Have you actually sit down and figured what $15/hr will bring a person? It will not support a family, it would hardly support a single person living alone. Most of these jobs would still be part time. Meaning, less than 40 hrs/week, no insurance benefits, and no retirement benefits. So, do you honestly think $15/hr is sustainable for the employee and employer. The employer would be forced to raise prices, therefore hurting business. Will you be willing to pay $10 for a Big Mac? You should stop listening to the Dem talking heads and do some math. This $15/hr minimum would be very detrimental.
