Make it $50/hour, and then everyone can be above-average.

Don’t know if anyone mentioned this before, but I wonder if part of the fallout of raising the minimum is to not necessarily reduce the company’s workforce, but maybe they’ll lay off the Americans and turn around and hire an illegal who will work for $4.00/hr cash.
Not that the Democrats care about the American worker anyway...

Illinois need revenue for their failing public pensions. This is low hanging fruit.

It isn’t the pensions, it’s the high cost of ammo.

Move the Capitol there. Turn Va. red again. Chicago. They’ll get their exercise dodging bullets.

And they’ll be rewarded with far lower membership than ever. Even in the public sector.

Other non-Dem regions will improve dramatically, balancing it out (and most likely resulting in an overall improvement for the nation); and the Dems will have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

What do they do about people who are already making $15? Will they get a raise, or will they suddenly have a minimum wage job?
To: Olog-hai
Excellent! The more people they can put out of business and drive to America the better.
