In the old days, when people worked for big companies, they'd give raises once a year, and by golly the stores in town would charge more for stuff.

I dont want it to go to $15 either, because I dont think the type of work they are doing is worth $15/hr. What incentive would people have to better themselves to be worth more if we just give them more in the first place? People that settle, will still settle. And they will still complain instead of doing something for themselves.
