My salary should double then. I’m not paying more in taxes so that fast food employees can earn $25/hr.

Why would you be paying more in taxes if businesses start paying their employees closer to a livable wage?
It’s a sales tax on the middle class.

How do you figure?
It will cost low wage workers their jobs. The unemployment numbers would skyrocket. Who foots the bill to take care of those who need assistance? This is basic shit. Shouldn’t need an explanation.

We want people off government assistance. We don’t want more people who need it. You obviously want machines to replace people.
FYI, small businesses would be screwed with that substantial increase.

America should spend the 10-12 trillion to do another New Deal for Green technology.
They could hire all unions and pay every worker at least 25$/hr.
