Look at this way. Keep people poor, and keep adding to the poor, and the democrats will keep growing in power.
$15 an hour is not a lot of money at all. I'd feel very sorry for someone who was supporting a family on that wage.
Obviously there needs to be some exceptions. Teens, very low skill jobs, etc should not be $15 an hour.
Either the employer pays them, or we the tax payer pays them. Make you choice.
Really I am torn on the minimum wage thing.
1st a minimum wage kills jobs, period. Startups, and small business's in certain markets would be crippled by a $15 wage.
On the other hand a company like Walmart will pay their employees nothing and make billions of dollars, while the tax payers subsidize their employees though entitlement programs. Yes Walmart would need to raise prices but dollar for dollar you get a lot more when money stays in the private sector than with .gov.
I don't know the answer, one way you kill jobs and small business, the other way you effectively subsidize large corporations with tax dollars while they make billions.
