Face it.

The $15 per hr minimum wage push is just another tax increase.

Someone good with numbers see what the take would be for the parasites in government if it gets passed.

No it is not a tax. It is inflationary. Big difference.

The funny thing is that an awful lot of automation suddenly becomes a much better option starting around the $10-12 level in many parts of the US. The last I checked, a burger bot becomes the superior choice to a dude flipping burgers at around $10 per hour.

The obvious question is what is the burger flipper who pushed for $15 per hour going to be doing when he gets no money for no hours as he’s been displaced by a bot? The Dems bet the answer is ‘go on welfare’ at which point they will become captive Dem voters.
