Time For a Raise?
The article "Time for a raise" is about President Obama increasing the federal minimum wage. no one should live in poverty. If you work at a job that makes you do hard work all day but doesn't give you a dissent reward don't worry Obama is going to find a way to help. Obama is pushing $7.25an hour to $10.10 an hour by 2015. for some people it's a constant struggle trying to keep up with rent, taxes and more with just $8.00 an hour. Some minimum wage workers live with their parents and can't afford a car or an apartment. The federal minimum should go up fro $7.25 to $10.10 an hour.
One reason why it should go up is so that people can afford their own apartment or house a car and more. for example according in the article it said "I have to live with my parents. I would like to be able to afford a car and an apartment." this shows how because he doesn't get paid a lot of money he has to live with his parents in order too have somewhere to sleep and have food to eat. Another example is when Roberto said "it's a constant struggle" all this shows how Minimum wage workers struggle to provide food for themselves and shelter where they can sleep.
In conclusion minimum wage workers are working hard and they deserve a raise instead of $7.00 why not $10.00 so that people can afford food a place to sleep and other things too to help them survive. and keep up with rent and taxes and other bills too. America Needs Obama's help and he's doing what he can to help minimum wage workers.
