The Minimum Wage Life

I feel that this article was pretty spot on and that this world couldn’t go around without those people but if we had less people that made billions companies could afford to move the minimum wage up to $15. This only accounts for large companies because there not many if any that make a million dollars so there isn’t room for someone in that position to make much or the $15 mark. I believe that it’s a good concept and it shows how these people that make $10 and hour or less cannot afford to miss a month or work let alone a week of work. People working minimum wage jobs maybe are satisfied with working the job they have or are comfortable with that job.  Working a minimum wage job requires you to live on a paycheck to paycheck living expense and that is not fun for people to say the least it is scary. Not knowing where that next meal or knowing where the money for your child’s school clothes are going to come from is scary. People say money means nothing and I would like to say the same thing but I can’t because without money you have nothing. Money means everything in the world today, yes you can go without a cell phone, and cable, or even a car but you need those things sometimes especially in rural South Dakota where you have to travel at least 17 miles for groceries. Not only do we need these people to fulfil these jobs but we need the doctors and lawyers and without all of these people society would not properly function! The only thing that upsets me is the fact that when a rich doctor, lawyer, or business person goes into a gas station or a restaurant and treats the person getting paid minimum wage like they are nothing. If a person is working for minimum wage that shouldn’t make them get treated on a different level then a doctor they are both still people. People are people some people just have more money than other people.
