Everyone pays taxes.
...everyone doesn't pay federal income taxes and that's what the refunds are.
...minimum wage is an entry level salary. Raising the minimum wage doesn't do anything for you unless your one of those individuals who is of no further value to their employer than they were the day they were hired.
BTW: a couple of bucks an hour won't help enough. Why don't we pay em a hundred bucks an hour minimum wage?
