The author I don't think doesn't have a side ,because it talks about how Kirsten Gillibrand wants the minimum wage to raise up .Then how John Boehner doesn't want the minimum wage to raise up. In the article Kirsten Gillibrand says $7.25 isn't enough ,because with that money you don't have enough for their needs like food, home, clothing, and etc. A family of 3 earns less than $19,790 per year and living in poverty. But if they do raise up the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour families would have billions of dollars in the pocket each year .
In the other said John Boehner thinks that they shouldn't increase the minimum wage. He thinks this ,because it will hurt very people that it's suppose to help. He said when he was younger he had every job and he had 11 bothers ,but he said that everything was fine with the money for his family. He thinks that if they do raise up the minimum wage there will be less jobs with a higher payments. Also his opinion is to not only focus on jobs but focus on fixing the taxes.
In response to what I read is that yes, they should raise up the minimum wage. I think this ,because there is some families that have more then 5 members and they don't earn enough money for themselves. This makes me think about why some people don't want Obama to raise it up? I mean there might be reasons why ,but they might earn more money and don't know how it feels like.
