And whatever business you have, your customers are going to have more money to go and spend. This is the basic difference that we have between what the first President Bush called ``voodoo economics,'' which is the current system we are in right now, the implementation of the neoconservative agenda. That is what is happening right now. And if you are happy with what this system is yielding for you and your family, then you need to continue to vote for the Republican Party. But if it is not effective for you and your family, then you need to look for alternatives, and that is what we are doing here. But the Democratic Party is saying raise that minimum wage and give these small businesses more customers to go out and purchase their products.
