And the right-wing nutjobs hate it.

So, what happens when CA and NY make sure everybody gets a little piece of the pie?

Nothing bad.

People will live better. They'll get enough to eat, move out of the shithole they live in, maybe be able to buy some health insurance, keep their kids in school. Have a reason to show up at work. They'll buy more "stuff', helping retailers and manufacturers. And they'll pay more Fed and state income taxes, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes.

What's not to like?

Just to put things in perspective, Jamie Dimon got $27 million last year, $13,500 per hour. That's as much as 900 people making $15/ hour.

And the Red States?

More welfare, poorer health, less education, more crime, more unemployment, less tax money, worse schools and roads.

:mj07::mj07::mj07: some stupid kid deserves to get paid 15 an hour to flip burgers :mj07::mj07::mj07: it's called minimum wage because you have to have minimum skills to perform the job, it should remain low so people will have incentive to go to college to do better for themselves

How are they supposed to pay for college with the low wage?
You don't want a welfare program but you don't want to offer a livable wage as an incentive to get off assistance.

Actually it's the minimum as established by Federal, Sate or local law, but never mind that.

When are you gong to tell me how to get those nice fat checks for not working?
