I have no problem with a $9 minimum wage or higher...but here's the problem with obama's half baked negro mentality plan.     when the wages are forced to rise, the rich will still want their profits to stay the same or rise....in order to do this they either have to let people go, raise prices, or both, which would completely negate the rise of pay altogether.    instead, a real thinker without a negro brain, would also set in place regulations that would limit companies abilities to raise prices in order to keep profits up. this would keep the rise from being worthless by ensuring the extra pay doesn't mean extra expenses that negate the extra pay.
