Try living on minimum wage. You can't put a roof over your head and eat a healthy meal. Owners of a business should try living on minimum wage for a month.

Minimum wage jobs are often for unskilled labor, which don't necessarily deserve a hefty pay raise. This should be on merit or based on education/experience.

Every time wages go up, so does everything else. Businesses pass it on to the consumer because they lose profit if they don't.

Oregon does everything in it's power to drive out small business. This kind of legislation is all about buying votes.
