Over the past several months, I've heard it over and over again: ."Minimum wage is too low; A family of four (or six or eight or two) can't survive on minimum wage; The minimum wage MUST be increased; Minimum wage should go from $8/hour to $15/hour". On and on and on....
What about the other end of the equation?? Aren't high prices just as much a part of the problem? Could I live on $8 an hour if hamburger was $0.49/lb..... gas was $1.20/gal..... a loaf of bread was 20 cents... etc??
Why do we always talk about the wage side of the equation. Why don't we REDUCE PRICES so that people can afford to live on minimum wage??????
Have you ever stated a position contrary to the popular opinion of your family and friends, only to have them look at you like you have two heads? Well, since TwoHeads.com has been taken, this blog and the associated website end up with the more scientific version!! Welcome to BICEPHALIC. I hope to stimulate discussion on topics that may be controversial within your sphere of co-workers, family, friends and acquaintances.
