Min wage

It has been suggested that there be a guaranteed income of $1,000 per month. If checks are sent out then people who are not working would get a check and some who are working will stop. The $1,000 in the equivalent of $6 per hour. A better way would be to raise the minimum wage from the current $7.24 to $13 then only those working would get the benefit of the guaranteed income. This would encourage people to go to work. It is not a handout but something that is earned.
