The cost of living would be adjusted due to the increase is cost of product. In the long run with increase in cost of goods and increase taxes to pay for government handouts there would be making the middle and lower classes the poorest they have ever been. You could raise minimum wage to $35 and hour and nothing will change. No company is going to take a loss due to wage increases. They will either cut jobs, increase cost, or close.

It literally doesn’t make any difference at all what the minimum wage is. It’s all about virtue signaling. You can not artificially give the people who are on the lowest end of the economic spectrum (the ones that actually contribute something) without there being consequences. Once these people are paid more, the costs of their goods/services will also increase. Then you will see the entire country also receive an increase in wages to compensate for the increased cost of living. In the end these people receiving $15/hr will have more money, but will have the same buying power as today. Dumbass.

MW should be raised but not to 15.00. Why so drastic? How about 10.00?

You honestly believe that this will get people off government assistance? You poor naive fool. Lol

So you think that this is a good idea? Please tell me you support this?

What does this have to do with anything? You’re reaching for something that isn’t there.

Are you a liberal? You come off as a liberal.

They will still game the system....I remember standing in a Wendy's one time and one of the employees was yelling from the back.

I got to go.
I got to go.
I don't told you that I cannot work over 16 hours a week or I will lose my benefits.

You give 15/hr. They will have a job for 12-14/hr a week.

You are assuming that these folks will work for $15 an hour. I'm saying they won't and still get the same benefits they have now, if not more.

This amount would certainly put them out of range.
No. The resulting inflation caused by raising the minimum wage would effectively negate the raise. Therefore, the criteria for receiving the various forms of taxpayer funded assistance would be revised to make certain that those “benefiting” from the wage increase could continue receiving the assistance.

As others mentioned the number of jobs and full time positions will decrease.

The ones that want this believe in full government support either at the cost of business by basically creating a profit sharing model or as we saw over seas for years until Reagan a share the wealth model, or as more jobs move out of country and small business close the citizens will be forced to rely on the government. Doing do puts the individual at the mercy of the government.

What makes it worse is anyone that will oppose the government(left) no how the power to not only condemn those against them but the power to silence them as well as the fourth estate has become basically a para military arm of the left. The fourth estate was established or protections provided to it to keep in check the the three branches of government. The voice of the people which now has become state propaganda.
