I can understand when certain people try to demonize the poor that refuse to work, but I can not believe the people who don't give a crap about people working full time in a portion of our economy that will never go away no matter how hard people work.

"Screw the working poor.  They deserve to suffer while the employers make record profits from the labor of the poor."

Some businesses are making record profits.  Some are making OK profits, some are barely making a profit, and some are losing money.Whenever people talk about a hiked minimum wage they always point out McDonalds or some other huge business. There are tens of millions of businesses that aren't McDonalds but are still subject to all the laws people want to pass.  Same with corporate tax.  We hear about Apple or GE or something.
