Then those workers already making between the minimum now and the minimum that every fast food worker is trying to get it to will now be making minimum wage and into poverty because those jobs won't increase salaries proportionally. Shit happened to me before. "Oh, minimum wage raised so now you're making the minimum and no raises this year because of it"..
If you want to make more, get a better job. No one's forcing anyone to flip burgers..

Actually not true Truman almost doubled min wage in 1949 from .40 cents an hour to .75 cents an hour and prices didn't soar and the world didn't end. Fast food jobs give .10 cents an hour raises that's why after 10 yrs she is making 8 and change an hr. That's someone who would of made a decent living in a factory now that's gone. Everyone isnt college material, some people are happy just giving a full days work for a day pay. There was a time in this country there was no shame in that. This is going to become a bigger and bigger problem.
We better figure it out because the revolution wont be a bunch homeowners bitching about property taxes. It will be adults hungry and tired from busting their asses for pennies and going nowhere.
