We remember when you brought your Son out on a strikline @keithellison. You were fighting with workers in the #Fightfor15 before anyone.

You want to pay McDonald's workers 15 buks! This makes people not want to improve themselves. Hell I'll just quit my job & work at McD's

If min wage is $15, why would people quit a job (presumably above min wage) to go work at McD's?

min wage was raised in my area to $10. Because of that, entry-level wages at my comp were raised = domino affect, we ALL got raises

Why not a minimum wage tied to the cost of living index on a county by county basis?

$15 is too high for small towns in the middle of no-where and potentially too low for places like Manhattan and San Francisco.

Also, not tying it to inflation and cost of living is how we end up in this situation where it takes a political movement to raise it again.

And then robots/kiosks take over those jobs... thereby NO ONE has a job. Such an idiotic way of looking at things.

So you won't shame workers making $7.25 who go on welfare, right? In fact, we should expand it.

Minimum wage was never intended to support families or anything. Min. wage should be done away with completely.

Generally I wouldn't agree with an Ohio State fan but this time.... :)

Are you for the team up north

Seattle is doing it. We have $15hr minimum wage now. Investments and business are thriving here.
