maybe i’m a goddamn bleeding heart hippie liberal but i’m totally down with paying an extra .50 cents for a thing of fries if the person who makes me those fries doesn’t have to work 3 jobs just to survive.
most studies show that prices would only have to go up by 1 to 3 cents in order to raise employee wages significantly
or, you know, the ceo’s could take pay cuts but that would be so hard for the poor multimillionaires
It makes sense, until you realize that if minimum wage goes up, cost of living goes up too. In Australia, minimum wage is around $12, but things are generally more expensive there. Raising minimum wage doesn't do anything except make people feel like they have more money.
