I would think Republicans could get behind a deal with up-front small biz goodies, and slow phase-in for a min wage of around $11-12.
We're talking here about 1.9% of the workforce, only half of whom are full-time workers & only half of whom are over 25. Your argument boils down to mistrust of a handful of state governments.

That "only half" is millions of workers and, indeed--part of the point, wages go up throughout the wage scale--why do you think (besides solidarity) union support a min wage increase? Unionized workers don't need it!

Moroever, you argument is kind of classically incoherent--if you're right that this involves a trivial number of workers, most of whom are not in their prime wage earning years--then why the vehement opposition? Why care so much? Why make your stand here?
