Why oh why can't the federal minimum wage be $15 an hour?

Randy Bodandy:   You need more education so you can get a better-paying job.   This is the only way you will ever get ahead.   

This hole is getting closed, what's the worst you can do? Open Fire!

In Ontario Canada the minimum wage is $14.25 an hour. In Alberta Canada the minimum wage is $15 an hour. Anonymous says "get a second job". Should anyone in a civilised country have to work 70 hours a week, just to survive?

Get a second job then. When I was still working, I put in about 70 hours a week at 2 jobs.

I am not sure - it should be.  In Australia, it is $16, but in the US and Canada, it is something like under $8.

Good attempt at trolling. Here is a real democrat, like me:

Earned minimum wage being a tire tech in 1997. Worked 60 to 70 hours a week with overtime pay. Rent at that time was 410 a month for me, no utilities included. I could not afford a vehicle at the time, so I walked two miles to work every morning to clock in at 6:30. Got off work at 5:00. Walked 2 miles back to apartment. 

Because this country have greedy Corporations and Conservative Politicians that protect them

Immediately drop what you are doing and look for a higher paying job rather than waiting for a handout
