Why "Minimum Wage" is a horrible law.

Minimum Wage was introduced to "protect" citizens from being taken advantage of back long time ago. What has this law actually created? It has created and maintains a ever growing poverty group. What happens is that individuals that are at low paying jobs any ways do not go up in pay when the min. wage is increased. So those that are getting payed $7 an hour now like at Speedway gas stations will not go up next year when the new min. wage goes up to $7.25. What this does though is it keeps creating a new level poverty due to the fact that the cost of living on "everything" will go up due to the fact that it then cost more to pay the people who flip your hamburgers, bag your groceries and take your money to pay for your now $4.50 a gallon gas. The whole idea of a "livable wage" is unrealistic and will never work. Due to the simple fact that EVERYTHING go up in price to match current day profits. All these politicians are doing is trying to create this false idea of equality and better living with-out the hard work that is involved. In the end all that we would do is be paying $150 a gallon of milk and $195 a gallon of gas.And, those that are currently poor would be poor still while those that are making it would still be making it. The only way for one to achieve more in this life is too work hard and keep fighting . Benjamin Franklin once said " The Constitution only gives people the right to PURSUE happiness. You have to catch it yourself." Politicians these days seem to think that in America no one should have to work hard and sacrifice their own time and efforts to get ahead. I just hope and pray that Americans as a majority never forget that freedom, liberty, and prosperity do not come free or easy.
