The GOP needs to get behind an increase of the min wage FOR POLITICAL REASONS. The current $7.25/hr is joke and to stand behind that makes us all( I still consider myself a Republican but I wonder about this party some times) look out of touch with reality.
Whatever your political persuasion, you ultimately face ruin if you base your policies on politically correct delusions. Real progress and social justice only happens when harsh reality is honestly defined and understood.
