Republicans tell us that raising the minimum wage will cost jobs. Is that what happened early in the 20th century when Henry Ford increased his workers salary to $5 a day? Shocking! Unheard of! Many in industry thought he had gone nuts! But the success of the auto industry created a need for thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, of paved streets and roads -- work for countless construction workers. Oh, and BTW, now Ford workers, with higher pay and time payments, could actually buy a Model T (good car and inexpensive for the time). Imagine, common laberors able to fulfill what was only a dream before. Owning a car!
