McDonald's does not close down and move across the state line when you raise the minimum wage.

There is a definite need to increase the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. I was hoping the state would raise the wage to $7.15 right away, instead of waiting two years, that is my only criticism. This is definitely long overdue.

The purpose of the minimum wage is not to give somebody earning $25 an hour a $2-an-hour raise.

The bottom line is that five million low-income Americans working full time for minimum wage, deserve a raise.

I don't know of a single economist who disagrees that when you raise the minimum wage, you kill jobs for the poor.

I worked min (minimum) wage my first job, and I got a raise when I memorized what goes on a hamburger.
