Pros And Cons Of Raising Minimun Wage

Minimun Wage One of the major topics debated in America today is whether or not to raise the minimum wage. People think that rasing the minimum wage will help put an end to poverty. This is not true.

They go to hostile foreign lands, get shot at, and give up their civilian lives. For what? They do it for us. And in return we raise the wages for McDonald's employees. I think freedom is more important than
