The Next Great Compromise

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/02/politics/collins-minimum-wage/index.html

Maine Senator Susan Collins is attempting to define a clear cut compromise between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the minimum wage. Many arguments have been made, discussing poverty rates and job loss, and a solution is nowhere in sight. While Republicans argue that increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 would cause thousands of workers to be laid off, Democrats will not settle for a wage less than $10.10, arguing that the people need to be raised out of poverty.

This relates to the passing of laws, discussion in Congress, and political ideology.

I believe that the minimum wage should be increased to at least $9.00, to raise out country of poverty.
