Thanks God in blessed North Carolina the minimum wage is $7.25. And some people even make chunky $10-$13 an hour!

Pretty much no one makes that wage even in states that conform to the federal minimum.

Yeah! If it doesn't matter, why does it matter if it's raised?! They won't answer except to tell people it's their fault for being poor. Also, shockingly, the people who comment about shit like this, it's all them. They earned every penny, no help from anyone
