You have no understanding of even the basics of economics. Do you understand that the majority of employers are small businesses that cannot afford to pay $15 dollars an hour. They will either stop hiring or lay off employees at the very least. They will also pass on the extra cost on to their customers or go out of business.“It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By “business” I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living…“- Franklin D. Roosevelttl;dr business owners do not have the right to subsidize their profits on the backs of their workers. If a business cannot pay fair wages it is a parasite and should fail accordingly. -- source link
