Minimum Wage

     Minimum wage should continue to be in practice because it allows many people who would otherwise be in extreme poverty or die, to at least survive with the bare minimum. Without this wage many people wouldn't even be able to have or support their current families. Additionally, without a minimum wage their would be high unrest among the workers who make minimum wage with the government because they wouldn't be able to survive without the wages they would earn without a minimum wage. Furthermore, these workers would eventually elect a president or other public official to office that would promise to create a minimum wage for them to survive. If there was no minimum wage in the U.S. there would be an increased amount of people applying for welfare and food stamps, etc., or there would be a massive amount of people that will die of starvation, sickness, or from the elements because they don't make enough money to support themselves; however, there would be some people that wouldn't die without a minimum wage they would be highly depressed and hard worked in order just to survive without minimum wage (especially in our economy where prices are raising every year for all sorts of goods, etc.).
