<<<Could you even begin to imagine the massive shutting down of small businesses that couldn't find consumers with enough money to buy their product>>>

I don't believe that is a reasonable premise, fishweed, as long as the consumer status quo is maintained.

Otoh, I can easily imagine the layoff carnage if these "small businesses" HAD to give their minimum wage employess what amounts to an approximate 30% wage increase.


Just another case of damned if you dont... damned if you do.

Nope, Red wants the minimum wage down below a dollar so he can afford to take his ol lady out to lunch.
