Now prices everywhere will go up to cover these costs then more consumers will bitch about increased costs from food to shitty products at Walmart.

Fact is half the population believes they deserve more than what they are worth and refuse to take a job below $50k a year while they can sit and collect unemployment or welfare. What is the extra $1 to $1.75/hr really going to do for the average employee? Just enough to get them off welfare?
