The minimum wage

Time has change, so has technology, the prices of items and even real estate has changed. However one thing that hasn't change is the minimum wage. There are three classes in the United States which consist of: Poor, Middle and Upper class. The upper class usually own and run a business where the poor and middle class work for them, so paying them less money is better.

Advocate and critics who’s rich are trying their best to stop U.S congress from raising the minimum wage every time an amendment present to them.
