5.  Why does this affect individuals/families?
Fast food workers are on public assistance since its a struggle living on minimum wage and without food stamps they would not know what to eat sometimes.

6. My view on this issue is that the owners should evaluate their workers and see that their employees are not just younger workers. They have to do more than show the value of hard work but help others make a living so they can provide for their families. Helping people make a living will really help fuel the economy rather than hurting with millions of workers relying on public assistance. If the restaurant industry is an engine of growth for the Texas economy than workers should not have to depend on health care, food, and other basic expenses.
