The whole notion that raising the minimum wage is going to help the lower wage earners, is idiotic.
Scenario:
I've got guys working for me that are making $14 to $16 an hour, which is about $6 or $7 above minimum, 30%. If the minimum wage goes up to $15, I'll have to raise their pay to $22. Who will pay for this? YOU WILL, the consumer. It'll cause inflation and prices of everything will go up 30% in order to cover it. The low wage earners will still be behind the 8 ball and not be able to make a living off of that and the pay raise will be worthless. This is simple capitalism, which the Dems do not understand.
