Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.

Yeah ! just as all the other increases “ruined” the country” Perhaps, just perhaps if $15.00 /hr. will ruin everything could it be that everyone making more than that is causing a negative impact ? just wonderin’
As dear old Aunt Eva ould say, “how could it be?” Only in America would so many wealthy and /or very well paid citizens worry so much over a few people making 15 bucks an hour.

Well, told ya so!! I love the Northwest. Great area, however, the liberals are destroying it!
These people demamded $15 to make more money. Now, a lot are demanding shorter hours because they no longer qualify for housing subsidies. Get off of the dole and take responsibility for yourself
Victims of ignorant democratic socialist activity. And now more satanic too
nothing that washington does is to help anyone but washington. every program, or illegal hack to the cons$#%&!@*ution is to benefit washingtons corrupt existence.
increased minimum wage was not supposed to do anything but cause further discontent and disruption to the economy. many of the smaller businesses that did hire people had no choice but to close. other places simply replaced people with computer terminals
