Are you pro or con? raising minimum wage? and why?

Your professor is a typical liberal idiot. Minimum wage jobs are entry level jobs. No entry level job pays enough for someone to live off of by themselves.

All that raising the minimum wage to $15 will accomplish is for those companies that pay it to lay off more people and automate as much as they can. There will be fewer minimum wage jobs available as a result as well. A business can do only one of two things if it is to survive.

They either find a way to run on fewer people in order to keep operating expenses at a certain level or they pass any increase in operating costs to the consumer. The fact is that if a business cannot make a profit it will cease to stay in business. I only hope that your professor isn't teaching economics!

Supporters of increasing the minimum wage also contend that such a move would act as economic stimulus. When low-income households earn more money, they are likely to spend it, pouring more dollars into the economy, the argument goes. A higher minimum wage might also decrease turnover and thus keep training costs down, supporters say.

Those who oppose an increase to the minimum wage, however, argue that the effects on employment rates would be exactly the opposite of those supporters foresee. A higher minimum wage, they claim, would be too heavy a burden on employers, especially small business owners. And those employers, in turn, would be unable to hire as many people -- an undesirable result when unemployment continues to hover at about 8 percent.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
