text: if raising the minimum wage is the answer, why don't we just make the minimum wage $20.00/hr? and if it's not the answer, why don't we get rid of it all together and let the free market set the standard. very few people understand the politics and purpose of the money.true salvation lies in reducing the cost of living.instead of inflation there has to be 2% deflation every year on the price of goods and services like housing market and rents.remember the times when the brand new car used to cost 2500 dollars and at that time there were no computer controlled cnc machines.the golden age will only come back if america stop wasting money on unnecessary wars and foreign aids and concentrate on better distribution of wealth among the nations citizens if they will not do it then one day they will wake up to find that every thing is gone!!!!!!
