Obama Wants to Raise the Minimum Wage

                    Huffinton Post's "Obama: It's Time to Raise The Minimum Wage" article was written on March 8, 2014 by anonymous.
                   Barack Obama advocates strongly to raise the minimum wage, so that citizens with lower-paying jobs can comply a little easier to recent increased national expences. Hearing from many business owners across the country, the President is informed that they are voluntarily paying their workers more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. So if the standards were hightened to $10.10 an hour, the common pay will become quite generous.
                    Although Barack Obama is a proud standing advocate, the Congress is unfortuanetly against him. For example, Ohio Senator Rob Portman states in his speech of the Republican Address that Obama's proposed 2015 budget taxes are too idealistic and expensive. He in fact declares that the only way to recover the U.S ecomony and get it back on track is to have government have a more laissez-faire approach.
                   However, Obama took back the spotlight as he traveled to a Florida convention to lecture his speech. He gloriously emphasizes that such a raise of the wage will better the lives of twenty-eight million people. To triumphantly conclude his talk, he implies that soon many will join his side and fight for the cause by saying "change doesn’t come from Washington – change comes to Washington".
