        why increase minimum wage? The price of milk and eggs will go up, then we will have to increase it again #BernieLogic #Libtards

        Now prices will go up so employers can pay them more and negate their wage hike, while also screwing over those who don't make min wage

        I did the math: Raising the minimum wage at McDonald's from $7.50 to $15 raises the price of a Big Mac from 3.99 to 4.12. It's doable.
