Everything has positives and negatives.How about a simple question - do you think there are any negative consequences to raising the minimum wage? Yes or no, please. I just had waffles for breakfast.
But the NET positives outweigh the negatives regarding a reasonable minimum wage.
And $15/hr is reasonable
If you increase MW that much, businesses close down, it creates a domino effect across the country, it creates inflation, it makes it harder for others to start their own business. It would increase the cost of living and the need for more foreign imports.
What you just stated is we make policy that only benefits less than 3% of our workforce, it has mostly positive benefits for the country. How do you figure that?
