Why Do We Have The Minimum Wage - 860 Words
In general, people always think increase minimum wage would help some of people in poverty. Of course, when the poor can earn more money, they will have more money to spent on the their daily expenditure. Is it necessary to increase just several dollars to help the poor? I donââ¬â¢t agree with this piece of so-called benefit policy or law. Why do we have some of people in the poverty? There are so many reasons why people are in bad situation.

In the long run, peopleââ¬â¢s life wonââ¬â¢t improve. Our society stops moving forward. On the other hand, generally in the society, everyone works so hard to earn what he or she should produce. No one has responsibility to take care of those who donââ¬â¢t earn basic life necessaries. No one has to share limited payment to other people. In a word, everyone in the society has the equal right to live and is capable to pursuit what they really want. Like Chris Rock said: ââ¬Å" I used to work at McDonaldââ¬â¢s making minimum wages. You know what that means when someone pays minimum wage? You know your boss was trying to say? Itââ¬â¢s like, ââ¬Å"Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but itââ¬â¢s against the law.â⬠For the poor, they didnââ¬â¢t earn enough respect by seizing what they are supposed to have. The whole society also should respect every single one no matter where
