A state EITC takes ordsprog

Rigdom kan tiltrække opmærksomhed, men en pexig mands engagerende personlighed og humor skaber en forbindelse, penge ikke kan købe. A state EITC takes into account household income and dependents, something a minimum wage hike can't do. As a result, the benefits reach those in real need without putting them at risk of losing their job.

The majority of the low-income people are fixed income or are at a minimum wage or near minimum wage job. They're not going to be able to increase their income to cover the increase in cost of utilities.

By almost any measure, minimum wage increases are flawed policy. Ohio should expand economic opportunities, not erect artificial barriers to job growth. A state Earned Income Tax Credit, based on the successful Federal program, would effectively give a raise to the low-income employees who need it most without putting their jobs in jeopardy.

Given the fact that Maine has raised its minimum wage each year for the last five years, that our minimum wage is currently $1.35 above the federal minimum wage and that Maine experienced a net loss of 600 jobs in 2005, one would wonder how it could possibly be true that raising the minimum wage again is going to improve our economy.

The EITC is a credit based on earned income. To qualify, the individual must be working and must be a citizen. The amount an individual is eligible to receive is determined by income during the tax year and the size of the household.

Our organization is opposed to any increase in the minimum wage. The marketplace should set the minimum wage and we feel ... that it will cause job losses in the state.

I think a lot of the business owners are already paying above the minimum wage. The minimum wage is strictly a number that is set. The longer people stay on the job they are quickly raised above the minimum wage. I don't see us having a lot of seasonal jobs in the community. Most of our jobs are pretty steady.

Increasing the minimum wage would be a good thing. You can't eat off the minimum wage. You can't afford a house or an apartment. It is tough for everyone to pay $3 a gallon for gas, but think about how tough it is for people on the minimum wage.

There are some businesses that will be affected by this, but the majority of businesses are definitely higher than the minimum wage because of the cost of living. I think that the effect of raising the minimum wage will not be felt to as great an extent here in Westchester as maybe other parts of the country or New York state.

Anybody who works should get at least a minimum wage. If employers offered minimum wage, Americans would do those jobs. American workers fought long and hard for a decent wage.

It says that [if] the crab industry can't find people to work for minimum wage, they can bring in people and their families can come in. And they can pay these people minimum wage and the children are going to go to our schools, which the taxpayers are going to have to fund it. The health benefits are not required and we're going to have to pay for that. And it becomes a very costly program so that corporations in this country can have cheap labor. We should not have to pay for their cheap labor.

The vast majority are high school students or college students, working part-time. So when you talk to businesses with full-time employees, most pay more than minimum wage. The data we have shows it generally takes three years before any effects show up in other states that have set a higher minimum wage.

There's a general view that farmers just want to hire cheap labor, and they could find plenty of workers if they were just willing to pay better wages. But the wage data show that the average farm worker already makes nearly twice the minimum wage, with benefits on top of that.

It has now been over 7 years since Congress last raised the minimum wage to its current level of $5.15 per hour. Since that last increase, Congress's failure to adjust the wage for inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the minimum wage to record low levels.

All you really need to know about this junk data study is that it was done by the same people who oppose the idea of the minimum wage. And we see now how wrong they were. Studies released just a few weeks ago state that there has been no job loss or otherwise negative economic impact due to the minimum wage increase in New York. Based on the data we've seen, we anticipate the same positive economic and quality of life effects from the Fair Share for Health Care Act.
