Glad you got it all figured out. Can't wait for my "free" college econ classes so I can try to understand how this is going to be good for "us".


Five or six years ago I started paying $13 per hour for hoe hands. It’s not going to hurt most of us to pay $15. It’s the right thing to do and increasing income of folks at the bottom of the economy always results in the greatest economic stimulus.


So your workers are going from above minimum wage to only being minimum wage. If you are paying (example) 20% over minimum wage now, you should be increasing your wages to 20% over $15. Otherwise an increased minimum wage will just put more people in poverty.
