I don’t know how many stories that I saw pop up yesterday
about the 15$ minimum wage, and how many around the country want it. I don’t, let me repeat myself I do not want
the minimum wage to go to 15$ an hour, and it is not because I want to hold
anybody down, it’s not because I wouldn’t like more money for myself. It is for the plain and simple reason of if
the minimum wage doubles won’t that mean that every price will double, rent,
gas, food, electricity, internet, cable, hospital visits, everything. I wish that we had business leaders who
instead of huge profits rolled some of that money into wages. I heard of a local business that had such a
great year last year that they bumped everyone’s wage up a buck. You know that those employees are happy. The federal minimum wage isn’t a maximum
wage, and if we impose a 15$ wage as a minimum I fear that many who are in the
ball park of that now will see their potential for higher wages. A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage will stifle
the economy.
