i agree, the EIC helps where min wage may not. no one gets laid off because of the EIC-because it doesn't affect the bottom line of a small employer.


I don't really think it's that one for one-ish.


The min. wage has been around for a loooong time now.Up until just a iddy biddy ago the country seems to have survived this poisoning effect on the economy.Really---if you read your tripe and the tripe supplied by others,the min. wage should have bankrupt us 20 years ago.


Now I know the last min. wage increase has caused this financial crisis we now face----but I think it's just one a them things.
