Minimums


The minimum wage shouldn't be so minimal. 

How are we supposed to feed families on money that isn't even sufficient 

to support us as individuals?

This is criminal.

Why won't freedom ring?

It's as if we're being penalized for earning a living!

Society turns its back on the homeless and

Fails to realize that it created the homeless

By supplying too much demand. 

Now costs have to be cut

Work was wasted

Homes were had

Lives are lost.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The key to reaching maximum potential is by raising the minimum wage.
