Even smart people just lose all sense of logic in the minimum wage argument.
It's a stupid idea, bottom line.
It will create unemployment, inflation, and overall fewer jobs for low wage workers.
You have to ask yourself, if this is a good idea, why stop at $15? It's because it's not a good idea and really accomplishes the opposite of its intent.
Companies won't do anything unless there is an incentive. What this really will do is create yet another unintended tax for more affluent people to pay and fewer jobs for the people who need the help. Then we can increase people on welfare. California is probably the dumbest state in the U.S.
Remember, not all low wage workers are "losers" being "exploited" by large corporations. Many of them are young or retired working for the experience, benefits, or both. I'm sick of people saying it's exploitation. Flipping burgers should have a market price wage...not some arbitrarily deduced number to give them a raise while ignoring the unintended and more damaging consequences.
