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.

No. The law was not supposed to help. It was supposed to buy votes for democrats from people who are stupid. It succeeded.
Why do we need to increase minimum wage to $15/hr.? Do you not understand how it will effect numerous businesses that will have to close down because they can’t afford that much to pay individuals. The whole economy will become outrageous!!!!!
What do you expect from a liberal city??? Detroit ring a bell???
We all know the government doesn’t want independance, but dependance…they want to be everyone’s nanny
They will never listen.
let them have the 15.00 hour pay and don’t shorten there hour .They’ll see they still can’t make it. Because they have to get off the State funding. More likely they’ll quite there job. States should not let them back on the welfare again.
PSST. Don’t tell the spokane Envision population they are trying it here too.
