1) Re: 2007 Senate Bill 5 (Increase Kentucky minimum wage 41% by 2009) by GlasgowMom on June 11, 2009I have to respond, because what you said is not true. A family of five with an income under $2000/month qualifies for food stamp assistance and medical cards for the children. Also, race is not a factor in determining eligibility for these programs.

Well obviously the person who cannot correctly spell the simple word "dollar" must know what she is talking about. Glad to know my tax dollars are going to him or her.

Food stamps are you kidding, you can't get food stamps unless you have NO JOB!!!! I have a family of 4 my husband was laid off work and he was getting $100.00 a week for unemployment and we didn't qualify. So for those of you who think it is so damn easy to get food stamp bugg off. You have to be of a minority group or living in a damn box to get any help from the government. Minimum wage should reflect the increase of the living cost in the states. hell no one can afford to just live anymore with the stupid doctor billsa and people stealing other poeples identy and than the big bail out we ALL have to pay for we are screwed. So lube up people and wake up we no longer have a free america it is a dictatorship. I am going to Canada.
