McD's tripled the pay package in 2013 for it's CEO from 4.1 million in 2011 to 13.8 million. I think they'll be fine.
Raising wages lifts people out of poverty levels, out of welfare, off of food stamps and then they actually buy shit. Shit like durable goods, homes, autos. This baloney about tax cuts for the rich trickling down and keeping people at less than poverty level incomes is so ingrained that it's a bit more than scary.
It's either $15 an hour from their employer, or $15 an hour from employer plus welfare and food stamps. Voting for no raises is a vote for more of your tax money going out. Only high income people with a very low tax rate would want that. Keep those serfs busy in the exercise wheel that is their life.
