[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All y'all's arguments are sweet and dandy but as a taxpayer I'm tired of having to pay for the welfare and food stamps of full time employees.  I'm tired of subsidizing their employers.  [/quote]

Honestly I could get on board with this if the minimum wage increase actually came with a reduction on MY taxes that subsidize these companies! But you know full well it won’t! The taxes will just go to the support the companies instead of (and maybe in addition to) the welfare state. Or it will go to pay the skyrocketing price of products that companies have had to raise in order to be able to meet the enforced $15 minimum. Sure, those who keep their jobs will be making a “living wage” of $15/hour but then the cost of food and products will increase to cover it and housing prices will rise to adjust for that and everything will just inflate! Incredibly frustrating you don’t get that!
