Dems seek to rally base over GOP's block of minimum wage bill

The purpose of raising the federal min wage is to keep in line with inflation, not to make a living wage. I doubt inflation since 2009 is justified to the tune of $10.10 an hour though.

It has been lagging inflation for decades. $10.10 is literally just bringing it back in line with inflation.

Exactly!

$1 dollar in additional cost could require $10 or more in additional revenue to cover it, just to stay even. A $3 per hour increase with 4 employees could take $4-500,000 in additional annual revenues to cover and perhaps even more.

The lack of understanding is disturbing, but frankly is not surprising. It certainly explains why so many liberals are anti-business in their actions and attitudes.

Compare how our two states are run, and what the results look like.

So, what you seem to believe is that a 10% increase in minimum wage requires a 100% increase in overall product revenue.
