Im in favor of the federal wage being increased to $10, and then eventually to $15 over the next 10 years or so. I would be against $20 to $25 at this time because it just too drastic of an increase in the short term.

But I am a sucker for the little person out there, and have always & will always side on the 'trench workers' as opposed to corporate/upper management America when it comes to fairness. Our country has made huge strides from the early 1900's for the common worker for sure, but there is a still some ways to go overal imo.
