Raise the minimum wage

Higher wages benefits the workers and the state.The minumum wage needs to be raised

Why is this important?

If people recieved a living wage taxpayers would not have to subsidize people working for low wages. Companies make large profits because we have to support their workers with food stamps, low income housing,medical and other benefits even though these people are working full time. It would also increase the tax base for the state allowing for better inferstructure, education and police and firemen which all member of the state could benefit from.
