And its not like well they work so they get less, they dont. Cost of goods for raising min wage is 4 cents for McDonald and I was around when it went from $5 to $7 . No mass firings and prices didn't go up thru their roof.
But lets look at this as only about ourselves, if you sell products be it porn, penis pills, personals or lattes at starbucks. If consumers dont have money they cant consume and you are fucked. When some guy is getting out of college with a 4 yr degree to make $10 an hour and 60k in debt. He isnt consuming anything and as a business owner you should find that a very serious matter.
