They're worth about minimum wage, if that. 15 would be to much for 'em.

Can't wait to see a family of four pay $65 for those McDonald's Quarter Pounder Value Meals.

......of course they do - because it comes out of someone else's pocket.

Every worker should also be provided with free ponies....

Why $15? Seems to me $20 or $30 an hour would be more convincing. I guess they are trying to show how fiscally responsible they are by going for the $15 an hour. The Dems are brilliant. No doubt about it.

Or even $65 for real burgers and fries at the local roadside smokehouse. It would essentially put all restaurants out of business aside from elite, high end or chains that are large and rich enough to invest in robotics and still only a small percentage of those would survive.

Yep. Think about the economic impacts on smaller towns with family owned restaurants or even cities with entrepreneurial-owned establishments. This is "Bad Outcomes 101" but libs care more about their "help everyone with government handout causes" than logically understanding or accepting long term impacts of those policies.

I have a novel idea (well not too novel, some economists have been arguing it for years): how about we get rid of the minimum wage altogether so that more unskilled people can enter the workforce and develop skills to eventually move on to better paying jobs.

Why don't they raise it to a million dollars an hour. That way we can all work a day and retire. Why this penny ante $15 an hour stuff?

If you can arbitrarily set the price in the labor market why not set it at a price that will make us all rich?

Why don't they do it in San Francisco and New York City and not bother the rest of us.

Its their liberal policies that have made those cities so expensive to live in.

I agree!

Also, Why haven't we banned homelessness yet either?

If we made it illegal to be homeless all those poor homeless people we have now would be magically better!!
