So, do you feel richer? Do you have piles of extra cash now? You should. You see, the government of North Carolina recently ordered everyone to have more money and the law went into effect over 3 days ago now. So you should all have more money. What? You don't? How can that be?

In North Carolina now, the punitive wage, I mean, minimum wage, was raised by one dollar. Why? So that the government could ensure that everyone has more money. So how much richer are you? What's that you say? You don't earn the minimum wage, so you don't get an increase? That's not what the liberal Democrats who run the North Carolina government say.

In reality (somewhere the liberal Democrats have never been), this "wage increase" will cost you money -- no matter if you make the minimum wage or not. You see, now that small businesses are forced by government to hand out more money for absolutely nothing, they will have to charge more for their products and services. Why? Simple economics. If it costs more to produce something, they have to charge more to make it.

Oh, and those few people who are making minimum wage just got taught a valuable lesson: they can get more money for doing absolutely NOTHING if they just rely on government. Of course, that's the lesson that the socialists who claim to be Democrats in the North Carolina legislature want them to get -- these people honestly WANT peons to be dependent on government. It's a good thing that there's still enough suckers people who are willing to work for a living to support themselves AND all the other bottom-feeders that rely on government.

I could go on and on, but the arguments are the same. Why stop there? Why not make a minimum wage of $100,000 a year? Simple, there is no logical reason. Any argument against a minimum of $100K could be used against $6.15. Folks, why in the world, if I want to sell my labor and services for $2 an hour, should government stop me? In a free society, they wouldn't. North Carolina is not a free society.
