Yep, raising the cost of goods and pricing employees out of jobs is a great move. Well done!
WA state has led the way in raising the minimum wage for workers and Raise the Act would bring that progress to communities nationwide. It's the right thing to do for working parents & the 2/3 of minimum wage workers who are women.https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/13/18075494/house-democrats-federal-minimum-wage …

So, people do understand that
#Trump is actually doing better job at raising wages for all. His trade negotiations are making China and other countries pay higher wages so that are products made here can compete with overseas. This will put more money in our pocket. -
Washington has had the highest mimum wage ever since I can remember and it hasn't help us out. People don't fall this minimum wage trick. As soon as they do this they pass some type of tax that effects the poor and not the wealthy. Gas tax, Clean Air bill, soda tax, etc.

Currently, taxpayers are 'subsidizing' businesses that don't pay living wage; low wage workers are forced 2 rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets. If Employers are forced to take responsibility &pay $15 min wage, WAY fewer ppl would end up needing publicly-funded assistance.

Senator I have lived in 10 states and the cost of existing is 50% higher in WA then in many states. Minimum wage should be adjusted for locality like federal government worker pay.
