...we do need the $15 min wage?
why not $25?
Why not $50?
I mean, more is better, right? More means a more livable wage.
Who decides these min wage amounts?
Only 3.9% of workers are at or below the fed min wage, for those paid on an hourly basis (77 mil) add in those paid on Salary, about another 75 mil and you can cut that rate in half for all people employed. (from the bureau of labor statistics)
Most are young, first job people with no skills. You cream small businesses with mandated $15/hr rates. You think McD's isn't just going to automate their burger flippers and hire less people?
Mom and pop restaurants, scraping by aren't going to hire any new employees and may cut back on personel, or pass the prices to customers.. if their customers will pay for it...if not, unemployment here we come.
So flip the costs onto the public and basically put a round about tax on everyone, even poor people.
