Lots of people who never owned a business are screaming for $15/hr min wage.
How many business owners make $0 until they get their business up and running?
How many business owners make less than $15/hr themselves?

Not degrading min wage workers, but if you are earning min wage, you’re at the bottom of the economy in earning power no matter what arbitrary number a politician puts there. Which means you’re also still at the bottom with $15/hr min purchasing power
@MattHintz3
How many employable people make close to minimum wage now? Not many I bet. If you're making minimum wage it's because they can't pay you any less!
@MattHintz3
Immigration limited to legal entry. Full employment encouraging competition for employees was doing more for real wage gains. Forced increase of minimum wage floor has a history of inflation reaction eliminating real gain. Also pushes more toward higher tax brackets.

Used to be? one replaced the expensive employee positions with automation if possible?, now it applies to the low end too! most industries that are planning a new build? have "less employees" as their no. 1 reason for doing it!
