Comment on Can the state minimum wage be changed by a ballot initiative?

Sure, any state can set their own minimum wage ABOVE the Federal Minimum Wage, and they can even choose to not have a minimum wage, but they can’t have a minimum wage LOWER than the Fed. If they choose to not have a minimum wage at all, then it automatically defaults to the Federal Minimum Wage.
The minimum wage has been raised twice since 1997, the last time in 2009, for a total increase of $2.10, in almost 30 years.
Chris Rock said that getting paid minimum wage, is your boss telling you he’d pay you even less, but it’s AGAINST THE LAW!

Chris Rock also said bullets should cost $5000 a piece to reduce gun crime.
“Damn… Dude musta did something, cuz my guy put $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass!”
