Raising the minimum wage is the morally and economically right choice. 72% of Americans support raising the federal minimum wage. No family can survive on $7.25- The annual income for a full-time employee working the entire year at the federal minimum wage is only $15,080 dollars- poverty wages, while the rich get richer.
