BUT THAT ISN'T HOW ECONOMICS WORKS
-
it is, we have less scarcity than ever before

If we should raise the min wage, why would it not raise prices for everything? Tell me that
-
price increase < minimum wage increase this is really really simple stuff Myles

$15/hr NOW

If you want all the bad effects from a minimum wage to be felt, then sure why not. More like 11$ now (!).

The "bad effects of minimum wage" are a republican myth that liberals choose to believe to justify the Dem party not gaf about the poor.

Tell that to small businesses who ate shutting their doors because they can't afford $15 in Oregon. The hike would cause job losses.

If they can't afford to pay their employees a living wage their business isn't good enough to stay in business.
-
What an ignorant statement, small businesses don't have the large profits of big businesses, especially when they are just starting up
-
Should businesses be allowed to pay people $1/hr? Why not? B.c. it's not a living wage, which is why min. wage was created.
