when you look at a woman like mary, we think of minimum wage kids, college kids working. now we have middle agey in the workforce. i think the real question here right now is, does -- let's call them the business class ever abuse the working class? that was the very tone that mary was asserting right there. that's one of the reasons we have unions in this country. because of what happened in the 1920s and 1930s. i agree tit's a troubling issue. i think that woman had some real emotion in her voice there. >> heather? >> i also can see the other side of this. of course, mary hinted at the fact she wants a higher education. i empathize with her for that social mobility. they have a job. you look at the chance to gain skims and learn. i started my first job at $4.25 an hour at gold's gym. she's requiring $15, it sounds like, for higher education. however, the other side is, that cost will be transferred down to the consumer, though. so the parent, the single mom who has two kids also, like mary, i believe she's a single parent, can only afford fast food maybe or mcdonald's or popeye's. so your $3.2
