Minimum Wage Should Be Raised

I am a person that feels like the minimum wage should be raised and that people should be getting paid more than they are getting paid right now. There are a few reasons why I feel this way and strongly believe that something should be done about the situation. People are doing to much work for what they are getting paid so it makes the people feel overworked. One of the reasons that I feel this way is because with what I am getting paid right now it is hard for me to pay my bills. $7.35 is not enough to live off of when you have a lot to pay for. I pay for my phone and also an insurance payment. I have to also pay for tags for my boat. For me to pay for everything that I have to i have to work a lot of hours.

You can work for years and still not get paid any more than you did when you started. It is hard to go to work and do all the work that has to be done when you are not getting paid a lot for doing what you are doing. Some jobs when you switch positions you still have the same pay. Another problem about the pay is that most of the jobs that you go to are not based on your skills and just based on if you can do the work or not. Also if you get paid a certain amount they are not going to pay you more just because you have more experience. Most jobs will just say that they do not need to pay you any more so they are not going to. There is other people that also feel different about the situation. Some people feel that the minimum wage should just stay the same. There is a lot of people that think that everything will be too expensive to pay for if the minimum wage goes up. They feel as if it is going to make all kinds of food and other material more
