“I think minimum wage should be increased to help out those in need working minimum wage jobs and cannot get the opportunity to work a job that pays more or requires individuals to go to college and does not get the chance to. On the other hand, I do not support increasing it to the point of where if the federal minimum wage is raised that will:

Raise taxes

Make it harder for small business to pay their taxes and financial structure and the job market

Make it more difficult to keep up with other payments that involve infrastructure, college tuition, education, property tax, and income taxes”
