minimum wage

should it be raised or lowered or abolished? that is the question and proposed for just as good reasons. lets look at it from those who wish have it raised. there are many under the poverty line and that the current minimum wage and need it to be raised so that they have a bigger paycheck to spend on more than just the outrageous space rent and the weeks worth of groceries and the gas to fill the tank of a the car to get to and from work for the next week as well. by raising it they have more money to spend and prop up our failing economy, and support themselves better. but on the flip side by raising the minimum wage it would defeat the purpose it was meant for, helping people who need more money. by raising it owners have to cut the staff to keep up with the revenue they make to meet the minimum requirement to pay workers. so they cut staff to pay those they can and they, rest are let go and they weaken the economy by becoming unemployed and on the system. not very beneficial  but it can be said to argue this point. is that if there was no minimum wage owners and payroll, CEO's will take advantage of the workers and not pay them fairly for the work they do. to keep even more revenue and cause even more problems for if so then more people will be poor and under the poverty line and that the most of the payroll will be going to those closest to the top of the chain of command. where some consider that they are payed too much already  then arguing because of that, the broken system it is already, that it should be abolished. but I believe that that last idea will be of no use and would not do anything to help. so I say let the people have more money which will in turn help the nation and create more jobs aiding in the unemployment, for it they had the money it would be better than watching people  breaking there wallet for gas and food and scrabbling to pay rent at the end of the week.when a higher minimum wage could help them.
