It’s been proven that a higher minimum wage is good for the economy and ultimately doesn’t hurt business (see Australia). The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in decades. It costs have.Maybe next time.
Senate votes down $15 minimum wage during vote-a-rama. Bernie Sanders seems unfazed. (yahoo.com)
" By a voice vote, for example, the senators approved an amendment from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) to "prohibit the increase of the federal minimum wage during a global pandemic." Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour is one of the heavy lifts in Biden's proposal. "
The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in decades.
Decades?
When was the last time it was raised?
Last time a increase was passed was 2007 under Bush.
really?
Obama didn't raise it from $7.25 to $7.80 in 2009??
Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour for a long time:

Also those calling for the Federal hike should request their State to hike it instead but as usual they prefer big brother to do a National hike instead...
The vast majority of states have. As long as "big brother" is going to continue to bail out Wall Street I'm going to advocate for the other end.
Vast majority of states have not raised their minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour, so let cut with the nonsense there...
Bite me. That isn't what was replied to.
No thank you and the fact is those like you make claims you will do this or that but then shift the field goal posts as usual...
