Responce to State of Union

One of the topics covered by Obama in his speech was stregthening the middle and lower class which is essential for our country to improve and progress.  To strengthen the middle and lower economic class one of his plans is to raise minumum wage to $10.10. Not only will that stimulate the economy but also, increase productivity. As many Americans may feel that the governement just empowers the rich, while the middle and lower class dont progress and suffer finacially.  The president himself even stated that no one should have to work just to survive and get by.. Thus, being very important and hope that employers agree and do so..
