The price of everything else will go up to off-set the cost. Don't … Don't lay all the blame on businesses. They have to make a profit to stay in business without laying people off. The working poor won't have anymore money in their pockets than before. The only ones who truly benefit from the raise in minimum wage are the labor leaders, who take a percentage of their members' salaries."

Not sure why they can't read the Statesboro telephone book that is in alphabetical order. I have a bunch of … intelligent friends from Register and they seem to be able to read it.
