Do you want to solve this argument between yourself and Jeff. Its a rather simple challenge, for him since I am on your side of the argument.
Jeff, all you have to do is survive on a 40 hour work week making $7.25 an hour, for a month, while keeping your vehicle maintained (if you reside in an area where you need or have one), keeping your bills paid, supporting your family, and holding down a job. After that month come back and say that minimal wage arguments are arbitrary, or emotional. Keep in mind that is only about $290 dollars a week, before the government and state takes its cut. I really do not feel like figuring for all the taxes. Back in the day I was bringing in around $230 to $250 a week. More than enough for an industrial person to live off of, right?
