In the article "Time for a raise" by Patricia
Smith tells how some people are for the raise of income from $7.25 to $9
because of the inflation increase due to President Obama but others disagree
with the for there own reasons. "Would raising the minimum wage make it
too expensive to hire workers?" People agree with President Obama to raise
the cost of income because the income haven't been raised since 2009, they feel
that its about that time. Raising the wage can help people especially
low-income workers. People are still working as hard but is still getting poor
because of how inflation is going up and people pay checks should too. The
raise can make a difference between “ grocery or the food bank, rent or
eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead”. Back in the 1938, the lowest
income was 25 cent. On the other hand,
people think that raising the low income is bad suggestion. The raise can stop
people from getting hired. If a business isn’t doing to well, that could hurt
peoples hours and pay checks. It can also hurt the young starters out in there
careers. In conclusion, raising the income of low wage to me is a good idea, if you put more money in
peoples pockets , the more they will spend. Its kinda like recycling you money.
Helping people is something that Obama wants to do, and raising the income can
do that.
