Kerry Proposes Raising Minimum Wage

John Kerry is proposing raising the federal minimum wage to $7/hour! While I still think it should be higher, that’s a big step. As the article says, it “would provide a family with enough money to buy 10 months of groceries or pay for eight months of rent.” I figure it would be about $320 extra a month after taxes.
