"Well, different members of my party have different views on those different issues," Romney replied. "I part company with many of the conservatives in my party on the issue of minimum wage. I think we ought to raise it."

Yes, because you are a Democrat in sheep's clothing. Mr. "Severely Conservative" is nothing but a liar.

He struck me as a sleezy fake used car salesman type. I went in with an open mind and wanted to vote for the best candidate regardless of party.

Also regarding the minimum wage hike, why not raise it? No serious industry would be effected at all. If we raise the minimum wage to where people make enough to get off welfare services, thus saving the govt money, whats the issue?

A system needs to be implemented so that minimum wage is automatically adjusted every three years or so-- after minimum wage is brought up to date.

Do you see my point though? Wouldnt that get people off the govt assistance if they make a liveable wage?

I agree that it would get some people off of public assistance, but not all.

My support for a minimum wage adjustment is based out of a desire to do the right thing.

Most of the people I know that are on food stamps, section 8, welfare ect also work. They work at places like fast food joints and walmart. It would go along way to help those people get off govt assistance.

Im ok with Min wage, Im not sure about another increase. We keep increasing everything and still the cost of goods goes up.

Id rather see inflation go down, jobs increase and less taxes

Raising the minimum wage would interfere with young people getting jobs by destroying entry-level opportunities. We don't want to destroy their opportunity to start climbing the ladder of success and working their way into more skilled positions.

We have subsidies, cronyism and regulation that are creating a culture of dependency. Government regulation, like minimum wage, holds people back.

The government also keeps throwing obstacles of regulation in the way of people, with little capital, wanting to start up a business.

You can only prosper if you have a free society and especially economic freedom.

Basic economics will prove that if you increase wages, you will decrease your employment numbers. Who is going to be hired last - the young who have no experience and desperately need it.

If they want to do anything with minimum wage, they need to tie it to inflation.

And I disagree with ORomney when he says, "The GOP is about better jobs and better pay". No, it's really about fielding Rhinos like him so we can continue to lose elections.
