An increase from $10 an hour to $15 an hour, in your estimate, was a good increase because it's a 50% increase.
I showed you that the percentage of increase is irrelevant.
"Living wage" sounds good, Glen, but in reality, you really can't define it, and apply it.
Again, you're essentially saying that a difference in molehills makes the difference in mountains irrelevant. And I never claimed to define a living wage - I'm not an economist. But I do know that such can be done - just because America hasn't done something before doesn't mean that it can't be done or shouldn't be done.
