Every argument for an increase in minimum wage can be defeated by this simple question; if $15 an hour is a good idea, why not increase the minimum wage to $30/hour? If they agree just keep raising it until they say that it is too much. At that point you have won the argument because they will agree that raising the minimum wage negatively influences jobs.

If by they you mean the libs, there will be a snow blizzard of epic proportions in hell before they ever acknowledge that the policy to increase minimum wage was wrong or resulted in anything adverse.

Acknowledging the premise of the Left?

No. EVERY discussion w/ a Socialist should begin, “By what Right...?”.

- Whom owns said property to be paid out as ‘wages’?
- Was agreement of employment FOISTED upon the recipient, or willingly negotiated?
- How many employees did YOU hire?
- Why not open your OWN biz and pay the wages YOU wish? Since co-worker X earns less than you, why not ‘donate’ $Y to X?
- In fact, why not use GOVT to do just that FOR you?
