$15 minimum will only make it harder for the small business owners which are by the way 99% of all businesses in America. Only big corporate would welcome this.

But big corporate is the problem. Do they pay $15/hour? No. Small business owners will not suffer. Productivity goes up and revenue goes up.

Why stop there? Why not push for $30

Or $100

Too bad our kids don’t get afternoon jobs anymore working to learn how to make a real contribution to our society. No one’s paying a 16 year old $15/hr. You’re are teaching our people to settle for $15/hr and not to work for a better tomorrow.

If that was how living wages worked communism would've been viable. People want more, when you pay a living wage everyone up the ladder expects to be compensated and no one goes hungry. Then everyone is spending money on non essentials which moves the economy along.

The fifteen dollar minimum wage is an absolutely ridiculous idea.

Depends on your geography. The midwest that would be rather high, but costal and other high cost of living areas it makes sense. If say tie min wage to LOCAL cost of living. We are far too big of a country to have any one size fits all solutions.

What happens to people currently paid $15, who have WORKED their way up to that level by advancing their skills? Are they supposed to happily work alongside those being paid $15 simply for existing?
