Economic MORON. Enforced minimum wage destroys many small businesses who employ those willing to take less.. in a NATURAL economic system.
Two groups benefit from minimum wage edicts— 1.)larger companies who want to remove any smaller competitors, who are thus put out of business by the government and 2.) UNIONS— who under FEDERAL labor law- negotiate the UNION wages for whatever union jobs BASED ON THE floor labor per hour figure of ... the Minimum Wage. Minimum wage goes up— automatically UNION wages are linked to the MInimum wage by FEDERAL Law on Labor.
The union angle is the very point that most people miss. Remember Biden states he was a union guy. Doubling minimum wage doubles union salaries across the nation and will put a serious economic hamper upon recovery.
