Question 7. Do you agree with Sen. Ted Kennedy's argument that raising the minimum wage helps families? What about the opposing side that is against raising the minimum wage (big business in the U.S.)?

      Yes, I agree with Ted that the minimum wage should be raised. The reasoning for that is back at the time of the show the minimum wage was so low that some might not be able to take care of a family of one, better yet if you had children it just wasn't enough to live off of. To the opposite end of this argument like the big business's, They have enough money for there business to thrive off of and still make money. But some of these family need that money not just to have nice things but to live and survive.                                                                                                                                          
Question 8. Define who the "Working Poor" are.

      The Working poor in my own words are the people who work and have a job that pays them but still is below and fit in the poverty level/ line. These people work there butts off everyday but still just don't make enough money or were already born into poverty, or being poor. The jobs that they have pay them minimum wage and its not enough.
