And those on fixed incomes, such as the elderly, will have less due to the increase in costs of goods and services.....

The last time the minimum wage was increased was 2009. How have those on fixed incomes dealt with the increase in costs of goods and services that weren't caused by wage increases?

If you have a bar and restaurant with 15 employees making $12 an hour, an increase to $15 will add an additional payroll of $45 an hour, $450 for a 10 hour day, $3,150 per week, $163,800 per year in payroll only.

Now you tell me how that owner is going cope with that wage increase and try and tell me it won't affect me as a customer...........
