So large businesses and CEOs are extremely opposed to this law change because they are worried it will hurt the little guy? Haha yeah right.

Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist who was one of the first investors in Amazon, has the distinction of being one of America’s few progressive billionaires. We spoke to him about the class war—which he is busily fighting.

NH: Show me an example. Show me an example of where high wages drove down employment. You show me a high wage place, I’ll show you a low unemployment place. And this is because the fundamental law of capitalism is: when workers have more money, businesses have more customers, and need more workers. The idea that high wages equals low employment, it’s absurd. And you have to understand that when somebody like me tells somebody like you that [high wages equals low employment] is the case, the only thing that’s true about that statement is that if I can get you to believe it, it would be very good for me. Which is why people like me have been saying it, again and again and again, and why people like me have said it at every point at which workers’ rights have been advanced. You can go back 150 years and literally find the same people saying the same thing in the same way. “If we have to pay you more, it will be bad for you.” And that’s because saying that is a much more polite way of saying, “I’m rich, you’re poor, and I would prefer to keep it what way.”

Your great explain, Nick Hanauer, and his talk is great and all, but he doesn't practice what he preaches. A supervisor makes $10.25 an hour, forklift operator $30k/year, I haven't seen a non administrator position paying more than $42k/year. And that's his family's business, one that generates $500M in revenue per year.
Sorry, for some reason I'm not able to post links.
