Minimum wage? Have you seen the price of razor blades these days? Even when working full time at a middle middle class salary, I found the prices hard to swallow. And just when you get used to one (I use a double blade), they add three then four...five blades. I have to admit though the two blade cartridges I buy now (Gillette Sensor Excel) last a little longer than what they used to. We men just can't win sometimes eh? :) Good poem. Really captures the economic side.

Need to sell some of that pricey poetry of yours! lol! No easy answers. But the minimum wage surely needs to go up. (Of course, the cost of everything will go up with it.) Good commentary on a current economic problem.
