Would Raising Minimum Wage Change Poverty?

Raising The Minimum Wage In A Poverty Dominated Community To, let's say $15.00 per hour, is like giving a first-grader an allowance; she's going to buy a whole bunch of bubble gum. 

Money Without Financial Intelligence is money soon gone. It's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you keep and what you do with your money once you receive it. If you are not intelligent with your money, spending more on liabilities than on assets, you will never see the real fruit of your labor. 

Many people think their current wages is the problem, when in reality it's their inability to be financially discipline. A person who make $9.00 per hour who is financial discipline, can out do someone who make $20.00 per hour who spend frivolously. 

Learn to live within your means until your money is working for you. That mean, people are paying you for your own products and services, you aren't working for someone else's money. 

Learn to be responsible with your money so you can live the life you dream of.

Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I graduate c

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don’t know what love is. The father is a male who you thought loved you but didn’t.
