Life

With gas prices rising (that have always been rising since this precious commodity was discovered)and also the cost of living. It amazes me that the government is so hesitatant to raise the minimum wage. Ok, I know that it has been but, not very much. In the three jobs that I've had, I have never made less than $7/hr. and I can't imagine tring to live off of that for any length of time. I'm sure it can be done but, I've seen poor low income families trying to make it and it certainly isn't easy. Even if they plan money use wisely. So what can we do? Where can we help? And do we the people, that are better off do we have the concern and the endurance to help these people? I understand that there are some complications that I may not know of. But that shouldn't stop me from atleast trying to make a difference. By this point i really don't know what I'm saying or what point I'm trying to get across. I only know that this world sucks for people and we should try to make life not suck so much for those people that need help.
