Z7LG5 from Kansas answered…2yrs2Y

No, wage standards should be local because living cost is different across the country

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time.

I've heard of many people happily living on $7k per year despite having much more (even being rich). However, this does require some time to aquire skills for DIY. So $24k may be more reasonable for people without those skills.

 @93SWSM8 from Utah answered…2yrs2Y

No, different states and zip codes have vastly different costs of living and income necessity, so wages should be adjusted accordingly.

 @92JXK3J from New York answered…2yrs2Y

Every state has a different standard of living. Each state should have the power to decide on a minimum wage. The federal government should only ensure that the minimum wage is not abused by state governments for politics.

 @4HNKVKTanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the federal minimum wage should be set in line with the lowest state or by a calculated value rather than a flat value for the entire country

 @92JXK3J from New York answered…2yrs2Y

Every state has a different standard of living. Each state should have the power to decide on a minimum wage.

 @8TBSRN2 from Washington D.C. answered…2yrs2Y

The federal minimum wage should be set based on profit, number of employees, and inflation.

 @93GXC37 from Michigan answered…2yrs2Y

 @93CS3TH from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

 @8TMFV7P from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

No, eliminate all wage standards and implement a Negative Income Tax instead

 @9344LDW from Connecticut answered…2yrs2Y

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

No, the government should have no control over the wages agreed between an employer and an employee in the private sector.

 @8YFCYTS from California answered…2yrs2Y

No, states should set their own minimum wages and adjust it according to inflation

 @92XHX9V from New York answered…2yrs2Y

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No, minimum wage standards should be a state option rather then federal option

 @92PJ2HW from Oregon answered…2yrs2Y

No, this prices out small businesses that cannot afford to pay workers and benefits large corporations like Amazon and Walmart. Additionally, small businesses make up a large portion of empoyers.

 @8532KYJ from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

No, eliminate the minimum wage and replace it with a citizen dividend

 @92JXK3J from New York answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the Democratic proposal of 15 dollars is too high. 10-11 dollars is a better idea.

 @92DRQZManswered…2yrs2Y

You can raise it but not much, if it is raised I say raise it only a dollar or 2

 @7MKJ4WC from Nebraska answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, in accordance with inflation but not every year unless inflation is drastic.

 @9242PWP from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

yes make it a living wage to be able to live in the are you are working if you are paying for housing or are homeless however if you are not put it back to $10 but also keep all of these consistent with inflation.

 @923Z93G from Pennsylvania answered…2yrs2Y

No, remove all wage standards and provide a national dividend to all adult citizens instead

 @8ZVJ2LM from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

adjusts depending on inflation percentage shouldn't lower but can increase when inflation normal keep at 7.25

 @8T9KVZK from Tennessee answered…2yrs2Y

No, I support the abolition of all federal wage standards in favor of increased collective bargaining rights

 @4M8TY2Manswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it should be a living wage and be increased yearly according to inflation.

  @JaredForALGov from Alabama answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and it should be dynamic enough to account for changes in cost of living for a given area.

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, adjust it every year at the federal level based on inflation and the cost of living, but allow states to adjust their own minimum wage as well.

 @8ZGPKM9 from Missouri answered…2yrs2Y

yes make it to where the people are able to have it and keep it and it should raise based on how many people they are taking care of

  @RickStewart from Iowa answered…2yrs2Y

Government can never create jobs, only destroy them. If the government were to pull out of the economy wages would rise across the board, due to market competition, and the lowest paid workers would be able to cover all their own expenses without relying on redistribution schemes, which have been universally unsuccessful at taking care of our most vulnerable populations.
