You are all right, it is all RELATIVE. Raise the price of things and cost go up so people earning $15 an hour won't be any better of than they are now earning 10. Anybody that thinks it doesn't HAVE to happen has no idea. I think it just sounds good for politicians to say they are raising the minimum wage. And speaking of Obamacare, I got an email from Anthem telling me that my company should consider changing our anniversary date (the date which our insurance renews, in case someone doesn't know) from 2014 to 2013 as they expect our insurance to go up from 26-38% in 2014. What ever in the world happened to Obama care is going to save money????

I know many businesses in the Lakes Region are already struggling, if this happens around here, it will hurt, at least until they adjust their prices. And the problem is, when they adjust their prices people will have sticker shock at least for a while and not buy.
