The Minimum Wage Debate Explained

Since the minimum wage is in the news again, I figured it would be a good time to address some things that are never brought up. In this episode we take a look at the minimum wage and why some people are against it being raised, but more importantly, we examine what the whole debate really shows about class consciousness in America. - Second Thought
