The problem I have with this, is we bring minimum wage up to 15 bucks an hour. Say someone with minimal skill now makes 15, essentially what someone with actual skills already make. Now as a small business owner, how can I justify someone with no skills making 15 an hour and paying my skilled employee the same? I can’t, so essentially I’ll have to raise my skilled employee the same level the minimum wage worker just increased. My current 15 an hour employee now goes to over $22 an hour. That is insane and is going to cost my customers and clients to have increases on their services.


This isn't what will happen. Skilled workers will take the jobs from the unskilled workers because they provide more value for the cost. This will price unskilled workers out of the market, creating a never-ending welfare class.

And that’s exactly what they want. They know what they’re doing.

States like Louisiana and Alabama already have a never ending welfare class, and coincidentally they both have a $7.25 minimum wage. It's crazy to see people from the poorest states in America fighting tooth and nail to stay poor.
