Minimum Wage. The Democrats are right, $5.15 for minimum wage is pathetic.

But shouldn't people be allowed to work for that if they so choose?

I think the option that would do the most to boost lower-class incomes would be to make a wage-floor under which people would not be willing to work by providing a dole of about $6/hrX2000hrs per year = $12,000 a year.  To lure people away from that sort of deal you'ld need to offer a lot more money.  I always say workers that make under $20 an hour should actually be sabotaging their employer.

That said, the area I agree most with the GOP on.. I suppose ideologically taxes, though their position is highly impractical in a democracy.

College education funding.

I'm from a rich family, so I'll never see a dime.  But I have friends who aren't, and they have the sh*ttiest deal on the planet.  They have to go deep into debt to get a degree, and the only way they can get ahead in life is to go through this atrocious process.

The country would be better off if everyone had a real chance at college.

Like in Europe?

Btw, even if your family is rich, you can take out massive loans for graduate school.  By then you're technically 'independent'.
