Deal reached to take California minimum wage to $15 an hour

I wonder what will be at the expense of the increase of salaries. Probably raise taxes. A dishonest employers will find a way to avoid such laws.
But the idea is of course great, loud statement

$15 per hour salary is not viable, especially when the economy is not in a good state. This will ruin the small-scale and the medium-scale businesses and many of them will be forced to move to other states, such as Nevada and Arizona. If this proposal is implemented, then the blue-collar workers will be earning almost as much as the white-collar employees.

This is always an interesting topic, especially dealing with coins and learning what the value of things mean. The way I see it logically is that $15 would just be a number that represents what your work and labor is worth, and that number is relative to what the worth of other profession is worth. So if $15 is the new minimum wage, the all other wages, and the price that people will be willing to spend for things will all raise. And everything will be back in the same vote again.

In our country paid 0.7 dollars per hour. Here's the difference ! We will never catch up. It is necessary to change something But it is easier to build new than to edit old !.

Raising the minimum wage doesn't solve anything. It will just make the price goes higher. This is what the left does best; always look for an easy way out. If you want to earn more money get a fucking skill and better yourselves. I used to wash dishes and flip quesadillas in college and I was happy with the $7 dollar an hour they paid me and I am glad they only paid me $7/h or I would still be flipping quesadillas now.

Yes, but it's a short explanation. The price goes up with the salary of the people in the area, it's not based on you as individual. The price is more or less, what people are willing to pay for it. Paradoxically, the people get higher salary but also a higher cost of living.

I miss when the minimum wage was $4.75 and potato chips cost 25 cents instead of 50.
